Difference between revisions of "Melvas of Bernab"

The success of the ''Landmarks'' and the rapid growth of his fortune led to a sharp decline in the quality of his work, culminating in his hosting a literary reception on his estate in Ochresburgh funded by his department in 330. Finally dismayed by Melvas’s growing sloth and insubordination, the Emperor released him from his position as Surveyor General and issued a warrant for his arrest. With the help of admirers and bribed officials, Melvas managed to escape Ochresburgh but was forced to leave the Empire. Having gained [[Hernir the Magnificent (Jallan)|King Hernir the Magnificent’s]] favour during a diplomatic mission, he spent the last 11 years of his life in exile in the then-independent [[Kingdom of Jallan]], receiving a residence and small estate in [[Kalmanna]]. Melvas died in 341 of a brief fever.
