The untamed wilderness of Melrath is vast and encompasses frigid mountain ranges, glacial fields, deep alpine lakes, dark ancient forests as well as the expansive shoreline of the nation. Here creatures and spirits dwell together in the remote places of the world, far from the hustle and bustle of civilization.

Rakvald laid back in his cot in Iporun Steading in Desnind. He had been thinking a lot lately, about the decline of magic in the world, in the wake of the fall of Emea. He'd been there himself, making the sacrifice of his Immortality, his control of his voice, all in vain. It...
A strange convocation of spirits gathered at the outskirts of the Crater, where the Lanneisse churned in the hatred and hunger and broken promises that had bedeviled the entity since its inception. Each of the Cardinal Induks of Melrath were represented there....
60 Ymiden 721
Myrkvior Forest, north west of Noatun
As Ymiden dragged on and the dry heat failed to abate, the lack of rain and unrelenting sun wreaked havoc on the land. It was strangely sudden in its wrath; the trials of early Ymiden and the seasons prior had been so humid and damp that this...
Ashling attended the ritual sacrifices to Myrkvior this arc. It had been the Vynmur ritual the previous arc and she had been there with Tristan. A dear memory. But, Myrkvior, the great spirit of the forest with the same name, was the spirit she...
It felt like a weight had been lifted off him. He was going to be charting from the skies.
For all of his days of mapping, Brent had never truly considered the idea of being able to scout out the land and conduct his mapping from the air. He had listened in...
When Navyri had left his house in a rage two nights ago, there had been part of him that had wondered if she was coming back. And yet, it had been her idea from the start and she clearly needed him enough to have asked him in the first place. But despite her parting...
On the morning of the 23rd, the two infant daughters of Jarls Jerith Gofrith and Serena Crovan were found missing from their cribs. A frantic search ensues and soon there are posters all throughout Raelia asking for aid in finding the two young...
Now that the storms had begun to subside, Balthazar had decided it was nearing time for him to return to Scalvoris. Melrath was an interesting land with something around every corner for either Balthazar, Fuego, or Nimue be become invariably distracted by but none of it seemed to...
It had only been a short while since Balthazar last saw Victor and elected to leave the issues of Melrath in the hands of the Syns who were more likely to be able to handle them. He wanted to get involved, he wanted to help, but he knew he should not. He'd made a big show in Viden and...
Strangely, after the sacrifice of the Naer to the River Induk of Vynmur, the peoples of Melrath have all forgotten about the existence of Augiery, which was revealed by a Naer whose name has also fallen from memory. In place of that memory, a...

Mouse didn't look up while the wagon driver glanced at her. She had hitched a ride upon reaching the border, from where the ship she'd taken had landed on some shore and she hadn't looked back. It wasn't a port, it wasn't near a city, she didn't...
2nd day of Ymiden, 720
faint murmurs and foot steps entered Rabu’s ears but none of the voices sounded familiar. His eyelids were very heavy and opening them even a sliver made them sting. A dull pain pulsated through every part of Rabu’s tiny body and when he tried to move one of his limbs the...
Jasper sat in the library his expression focused but his heart and gaze longing to be outside and away from this meeting. The brown eyed Aesir glanced only briefly out the window at his patrons estate beyond the library’s walls and outside he could already the leaves had changed color as harvest...
He had been walking for the better part of the day. He had meant to leave Melrath on a ship- to depart early in the morning. But the moment his gaze had fallen upon the docks, fire had filled his mind,
At dawn, Ashling has turned at her mother Sol'ange's place. She has asked Sol to take care of her stormtouched patient Nathon Eagleowl. Injured after a brawl, the man is sleeping a drugged sleep in Ashling's cottage after a night of...
21 Zi'Da 719 | Azrael Blackfire | The Wilds
The sellswords trekked into Raelia, dragging the body of a grendel behind them. Talissa sat atop the horse with the child in front of her, slowly stroking the side of the horse's mane out of curiosity. It seemed that the child enjoyed the way that the...
It’s in the forest outside of Fensalir, not far from the old ruins northeast of the town. Ashling’s and her mother Sol’ange (personal NPC) are wandering in the wilderness. They are healers on an emergency mission, looking for a...
20 Zi'Da 719 | Azrael Blackfire | The Wilds
The cold winds had only grown colder in the Wilds outside Melrath and Azrael, who had been quite content with his camp in the wilds, quickly found himself forced into the city where he was staying at an inn. He still ventured out into the Wilds whenever...
Rorom was at dock, standing on the pier beside the Lucky Bird . His albatross, Fortuna was strutting behind him, waiting for a hand out. Meanwhile Eairok was readying the ship for disembarking.
Rorom sighed, impatiently. Mirq had been slow to show up, day after day since...
The Great Melrathi Wilds (Part 2)
97 – 105 Ashan 720 Continued from here
The next trial dawned bright and the team quickly took down their camp, eager to leave and get on with the race. Brent continued mapping, with the help of Bjorn or one of the scouts using the sighting rod. In return, he...
