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.

From the south they came. Flying ships, that moved unnervingly through the air. Strange and alien their presence had first been reported by traders coming north from Uthaldria. A fleet of ships had stopped at the city...
Luvi stood next to her archery teacher, clearly trying to maintain the same stance on her legs as the experienced archer. Given that both their arrows were notched, it was only natural that they would aim for the target.
Her teacher had taught her that the bow was supposed to be...
Meditation was always an essential part of keeping good mental health. Luvi began to sneak in mind clearing exercises every once in a while just to deal with the culture shock of being in such different places during her travels to the Eternal Empire. She was still a long ways away, she’d barely...
Luvi felt like she was running around in circles with nowhere to go. She had hadn’t gotten very far with figuring out new ways to push her magic. Chaining runes was a nice addition but it didn’t really make her ‘stronger.’ Feeling desperate for progress, Luvi set aside time during her travels to...
The estate was very large but wasn’t anything complex. One of the Imair’s families lumber mills, it was actually surrounded by forest on each side. The trees were younger then others in the forest that was clear. There was a...
The news traveled fast on the river. The disappearance of several wealthy youths, who belonged to prominent merchant families trickled down to Raelia. As a Gofrith, it was Lykla's duty to make a showing for the recovery and rescue, if indeed rescue was what was needed. Lykla smirked to himself, and...
Liara and Duvrin sat side by side outside their home, enjoying the warmer weather after the rebirth cycle had passed. Saun would still be some time away but this was closer to the perfect temperature. Hot enough to rest and relax without being too much to handle....

Perhaps we go to the market, I could cook us a wonderful meal Liara spoke. The woman was, unfortunately, one of the two Irkall had found himself stuck with. They owned his necklace. Had he been alive he'd have slaughtered them for taking his belongings. But it was...
25th Ashan, 723
Slowly, Rey'na stalked her way through the woods.
Beautiful rays of sunshine broke through the treeline, giving as much light as could be expected in the forest. There was something soothing about the sun after a cold and hard Cylus. Running water could be heard faintly from this...
The melrathie mountains were a beautiful, but rigid and unforgiving. Ymir loomed above the other mountains, ominous, clothed in snow much of the year, but still beloved to the people of Melrath who dwelt in the valley he watched...
2nd of Ymiden: “Tears of Dreams” On the second night of the season a strange storm blows across the full expanse of Melrath. Softly glowing azure colored raindrops fall upon the nation. Those who find themselves trapped in the downpour find that the next morning their...
The smouldering coals of the fire went out sometime in the night. Sævar gave a shiver as he came to, even bundled as he was in furs and borrowed rags. The furs he'd hunted and trapped for himself, while the rags had been gifted to him, which came...
His soft footfalls fell arrythmically to the crunched leaves beneath them. He went by methodically, slowly, venturing farther afield of the outer forest of Myrkvior. His pace was intended to conserve energy, energy he'd need to outlast his...

Myrkvior
1st of Ymiden 722
Three trials past two arcs to the day, upon which Azrael had been unceremoniously treated to a nightmare, courtesy of the River's Daughter, he received another dream. He became instantly lucid, and would remember each syllable that...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
