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.
Barghest
Known as the “Black Dogs”, Barghests prowl the endless Black City. Made of black shadows and possessing terrifying eyes that crackle with lightning, a Barghest’s bark is capable of making even a brave warrior quiver in fear. Barghests are voracious and opportunistic hunters that will eat people, animals, monsters, and even stray fiends if they think they will make an easy meal. They primarily target weakened creatures or hunt in packs to take down stronger foes
