Melias is a region of rolling hills and valleys. The area is known for warm winds and the striking purple fields of lavender which, with the yellow grain and green pastures, drape over the region like a patchwork quilt. The people of Melias grow crops mainly for their own use but export wool and mutton gained from their large herds of sheep. The other main export of Melias is mead, the Vale of Hartwood being home to many fine apiarists and distillers under the patronage of the Hartwood family.
In the northern reaches of Melias there are many large woods that are well stocked with game. The nobility of the region are passionate hunters and while boar and deer are reserved for their use Lord Kealan of Melias magnanimously allows the peasantry to hunt rabbit, quail and other small game as a supplement to their dinners. Because of their love of hunting and herding it is rare to find a household in Melias, noble and common alike, which does not keep three or more dogs. Dog fighting is therefore also a common pastime in Melias, indeed sometimes dogs are even put in the ring to act as champions for their masters in private and judicial duels.
Melias is also home to the Great South Road between Hawthorne and Barad Lacirith. Much traffic, be it trading caravans or infantry companies passes through Melias on the way to Eston's fluid southern border.
