Avalon

An ancient and enduring kingdom of hardworking farmers, chivalrous knights, and powerful mages, Avalon has a culture and traditions dating back thousands of years, with a history rivaling even that of elven kingdoms.

Avalon is a feudal state ruled by a monarch, a King or Queen, who rules over many landed and titled vassals. Though the country has a professional army, each vassal is expected to raise a levy of conscripts should the need arise.

The capital of Avalon is the metropolis of Westgate, a sprawling city on the western coast of Avas and home to the pride of Avalon, the Avalonian Navy. The city was built on the banks of the Laibhan River where it empties into the ocean, and 33 bridges cross the river inside the city's walls (because of this, 33 is considered a lucky number by Avalonians). Westgate is host to the University Arcanum, one of the largest and most prestigious colleges of magic in the world, rivaled only by the Arcanum Convivum in Volstadt.

Avalon's naval fleet is considered by many to be the largest in the world, with its numbers further bolstered by the Sea Dogs of Avalon, a loose consortium of privateers who swear fealty to the King of Avalon. Between the Navy and the Avalonian privateers, it is said that Avalon counts more than double the ships in its fleet than its closest competitor.
