Mersin

Mersin was a city on Seven Cities. Once known as Inath'an Merusin, it was the only settlement remaining of the great cities that once lined the Mersin River.The Bonehunters, Chapter 2
Like the others, it had practised intensive irrigation techniques to flood the plains for agriculture and cleared the forests to harvest lumber for ships. Eventually the river choked itself with silt and the topsoil of the Lato Odhan disappeared making the area unable to sustain a large population for thousands of years.
==In The Bonehunters==
While travelling through the area, Icarium recalled Inath'an Merusin and the many other cities along the river. He was shocked when Mappo Runt told him that most of the cities had long ago crumbled into ruin. In fact, the amnesiac Jhag even failed to recall their last trip through the same region nearly eighty years earlier.
==Trivia==
Although spelled "Inath'an Merusin" in the text of The Bonehunters, the ancient city's name was spelled "Inath'an Mersin" in the book's glossary.
