Mellianour

Mellianour was once a way station and trading post along the bay, where Desnians ships could shelter, and take on supplies after their long voyage around the Northern Cape. It was linked by road to the larger cities of Llyrius and Neras.

Mellianour sits upon the seacoast and is battered by the same foul weather as the rest of the northern coast as is rolls down off the Qumar peninsula.

Mellianour was a thriving city until approximately 130 years ago. In the course of a single night, the largest force of Schirae ever assembled attacked and thoroughly destroyed the city and then disappeared without a trace.

It was over a week before the destruction was discovered, as that was the next time I ship sailed into the Mellianour harbor. All that they found was ruins, and many dead bodies. It was the dead Schirae that told them who had attacked and destroyed the city. All of the city’s ships were missing and no trace of them has ever been found in the years since.

Lord Anclamir has tried several times to rebuild Mellianour, but each attempt has failed as those sent would flee in terror, claiming that the city was now haunted, filled with ghosts and demons. After a century, Anclamir has nearly given up hope of ever restoring the city. He has even put out up a reward for those who can once again make the city safe to be inhabited.
