Melzi (pronounced MELL-zee) is a town within Arda-Mulissu, a region of the Western Coast claimed and controlled by the caster Esarhaddon. Located on the coast of the Chaska Sea at the mouth of the Kafizin River, Melzi is the only port within Esarhaddon's territory, and the normally reclusive elf spends significantly more time at the town than he does at any other settlement. Still, while he closely watches all ships that come and go from within his manor-construct, he has little interest in governing the day to day life in Melzi, which is largely left to local leaders pulled from among the elders of the town.
Melzi sits within a small, sheltered cove, surrounded by tall sandstone cliffs. Much of the population makes their living from the sea, particularly as whalers or fishers, but others tend to the town's prized groves of olives and citruses.
Despite its size Melzi is a religious melting pot. Followers of the Chaskan, Khapeshan, and Hellean pantheons can all be found in the town, as can a number of Monadists. Rather uniquely, Melzi's few temples are shared between pantheons. For example, the largest temples is simultaneously dedicated to the Chaskan Hasamel, the Khapeshan Khenmu, and the Hellean Khalkeus, with the clergy of each serving the community together.
