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.

New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....

The oldest settlement in Melrath, Fensalir has existed long before the first refugees from hailing Ne’haer arrived. No one really knows how long the city has existed, except that it was in existence for at least a hundred arcs...
The capital of Melrath, Raelia is an imposing city seated at the mouth of the Vynmur River. The city boasts a population of roughly 2,700,000 inhabitants who live and work within the city. The architecture of Raelia consists...
Luvi’s punishment ended, and she had been doing ‘the walk’ as her teacher called it. It was a way of moving while holding a weapon, or so the man said. Luvi was ready for something special after perfecting the walk for almost three hours. She was asked if she knew how to use a polearm, but she...
Luvi realized she was falling behind in her physical training just a few days after making such significant progress in her studies. To make matters worse, she was reminded less than a week ago that she needed to ensure she had mastered the art of meditation before beginning her upcoming training....
The two circled slowly before Alfred suddenly struck out, slicing straight towards Luvi's face. She quickly sidestepped the blow and slashed Alfred's back right side with more speed.
All right, get ready, this one is going to be from below. Luvi nodded and took her position,...
The two attacked repeatedly, and gradually over the course of a half hour, Luvi started to pick up on the flow of things. Luvi felt as though her muscles and mind were burning in tandem, one machine that was functioning as though its life depended on the movements, as if they were...
Luvi sat at a table at the center of her home, across from her friend with a chess board sitting between them.
“I’m telling you, it’s a game of strategy. You have to out think your opponent,” Marissa explained, clearly enthusiastic about introducing Luvi to the game.
Luvi was up at the crack of dawn and was expecting to have a quick meal before the caravan got moving again. There was bad news, however. Some thieves had come during the night and had taken some supplies and even some horses. Whoever was in charge of being on watch at night was...
Luvi had been on the move since before the sun rose. She had rode her horse alongside the caravan at a reasonable pace throughout the forest, letting herself take in the beauty that made up the area surrounding Melrath. The more time she spent out here the more she wanted to visit. As she made her...
Luvi was out on a typical nighttime jog in a quiet part of town. She liked to path around this area because it helped her clear her mind without getting interrupted by harsh sounds. Often times the only things that she could hear at this late hour were her footsteps and tired breaths. On this...
It was always difficult for her to judge what time it was in Cylus. Why it wasn’t colder was beyond her. If you asked her, without the warmth of the suns it would make sense that everything would just freeze to death. She wondered whether or not the moons gave off heat and if not how the...
Luvi was out at night, trying to find something to do that was different from her usual routine. She was just outside the reaches of lantern light and standing off to the side of a pub that she was still debating going into. She wouldn’t be hard to spot even though she had stuck to the shadows. She...
It had been a good change of pace to start working out again. She regularly worked out through sparring, but that was a whole different kind of workout than the muscle building she used to do. All the nonsense she had been going through was finally starting to come to a head and this was a great...
Luvi was back in a fighting ring. She was up against a visiting opponent who was pretty adamant about not letting Luvi use magic, which was probably more than fair. All he wanted was a straight up fair fight which was something Luvi was beginning to miss. Nowadays her focus had drifted away from...
Luvi was in her back yard practicing some acrobatic maneuvers. She was dressed in her scale mail and had runes along her body that signified that she was working with enhanced strength. That much would probably be obvious to anyone, even if they didn’t know what the rune of strength looked like,...
When Luvi came up with her idea of travelling to the eternal empire, she didn’t consider that the primary means of travel would be on horseback. It made sense in hindsight, but she rarely even used her horse. In fact, she often left it in the care of someone else. This was partly because she wasn’t...
Luvi shielded her eyes from the sun as she walked. She hated being outside when it was bright outside and still hadn’t quite figured out how to counteract it. Sometimes she wore a hat, or a cloak, but that was easier to do in the winter. Eventually she would have to figure out something or accept...
Luvi lay on her bed with her fingers laced behind her head. Her ankles were crossed and she wanted very much to get up but she’d got to thinking about magic again. She’d woken from a bad dream where she’d taken her new scythe and gone around murdering people. The ‘memory’ of being in a marketplace...
Luvi had a moment of clarity in the tower as she’d woken with a start. She’d felt aggressive, the kind of feeling that one might get when facing down an evil monster that’d just torn through an entire village. Her emotions had not been directed at anyone in particular… it was a general feeling....
Illuvia watched patiently as the construction workers outside her window worked on creating a building. It was quite large, much bigger than she would have expected it to be. It would probably feel rather restrictive to a family of five but it wasn’t like it would be done anytime soon. It was,...
Without any preamble, training started the following day. Upon entering the dojo, students were presented with a roster of three-person groups with whom they could practice their new technique. After defending themselves against their teammates, each member had to quickly...
A day passed while the group of students in white outfits practiced sword forms. The teacher, an honest woman raised in the area, was eventually satisfied with her students' progress despite the task being extremely painful. Even though Illuvia didn't stand out among them for doing such unimportant...
There were not as many students as there’d been the day before; instead, it was just the newbies wearing their white outfit over their regular clothes. Even though Illuvia's outfit was significantly dirtier than the others', she was exactly the same and didn't seem to mind. Her practice sword's...
At the close of another demanding work day, Illuvia trudged through the relentless cold that had become a constant in her life in recent weeks. The work she found was unforgiving, a ceaseless battle against the elements and the exhaustion that clung to her like a second skin. She couldn’t wait to...
Silently, Luvi awaited the instructor in charge of the new students' class to demonstrate the prerequisites for obtaining their uniform, signifying her official status as a student of the dojo. She was waiting in the back with a few others, her hands folded across her chest and her face...
