Xaltana, Tomb of:---located high in the northern Border Range of Nemedia is the long-lost tomb of Xaltana, the Witch-Queen of Acheron. Concealed in the mountains by the magic of illusion, the tomb was buried beneath the temple of an ancient demon-god. (Marvel Graphic Novel, "The Witch Queen of Acheron", by Don Kraar)

Xapur, Isle of:---an island off the southeastern coast of the Vilayet Sea, having sheer cliffs and the ruins of a fortified city, Dagonia. More islets surrounded Xapur. The mainland opposite it was marshy, with a promontory jutting out toward the island. (Devil in Iron)

Xifeng:---a monastery located in the deadly swamps of southern Khitai. The monastery was ancient when Atlantis sank. The monks pray to a strange god born of the spirits of five dragon brothers, who joined to become one being, Xifeng. Lotus extracts are gathered from the swamps encircling the monastery. (Conan and the Grim Grey God)

Xuchotl:---so called City of Green Fire-Stones, lying south of Sukhmet and Darfar. It was a "long week's march" from the nearest outpost, through jungles. The city itself stood on a plain south of a range of low hills. The arid flatlands around Xuchotl were said to have "cactus", but his is more likely some other thorny plant. A stego-dragon dwelt in the forest to the north until Conan dispatched it. Many days to the west lay savannas where the blacks grazed cattle. In the hills to the east were sources of gold, silver, copper, jade, lapis lazuli, and marble. The gold of Punt is presumed to come out of these hills, washed out of the mother lode into the Styx. The Tlazitlans, a mysterious race that originated in Kosala, inhabited the city of Xuchotl. The subterranean Stone City, many leagues to the west, was built by the same forgotten race that built Xuchotl. (Red Nails, Conan and the Gods of the Mountains)

Xuthal:---an ancient city in the Southern Desert of Kush, built around an oasis. The inhabitants were addicted to the black lotus and spent most of their lives in lotus-induced dreams. Deep beneath the city, a shadow-demon named Thog slept, rising on occasion to devour some of the city's inhabitants. South of it were grasslands. (Slithering Shadows)
