Tesham Mutna Ruins is what remains of a fortress in southern Toussaint and is located south of Francollarts. The place was once used by vampires to hold both humans as cattle for blood as well as a special room to hold the legendary vampire Khagmar.
History
After the Conjunction of the Spheres, some vampires made this fortress their home. However one of the higher vampires, Khagmar, had such a bloodlust that he would drink and kill off entire villages in one night so, fearing for their lives, the local populace hired witchers and mages to hunt down and kill all vampires. While this was little more than a nuisance, like a mosquito buzzing around their ears, the vampires decided something had to be done about the one bringing all this trouble down on them and proceeded to trap Khagmar in a special cage he couldn't escape out of underneath Tesham Mutna. For the next 200 years he slowly went mad as his brethren fed on any humans being kept nearby but he himself couldn't reach.
It was abandoned an unknown time later but the cage that Khagmar had been kept in was intact, something that Regis decided to make good use of so he and Geralt could acquire an agitated form of vampire blood in 1275.
