The City of Melham



Dorian's Rest (formerly Melham) was once nothing but a small town with very quaint and simple buildings. It is named after the legendary figure Dorian who perished while fighting the Great River Serpent Yurmandir (for which The River Yorman is named) during The Age of Titans. Both died in the combat and Dorian's body as found at the mouth of the river, where Dorian's Rest now stands. His sacrifice is known by many in Renaria and also as far away as the Elven Kingdoms.

The city grew rapidly after the City of Tathe disappeared into the sea. Although seen as a great loss by many in the kingdom, the economy must move on, and so Dorian's Rest rapidly became the focus of kingdom’s overseas trade. It is also where many travelers fom around the known world set off from or stop for some well needed rest from the sea. Even as one of the kingdom’s largest trade hubs, Dorian's Rest humble beginnings can still be seen in the architecture of the old district and some areas of the harbour and docks.
