Lemuria-of-the-West, mentioned in Tuzun Thune, may have been a colony. (Hyborian Age I, Exile of Atlantis, Shadow Kingdom, Mirrors of Tuzun Thune, Conan the Liberator)

Lemurians:---the race of Lemuria. After the destruction of their land, the Lemurians fled to the eastern shore of the world-continent where the ancestors of the Khitans enslaved them for many centuries. Later they were able to revolt successfully against their masters and migrate westward. This migration may have been prompted by racial memories of the ancient colony of Lemuria-of-the-West. There were in ancient times two main lobes of Lemurian movement: the southern, which eventually founded Old Stygia, and the northern, which founded Acheron. A much later movement of Lemurian peoples out of the deserts and steppes of the Far East gave rise to the Hyrkanians. (Hyborian Age I, Mirrors of Tuzun Thune)

It was located inland from Khemi, the religious capital, and was once under the power of the Yezmite cult. We have located Luxur on the upper Bakhr River, on a line with the important Ford of Bubastes crossing the Styx. It is presumed that the Bakhr, shallow in Conan's time, was once navigable up to Luxur. The city was later connected to the Styx by a broad canal. The lands around Luxur were presumably fertile and well watered during the florescence of Old Stygia, justifying the position of Luxur as capital.
