Lady Melian Cadmus
Lady Melian Cadmus
The sorrow-filled wife of Arthon Cadmus, Lady Melian is a ghost who haunts the village of Ashwatch. During life, she thrived in the courts of her husband and his liege, the lords of House Valkar. A charismatic and caring woman, she was nonetheless caught up in the destruction of the 14th Lord as a member of a vassal house. Now, in death, her spirit lingers on, searching for the fate of her husband and the cause for the ruination of her beloved home. To this purpose, she asks mortals who pass by the ruins of Ashwatch to help her. Those who do not flee in terror at her spectral visage are rarely heard from again, as Ashwatch and its inhabitants are fatal to the unprepared. This fact merely adds more tragedy to her grief, though over time she has grown accustomed to it.
