Melinesh was an Uthuk Y'llan Lieutenant during the First Darkness.
Llovar Rutonu, Lord of the Locusts, had split his Host of Thorns into several contingents, each led by a trusted lieutenant. Melinesh the Cruel and Terrible was one of them. Even today, that name draws shudders when historians in Greyhaven discuss the events.
In 487, the Host of Thorns invaded Talindon, sweeping all before them. On the Ashen Field, the Host fell upon an army led by King Falladir and his sons. They fought valiantly. A blow from King Falladir’s sword nearly cleaved the head from Melinesh but the Uthuk were ultimately victorious that day. The Penacor line was wiped out.
After the battle of the Ashen Field, Melinesh fades from history.
