Melona
“Melona: Where Beauty is Power, and the Forest Never Sleeps.”
In the world’s tapestry of nations, Melona stands out as a land of breathtaking contrasts and hidden perils. Known as “The Evergreen,” this totalitarian theocracy is shrouded in a cloak of emerald green, with towering pine forests stretching endlessly to the horizon and black soil glittering with precious jewels. The heart of Melona beats in its capital, Eulir, a city that appears to have sprung directly from the forest floor. Here, ancient trees grow so tall and thick that their branches entwine overhead, creating a verdant canopy that bathes the city in perpetual twilight.
The air is saturated with the scent of pine and earth, mingling with the faint, ever-present sparkle of gems beneath the surface. To the west, the Emerald Coast stands as a wild, treacherous expanse where the Green Sea crashes relentlessly against razor-sharp rocks. This coastline, infamous for its shipwrecks, lures adventurers and treasure hunters with tales of lost riches scattered amidst the wreckage. Despite its lush and serene appearance, Melona is no mere haven of beauty—its people live under the unblinking gaze of a theocratic regime, where leaders wield absolute power and the military’s strength is ever-present. The government’s iron grip ensures that Melona’s natural bounty—its dazzling array of emeralds, rubies, agates, pearls, and diamonds—remains tightly controlled, securing the nation’s wealth and stability. Here, beauty and power are inextricably entwined, forging a realm as captivating as it is formidable.
