A renown Yeharene architect and city planner from kingdom of Belz, the works of Mel-zikar include reconstruction of Elaz and the Grand Temple of Pure Faith in Sofalss. His style that combines functionality and mathematical perfection in almost identical stone houses and towers on square foundations arranged on chessboard pattern has since been widely studied and copied by other Yeharene architects.
==Rebuilding of Elaz==
Mel-Zikar first became notable for his abilities in his native city of Belz. When the Elamian city of Elaz burnt down in 256 abv, their king Merak recruited Mel-zikar for reconstruction of the stone-rich city. He arranged so that Elaz was rebuilt in record time, with a wall which is a perfect square, surrounding a smaller square wall in the middle surrounding a citadel consisting of nine thick towers, all identical and smooth, built in red sandstone from the desert. All the houses of the city were designed by Mel-Zikar to look identical in being shaped like squares, with reservoirs on the roofs to collect rainwater for the dry season.
