• Location • Juniper Hills

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.

Fensalir Upper City Neighborhood

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 cottages or small groups of only a few houses in Juniper Hills are often a bit isolated. Trees dominate the cityscape. The exception is Ydalir Village. This is a military camp with many wooden cottages. There's also military training grounds and buildings. Juniper Hills is a favorite district to live in for hunters, foragers and Ydalir. Juniper Hill is essential for the defence of Fensalir. In case enemies attack Fensalir people in the other district may flee to Juniper Hills. The population during times of peace isn't high, but the district can house more people in case of unrest. Many Ydalir members live here, with families or without. The district is popular among hunters. There are also people who keep goats and other hardy livestock. Some forage berries, nuts and edible wild vegetables.


The Ydalir’s work is a service of major importance to Fensalir and Myrkvior. Businesses in this district are often revolving around the Ydalir's needs. There are for example local general shops and some taverns. Typical goods are a high-quality weapon made by renowned smiths and bowyers. Other businesses make winter clothing and wilderness equipment for Ydalir and civilians alike. There are small scale businesses which produce foodstuffs. Fensalir goat cheese comes in many variants. The district provides the city with smoked venison and fish. Condiments and jams made of wild berries are also produced here. Small anonymous home distilleries make “Forest Star”. This is a legendary strong alcoholic liquor from Fensalir.
