Mel Shenshir

The City of Mel Shenshir
Type:	Capital City
Population:	70000
Located in:	Amalur

Mel Shenshir is a city lying on the eastern side of Drianna's vein in Amalur, and is the capital city of the Confederacy of Mel Shenshir. Rather than being ruled by a monarch or elected council, Mel Shenshir is ruled by the Guildpact - a treaty between ten Guilds that are each responsible for different aspects of the running of the city.

Mel Shenshir was founded in 1-1293 by immigrants from the city of Klurikon in the Fortenmar desert. Over time, it replaced Klurikon as the largest - and eventually only - Great Power on the eastern side of Amalur free of the influence of the Winter Fae. Mel Shenshir has frequently clashed with the other Great Powers of Amalur - Tala Rane and Rathir - with the three now existing in an uneasy stalemate.
