Kaymakli

In Cappadocian lore, Kaymakli was an underground city located near the Cappadocian motherhouse of Erciyes. Cappadocius used Kaymakli and its sister city, Derinkuyu as headquarters for the clan, and conducted a variety of experiments and studies in the city.

The city was a hybrid community of Cappadocians and mortals; the mortals provided all the amenities and served as a herd for the undead scholars in their ranks. While hardly ideal, the arrangement seemed to be moderately satisfactory for both parties, possibly tempered both by the generally unpleasant conditions of a 9th century Turkish peasant and the generally passive and somewhat more humane attitudes of Cappadocius.

When the clan was purged during the Feast of Folly, the city became a tomb for thousands of unfortunate Cappadocians. After that, the clan moved most of its activity back to Erciyes.
