Melaneth is a domain of pitch darkness. At its heart, the city of Durlossoth eclipses all else. Darkness forever shrouds the ancient stone structures that cluster together in a chaotic mess of twisted alleyways and dead ends that stretch farther than any mortal city. The fiends that [[haunt]] these streets are gaunt and haggard things who often appear emaciated and weak. Despite their frail appearance, fiends from Melaneth frequently venture to the mortal plane, where they make bargains with mortals. Their unmatched cunning extends to every interaction as they willingly negotiate with those seeking power or knowledge. Even the most clever mortals will find these dealings rarely end in their favor. | Melaneth is a domain of pitch darkness. At its heart, the city of Durlossoth eclipses all else.
