Character Notes

[thirdkingdom]

Intro is pretty dense with information, here's what I've gathered:

Mellas
Port City, walled
Population: 4,000

(I think the inlet and docks are to the South and possibly East, and it's not too far to the Sea to the West, but enough to have roads that brigands are troubling.)
