Etymology The remote elven fishing village known as Melian was named by the original elven settlers in the area. The name roughly translates to Precious Gift in the ancient elven tongue of that age. The elder storytellers in the area explain that an elven mother lost her two children in the lake near the village. The weeping mother entered the lakes in search of her lost children, never to return. Instead, her two children emerged out of the lake and found their way back to their father at their estate in the Northern Wood. The location she entered the water is marked by an 8ft statue of her visage. The statue and location endure as points of comfort to those who grieve lost family and friends.
