Overview
Meliora is the young woman who becomes the moon shard wielder in Aurivallis after Draven Skyforge kills the previous wielder. She rules Aurivallis from the Temple of Resonance, where Xoh'Metztli acts through her and uses her voice to control the Tenari. The real Meliora reaches Cassian in dreams and asks him to end the goddess, even though killing Xoh'Metztli also means killing her vessel.
History
Draven leaves a warning in Aurivallis that Meliora has become the next wielder and that anyone trying to free the controlled people must kill both her and the goddess within her. When Cassian reaches Aurivallis, Meliora first contacts him through a dream and asks him to free her before the goddess detects the contact.
The echoes are Meliora's closest advisors, including Arinella as the Echo of Harmony. In the temple, Meliora takes Cassian to the summit dome, where the moon shard rests in her palm and her words press against his mental shield. Xoh'Metztli speaks through Meliora, telling Cassian that the controlled order protects Xolterra from Xol'Zahir and feeds essence to the darkness as part of that arrangement.
After Xoh'Metztli uses Meliora's voice to break into Cassian's mind, the real Meliora reaches him again in a dream and repeats her plea for him to end the goddess. Cassian returns to Meliora's chamber, waits until her shield drops, grips the shard in her palm, kills her body, and destroys Xoh'Metztli's essence before it can escape. Meliora thanks him at the end, and her death breaks the control over Aurivallis and Tenari beyond the city.
