Thank you to Ashley D. for this one
Mellori is a powerful Semi-Divine wizard, who is the daughter of Grandmother Raven. She was raised by Baba Yaga at Raven’s request Eventually she becomes a student at Ravenwood.
Your wizard first meets her in Polaris, and she accompanies your Wizard on several adventures, including stopping the Rat from destroying the Sky Anchor, and foiling Grandfather Spider’s plan to destroy the Spiral by reversing the Sands of Time in Mirage.
Not long after, Mellori was kidnapped by the Cabal, who were collaborating with Grandfather Spider. She was held by Bat, the youngest child of Grandfather Spider. Medulla used his mind control abilities to force Mellori to break the Paradox Chain of Ice and Fire. Bat then attacked Mellori and stole her Luminiferous Essence to stop his father from using her to destroy the spiral.
Mellori fell into a coma. While her physical body was transported back to the Arcanum, her mind is in the Astral Plane, talking to her mother. Mellori discovered that Grandmother Raven is no better than Grandfather Spider, who wishes to destroy the spiral in order to create a new one. Mellori then enters the Reverie and learns that she is the heart of Raven. She was removed from Raven because she feared that her love for Spider would become a weakness.
After your Wizard becomes the Scion of Bartleby you awaken her from her coma. Bat returns Mellori’s essence, and the two agreed to a truce in order to save Mandalla. In the fight with the Storm Titan, Mellori breaks the final Paradox Chain that protected the Chaos Heart. Being near the Chaos Heart allowed Grandfather Spider to realize his feelings for Raven again, and both Spider and Raven apologized and declared their love for each other. Mellori also combined her essence with Bat’s to help The Wizard fight the Aethyr Titan.
The Little Raven (Corvus mellori) is a species of the family Corvidae that is native to southeastern Australia. An adult individual is about 48–50 cm (19–19.5 in) in length, with completely black plumage, beak, and legs; as with all Australian species of Corvus, the black feathers have a grey base, and the iris of the adult bird is white (typical also of some related species from islands to the north of Australia).
The Little Raven ranges over southeastern Australia from southern South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Also in Kangaroo Island (S.A) and King Island (Bass Strait). Living within scrub, agricultural areas, grazing pasture, woodlands to treeless plains, coasts, and suburbs.
Ashley D. pointed out some amazing coincidences between Mellori and Serana from Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. However, my source at KI has assured me that Mellori is NOT a reference to Serana. Any coincidence is just that a coincidence.
The current list of all the (known) Polaris references can be found here.
Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
