Mellyrn

was the Elves' original capital city destroyed by Jibril. By the time Riku visited it, Mellyrn contained collapsed structures woven of trees. Although the ugly burnt marks remained, the ruins were blanketed in brilliant flowering plants like a graceful garden. In the world of death where the sky was stained the color of blood and the earth was sullied by the poison of the black ash, it appeared that the fallen metropolis still enjoyed the protection of an Old Deus. More specifically the protection of Kainas, the God of Forest and the creator of Elves.

This is the place where Riku and Schwi met each other for the first time.

Kainas's Sanctuary
When Riku and Schwi discovered the colossal structure, they mistook it for a library or a research facility, due to the Elves' architectural style, it was relatively intact compared to other structures as the Elves prioritized in protecting it during the attack.

The Sanctuary was made of woven trees and vines atop it is a vast garden of brightly blooming flowers, while fungi were clustered around pillars inscribed with Elvish themselves positioned around the garden. The Akasha HQ was hidden directly beneath the Sanctuary, its entrance hidden inside the Sanctuary disguised by multiple spells.

Akasha HQ
The first prototype of Áka Si Anse was developed using the core of captured Insein Nebia and fielded under the city, in which Think Nirvalen intended to use it to blow up the center of the capital along with the invading Dwarven fleet led by Lóni Drauvnir. However, it was never activated as Jibril leveled the capital with her Heavenly Smite before that could happen. It was discovered by Riku and Schwi about 24 years later.

Etymology

 * Mellyrn is the plural spelling of Mallorn, a term originating from Tolkien's writings. In his writings, Mellyrn were known as large trees that grew in Valinor, Númenor, and the Westlands, and were originally brought by the Elves to Tol Eressëa from Valinor, then to Númenor.
