[QUOTE="HarryFlashman, post: 1358519, member: 16377"] "North of Lochis, on the Towering Steppes, once lay the Jewel of the Narn, Melchor, The City in Yellow. Known for its golden hued sands and the striking sight of Azor, the Shining One, rising over the Brooding Mountains and shedding its golden rays through Khalzam Pass. In the time of the Sojourner, Melchor was the most beautiful of the cities of the Taleta Valley but now... Now waste and ruin has befallen the Jewel of the Narn. Where once golden spires reached to the heavens now the yellow, pitted, rotting teeth of hag jut from the earth. Its once glazed tiles who shone the sun's rays now refect only the pitiable state of decay that has over taken the world. No longer are voices offered up to the One God, Katala. Now even the heathen gods are forgotten in once-great Melchor. The only song hear across the Towering Steppe now is the wailing dirge of spirits best left unseen and angry bellows of beasts best left unmet" "The Lament Of the Jewel of the Narn" introduction to the "Tragedy of King Midian" by Khoros of Lochis, Last of the Narn, Playright in the employ Councilor Talvis.
