Melchior was the homeworld of the Takemikazuchi Empire and one of the three habitable planets of the Shangri-La system.

Description[edit | edit source]

Melchior was the third planet from the star of Shangri-La and was one of only three planets in the system that could sustain human life; the others being Balthazar and Caspar. Like Balthazar and Caspar, Melchior was an Earth-like planet, but one with a lower landmass than the others. Melchior was colonized by the Takemikazuchi Empire and was surrounded with 36 space colonies, with the seventh being Yamato, which the Takemikazuchi established as the seat of their empire. For this reason, it could be said that Melchior was the Takemikazuchi homeworld. Though Melchior was primarily ruled by its own local government, it wielded key decision-making powers in the empire.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

In 150,084 CMT, Sefer Yetzirah informed Greatfather Voll that Melchior was one of the three habitable planets of the Shangri-La system.[2]
