Melita (Mel-ee-ta)

Priestess Melita Firstsong

"Town like Marish is poised on the edge of trouble. Can't be helped I suppose. But a single faithful to Ashtyr can only do so much against a blight on Cadash that is the Skullmire Marsh. If I had my way, I'd get the Emperor to send a full division of troops and some mighty powerful priestesses, and we'd cleanse that horrible place once and for all. But the Brass Horde is a bigger concern for Theos I suppose. So I do what I can, when I can to help these folk. It ain't easy at times, but I'm a tough gal."

Personal history

Melita is originally from Ironguard, a dwarven village to the northeast of Marish. At a young age she found her faith in Ashtyr and was granted a blessing by the great goddess. Melita left home on a pilgrimage to the great temple in Theos and then for study at a monastery near Gorgo's Crossing. She excelled in her studies and was soon granted the title of priestess. 
She served for a time as a guardian for pilgrims heading to Spring Blossom to see the temple to Dal. Then as a guard at the temple to Ashtyr in Casteel. About two years ago, the former priestess in Marish went missing in Skullmire Marsh, and Melita was sent to investigate. She never found out what happened to the priestess, but has remained in the town ever since, convinced that a secret in the marsh may lead to stopping the evil within.
