Jaga:---a headhunting tribe of the Talakma foothills of Kusan. (Curse of the Monolith)

Janagar of the Opal Gates:---an ancient lost city, rich beyond imagining, that existed before the oceans swallowed Atlantis. The city lies in the heart of the desert between Zamboula and Kutchernes. It sits in the center of a great depression, deep enough to hide the city unless you are right on top of it. The city has mighty walls, towers of purple, green, alabaster, or red marble, with cupolas of bronze atop each. Beautiful palaces, temples, and flat-topped terraces lie beneath the towers, rich with flashing gems. The massive gate carvings are inset with opals, hence its name. Janagar reigned for five thousand years as "Queen of the World". Near the end of that time, the priest-kings gave the order to seek out the existing pre-human races and learn their knowledge. Eventually, their acquisition of magical knowledge became so great that the god-like "Powers" took notice of them and began to blast the priest-kings with spells so terrible that the very fabric of the world vibrated with each attack. This was the Great Cataclysm that altered the structure of the entire world. Janagar survived because a final spell, the "Spell of Unchanging" preserved the city and hid it from the "Powers". The cost of this great magic made a desert of the land around the city. This forced the people of Janagar into a subterranean existence, living on mushrooms. The city was reduced to ruins in Conan's age by the mage, Arsaces of Iranistan. (Conan and the Amazon)
