Melian Amarak

Melian Amarak was an organized crime boss in Araven. His path first began to cross that of Elven Secrets when the adventures killed a carrion crawler. In the town of Hazleton, Snow in the Season of Mists met with one of Melian's employees, a thief named Phinneas. They arranged for the poison within the carrion crawler's sac to be extracted and sent forward to Araven.

Elven Secrets soon found found that working with Melian was more straightforward than attempting to navigate the complicated politics of Araven's four merchant houses, and that Melian in his own way was just as powerful. His inside sources knew about the item that had been stolen from House Falladren, which soon put the party on the tail of the thieves, the Jack and Queen of Diamonds. Melian particularly wanted the head of Korren, the Jack.

After Elven Secrets accomplished this, Melian rewarded each member with a (relatively common) magical item of their choice. They chose:


 * Cedric Eyriendor: Cli Lyre (Instrument of the Bards)
 * Dailan Woodwil:
 * Neretris Veldrillar: Ring of Protection
 * Snow in the Season of Mists:
 * Vesryn Veldrillar: Ring of Protection

Melian enjoyed eating chocolates. He had two bodyguards, Righty and Lefty, named for the sides of Melian on which they traditionally stood.
