Where is Melesa?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


In RotRL #1, in the Thassilon chapter, it gives each of the domains of Thassilon a brief summary, and under the Edasseril heading it claims that Xin-Edasseril has been gutted in modern times for the stone in order to build the city of Melesa nearby. Yet having looked at numerous maps of Varisia (including THE MAP of the Inner Sea) I can't find any listing of Melesa anywhere.

Am I missing something or is this an oversight on the part of the various authors?

That's a fragment we never developed. There's a couple of those in the first volume of Pathfinder. The city of Melesa doesn't exist. Xin-Edasseril was somewhere in the Ironbound Archipelago though, so its likely located on one of those islands and its stones were perhaps "gutted" for the city of Halgrim.

Ah! I suspected that there were some changes in Thassilon when it described Gastash's fertile holdings around Korvosa in the same article. Thanks for the clarification and the alternate city idea.
