Talk:Melanith

Shining South spells her name "Melinith". Which is correct? ~ Lhynard (talk) 02:56, October 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's "Melanith" in The Shining South (1993). — BadCatMan (talk) 03:10, October 13, 2015 (UTC)

Father?
Is it stated clearly that Ausitil is Sadalar's daughter? ~ Lhynard (talk) 03:53, July 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * It is not stated or even implied based on what is presented in The Shining South (1993). All it said (pg 26) was that Ausitil was Melanith's daughter. Sadalar was mentioned as being Melanith's consort on the previous page. Artemaz (talk) 12:48, July 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * The other possibility is the drow consort Nym Inthigg, who followed Sadalar. Both men disappear from the 3rd-edition books. However, looking at the dates in Grand History, Ausitil was born in 1101 DR and was sole heir. Melinith began her isolationist policy in 1213 DR after a series of defeats. The 1993 Shining South says the isolationist policy came after a series of defeats in which Sadalar was killed. Assuming these are the same defeats and they're not stretched out over a century, Melinith picked up Nym over a century after Ausitil was born. So it's strongly implied Sadalar is Ausitil's father (unless Melinith had other consorts at the time, that is). — BadCatMan (talk) 13:28, July 31, 2016 (UTC)
