== Geography ==
===
Melevorgrad is situated between the banks of the Saile and Darach Rivers, both of which flow further in-land, with the Saile ending at the swamps of Mud Town and the Darach ending near the Temple of Pater Carnis. Two bridges in the city cross the Saile, connecting the city to the Island of Collectivists, while further east a large bridge crosses the Darach and connects the Ceiltean C.C.R. with the Honseguoan C.C.C.R. The city is also connected in the west by a small bridge connecting the island of Willowglade and the Willowgladian C.C.R. to the Ceiltean C.C.R. The city is flanked to the south by a large dark oak forest, which originally stretched up to the Saile where the city now stands but was cut down.
=== Time ===
Melevorgrad serves as the reference point used for the time zone used in most of Western Arith and parts of Moria. The areas operate in what is referred to in international standards as ''Melevorgrad Standard Time'' (MVG), which is 10 hours behind of UTC, or UTC-10.
=== Climate ===
Melevorgrad's position is a peculiar one regarding climate, with large snow-covered mountains to the south which often blow north into the city causing sleet and snow, and with tropic waters to the west which also blow a warmly westerly breeze through the cities at times. During Fall and Winter the city, which is mostly built on top of a former dark oak forest, is affected by southerly winds and weather conditions including much rain and snow, which has helped produce the extremely green and fertile soil on the lands outside the city. During Summer and Spring the city enjoys clear and warm weather, affected by westerly winds and heatwaves coming from the west and from Willowglade in. Weather can fluctuate widely, with temperatures ranging from -10°C (14 °F) during Winter to up to 35°C (95 °F) during the Summer.
Typical high temperatures in the warm months of June, July, and August are around a comfortable 20 to 26 °C (68 to 79 °F), but during heat waves (which can occur between May and September), daytime high temperatures often exceed 30 °C (86 °F), sometimes for a week or two at a time. In the winter, average temperatures normally drop to approximately −10 °C (14 °F), though almost every winter there are periods of warmth with day temperatures rising above 0 °C (32 °F), and periods of cooling with night temperatures falling below −20 °C (−4 °F). These periods usually last about a week or two. The growing season in Melevorgrad normally lasts from the start of Spring in March to the middle of Fall in September.
