Keltar was located at the eastern edge of the Calim Desert along the deepest point of the Calim River. The majority of the city was on the west side of the river, but the cattle processing centers were on the east side. It was one of the smaller cities of Calimshan — a town by usual Calishite standards — and contained eight sabbans composed of 24 drudachs. Unlike with other Calishite cities, Keltar's sabbans were named after the eight points of the compass. The House of the Broken God (see below) encompassed the entire Northwest Sabban.
