Malain
Fifth emperor of the Corani Empire and the first ruler to adopt the title of "Emperor." Founded the cities of Merethos (now Golotha) and Shiran. He is also credited with the creation of the Corani civil service, a complex and sophisticated organization that eased the burden of administrating the lands won by Arosta, the fourth Emperor of the Corani Empire. [Tharda 1]

Medak
First official act as the 14th Corani Emperor was to have Workol executed. Vigorously fought corruption and regularly executed venal officials. Repealed many of the tax laws. Using funs seized from the corrupt, he was able to repair much of the neglected defenses and roads of the Empire. He hated astrologers and prophets and sentenced many to death for "Crimes against the greater good." One of those was the Morgathian prophet Balsha whose reputation for accurate doom saying had won him a wide following. Coranan was besieged and surrendered in 365 after Emperor Medak was captured by the Balshans while attempting to flee Aleath and impaled outside Coranan. [Tharda 1]

Mejenes
Emperor from 443 to 465, he defeated the Alethains invasion in a brilliant campaign resulting in the annexation of the Althian kingdom. Having removed the last obstacle to Corani hegemony in western Hârn, Mejenes turns his attention northwards, but died of fever while campaigning in Equeth in 465. Father of Sylud the Scholar. [Tharda 1]

Meketa
(pl. Meketai)

A Meketa ("High Commander") is the commander of an independent chapter house or a temple garrison for an Agrikan fighting order. He is subordinate to the Akarata ("grandmaster") and the Tenekai ("deputy grandmaster"). S/he frequently has dealings with the Aperterahn ("Master of the Middle Discipline")of the sponsoring clerical order.

Melderyn
The enigmatic "wizards' kingdom" of Hârn has always had a pervasive influence over the region's culture. Located on the far eastern coast, it is closest to Lythia. The kingdom is ruled by a king, but most assume it is controled by a secretive magic society called "the white hand".

Merethos
Later renamed to Golotha, it is in the country of Rethem. [Tharda 1] In 562 the Balshan jihad captured Merethos, renaming it Golotha
[Top]
Merele of Kantar
Merele of Kantar is the grandmaster of the sponsoring order of the Eight Demons. She supports the return of Themeson to the Republic. Her influence, combined with the persuasion of the Senate, will probably ensure this result. Merele is forty-two, an alluring if sinister figure in Shiran society.

Mindrithar
He was the successor to Saurach and eleventh emperor of the Corani Empire. He reformed the tax and legal codes and promoted religious liberty and trade. He was unpopular with the traditional Corani nobility. His efforts eroded much of their powers. Died in 512. Father to Korad. [Tharda 1]
[Top]
Moleryn
Moleryn had an independent alliance with the Kingdom of Kanday. Attacked by Jalien of Shiran from Eidru. Moleryn was hopelessly outclassed by the League armies and quickly sued for peace. Ironically, one of the few casualties of the campaign was Jalien, who was killed by a "stray arrow" in his tent half a mile from the walls of Moleryn. [Tharda 4]

Morgath
Evil god of the dead/undead [Tharda 1-2]

Morgat
The month of March in the Hârnic calendar, it is also the last month of winter.
