The cities and villages of Melrath are as varied and diverse as they come. The capital of Raelia is the the jewel of this western kingdom, playing host to a merchants, artisans, Aesir priests, as well as a cut throat political landscape dominated by the nobles of Raelia. To the south in the depths of the Myrkvior Forest lies Melrath's second largest, and oldest city, Fensalir. Here people have learned to live alongside spirits and the natural world by maintaining their loyalty to traditions laid down the first Melrathi. To the east lies the small fishing village of Noatun, and to the western mountains rests the Mer city of Verimeer, the brewing town of Alivilda and the alpine village Vormund.

Goku meandered down the streets of a city in Melrath, his thoughts adrift in a sea of memories, choppy and unrelenting. Melrath was a country that was unique to others he’d been to. The sun, a fiery orb in the sky, was setting, splashing the world in hues of orange and red. It was during such...
Illuvia leaned over the worn, wooden desk in her small room, focused on studying and practicing writing. She considered writing as a kind of art form which wasn't surprising given that her primary magical abilities revolved around runes. She didn't have a natural talent for it but she had passion....
In the dimly lit room, Illuvia, a determined mage, embarked on the challenging task of mastering the fusion of the Rune of Strength with a Touch Trigger. Her room was cluttered with notes documenting her failures, a testament to her commitment to overcoming obstacles. With a sense of anticipation,...
Illuvia woke up early, happy to catch the sunrise. The crisp morning air and the sight of the golden disc rising over the horizon never ceased to amaze her; it filled her with a sense of wonder that only those who witnessed the beauty firsthand could truly understand.
Illuvia had been sitting cross-legged on her friend's living room floor for a while now, engrossed in conversation with her about an extraordinary dream she had last night. It was one of those dreams that seemed so vivid and real that it felt as though they were actually experiencing the events...
Irkall skulked the city in unseen form, eyes watching all those around. Days out like these were few and far between in the colder seasons. While the Mortalborn preferred the privacy of the home on a typical day, he had recently found new revelations that could lead him to other...
The wooded floors of the small cottage creaked beneath the heavy feet of Syvaine’s father as he entered the room. Sylvaine sat patiently at the table, legs crossed, but her posture relaxed. Comfortable. It was an odd feeling - the feeling of being back home after moving away....
Investigating the rumor of the Starblade had proven to cost more dearly than he was beginning to suspect the blade itself might be. He'd sunk many of his golden nels into the pursuit of information, bribing this harborman, getting this other one drunk to the point of loose lips, and generally...
Every journey has a beginning, every tale a genesis, and every mage, an initiation. For Illuvia, her initiation into the world of Hone was not merely a transition; it was a transformation. The moment she traced the first symbol onto her skin, she connected with a power that existed beyond the...
Two trials prior, Kiljan looked askance at Lykla, and lifted a brow at the young Gofrith. It's a bit against the grain, is all. He stated of the lad's purported intention to join the Aesir. For a Gofrith to join the priesthood. And not even as a freebooting shaman, but a loremaster? Nose stuck in...
One quiet afternoon, ensconced in the solitude of her home, Illuvia found herself engrossed in the realm of magical runes. Her mahogany desk, a stalwart companion to countless hours of study, was spread with a plethora of parchment, ink, and books. The room, often...

Slowly, a black cat stalked through the streets of Melrath.
Controlling the body of another human was useful. But manipulating an animal was something else entirely. Truth be told, Irkall hated it. It was alien. It was powerless. What could a small cat like this do to defend...
Having seen her share of the victims of prolonged spiritual and ghostly possession, Srinnia had instructed Sævar of the signs that people tended to suffer. Prolonged bouts of apathy, lethargy, and deathly pall. Sævar couldn't help scoffing at that. Sounded like...
15th Cylus, 723
To the people of Melrath! To our great nation and to the Spirits that have blessed the Arc to come!
A large cheer burst from the crowd, a large campsite set up on the outskirts of Raelia with hot and hearty stew handed to any and all that wanted it. It was a cheerful time,...
Hello Mother and Father and all of my Brothers and Sister
I am sorry that it has been a while since I have written in this scroll. Cylus as you are well aware is a difficult time. I will say that I do miss the whole family gathering together in the great hall, the large fire roaring,...
It was Lykla’s birthtrial. In spite of his better judgment, he heeded the invitation of his father, Hellir, on the fields south of Gull’s Roost. His mind was a curious jumble of ideas and assumptions. What could his father want? Did he have a gift for Lykla? Knowing his father...
Brent rode solemnly on the back of his sleipnir as the ceremonial procession began through the sacred forest. The one benefit that he hadn’t quite anticipated from taking on Sinir to be his mount was the odd level of...
The Central District, or “Aurelien Town” in popular speech, is one of the three districts in the lower city. The Center is located in the middle of the lower part of Fensalir, flanked by Pinegarden to the west...
Aspenglades is one of the two districts in the upper city. The population is higher than that of Juniper Hills, but Aspenglade is still a fairly calm district built in the mainly deciduous forest. The many...
Juniper Hills is one of the two districts in the upper city. It is a rustic outdoors-man district where people with wilderness occupations and the military thrive. It's a fresh and active place. The single...
Loren's Pond, located on Andagatan road in Vaettir Hold, in Raelia, is a small park within the city. It is located westward of The Ox's Bellow Tavern. It is a moderately sized pond, but is incredibly deep, disappearing far...
Mama Gee's Herbalism is a small stall located just down the road from the Ox's Bellow Tavern, on the south side of Raelia in the Vaettir Hold, near to the wall. This stall was specifically placed by...
Located down the road from Mama Gee's Herbalism stall and The Ox's Bellow Tavern is a bakery on the corner of a block. This bakery is Greta's Hot Buns, as indicated by the large cast iron sign above it.
Goran's Smithy is located in the Vaettir Hold, on the south side of the city. It is placed right against the wall, indicating that it isn't the wealthiest of smithies. However, a smithy in Raelia is never impoverished....
A large two floor tavern built in the style common to Raelia. It is located in the southern portion of the city, somewhat near to the wall, in the Vaettir Hold, though not right next to it.
