The Mehtani Keys is situated at the southeastern end of Istan and is dotted with cays, small islands, and sandy beaches. There is a small Istani fishing village in the northernmost island, but overall, this area is populated by many unfriendly skale, hidden mandragors, and hostile plants. It is also frequented by corsairs engaged in shady dealings or as a good staging area from which to launch raids into Istani settlements.

[edit] Notes
- In the corsair area in the southeast, two young children and an Istani woman can be seen among the corsairs. If you clear the area of corsairs, the three of them will run to the nearby boat.
- There is a Treasure Chest in the southwestern island, by the marooned ship.
- The Monument of Dahlah and the Monument of Nahlah can be seen at the southeastern and the southwestern corner respectively. They appear to be remnants of the first kingdom and resemble the structure shown in the Istan loading screen.
- These quests will affect the spawns in this area:
- Complete exploration of this area will yield about 2.3% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.
- Vanquisher runs of this area in hard mode yielded about 255 enemies.
- Anti-melee skills are useful here as there are many warriors and dervishes in this area.
- There are several random spots of hidden mandragors: northeast from the exit into Kodlonu Hamlet, the first island southwest from that exit, bottom of the bridge leading to the northern island, and the northeastern corner.
- The Lone Raider quest gives you four additional monk allies that are somewhat helpful to vanquishing this area.
