The Isle of Avalon

Board Threads Posts Last Post
No New Posts Eastern Region

The region of ice and snow, flat and steep. When approaching from the east the first thing you meet is the cold tundra which is covered in ice and snow almost the whole year long with only a brief spring before going straight back into winter again. Once you have crossed the nearly empty tundra you will come to the foot hills and then quickly from those the mountains. High and steep many of the mountains are covered in snow all year round. Still there are pockets within these mountains where life grows in abundance, small valleys in between mountains fed on melt water and flourishing. The problem is getting to them since passes through the mountains are rare to nonexistent as avalanches can change the surroundings in an instant. Also within these mountains are many caves and extensive cave systems. The only problem is what might be living in those caves. Wyvrens, bears, perhaps even a dragon. It is almost safer to just stay out in the cold. Once all the mountains have been gotten past you finally reach the rocky shores and can see the sun rising over the large and violent waves which cover everything in spray. Often large seaweed is also swept up from the kelp beds growing off shore which along with the rocks make this a very difficult place to sail through.

No New Posts Northern Region

The tropical paradise of Avalon, well sort of. This is considered the most dangerous of all the regions. The weather here is unstable and often sudden downpours will cause flash floods and mudslides. One also must watch out for bogs and quicksand. The wildlife here is also nothing to laugh at, whether it be a perfectly normal poisonous plant, or one of the man eating plants which grow here or a perfectly normal crocodile, or one of the gifted animals which will have some power of strangeness to further their danger. While the colorful and vibrant scenery looks nice it is easy to understand how vibrant colors become the natural sign of danger after spending some time here.
Surprisingly while this is the most dangerous place it is also the one Castle students try to go through most, or rather go around. The beaches on the other side of the dangerous forests are some of the most beautiful in the world and on sunny days the Seekers will often find students trying to sneak over there despite warnings. This is also where the Forsaken have prepared a back up home in case all comes to an end in their main one.

No New Posts Western Region

The temperate woodland which is covered mostly in ancient forests it is imposing to behold and easy to get lost within. Not all of this area is forest though. It is spotted with large ponds, creeks, meadows, and fields though none nearly as big as those around the castle. It is within these woods that the Forsaken have made their home.

No New Posts Southern Region

A huge expanse of desert and grasslands, the day heat will fry you and the night cold will chill you. The endless looking sands are broken up by canyons and cliffs to the east and grasslands to the west but mostly it is very inhospitable desert, oceans of sand with the dunes moving like waves over the surface.

No New Posts Castle

Imposing and elegant the Castle was built to show strength and beauty and the architect accomplished both. Rising towers, high ceiling corridors with beautiful views of the Lake and surrounding areas. Beautiful stain glasses can be found as well as detailed sculptures, mosaics, and carvings. The entire building is a work of art, and one which can protect those inside it. Large walls surround the castle made from smooth solid stone summoned by someone with stone abilities so there are no cracks and such smoothness that climbing is impossible, not to mention barriers enforce the walls keeping out any dangers.
Between the walls and the castle building is the courtyard with lovely gardens and also buildings such as the stables and kennels. Then one finally comes to the Castle itself. Filled with rooms for living in, working in, eating in, and so on it was planned to have everything that could be needed. Running water, a rudimentary heating system. There were even special crystal orbs made to give off light when activated so even at night the halls can be brightly lit.

No New Posts Village

The village where the Non-Gifted who work for the Gifted, as maids, cooks, servants, blacksmiths, whatever, live and conduct their business if it takes place outside of the castle. A simple town of stone and wood buildings by a river it would not look out of place as a quaint European town. Gifted students might sometimes come down to visit, especially if they wish to obtain something they couldn't get in the Castle.

No New Posts Lake Abluo

Lake Abluo is the largest body of water on the island and located roughly in the center of it. Deep and wide, there is plenty of room for boating and other water activities for the students with free time and enough guts to swim in the same waters where giant Serpents live, though they have not been known to ever attack a human being.

No New Posts River Road

The River Road is the fastest and safest way to get from the Harbor to the Village and vice versa. With trees growing tall on both sides it is only this one strip that has been cleared and while the road it not paved it is maintained so the dirt tract is not lost in new growth. Beside it is the quick flowing river which is narrow and wide at different locations. Where it is more narrow is where you can see the clearest evidence of the un-repaired Old Road, bridges or the remains of bridges dot the river.

No New Posts Harbor

Larger than the village but very different in design. It does have similar buildings, but it also has buildings which are more like huts built on stilts. These are special homes fishermen use so they can place they boats right next to their homes. Larger and more independent than the Village there is more here to attract the attention of a curious student.

Outside of Avalon

Board Threads Posts Last Post
No New Posts The Outside World

The rest of the world surrounding Avalon, separated by water and mysterious power that keeps the island hidden. Out in the world things have changed and technology has become far advanced to that on the Isle. Still just like in Ancient days people are still being born with power out there. Having to try and master it and hide it on their own the Seekers go out into this vast world of ours trying to find them and save them from the isolation of being Gifted in a non-gifted world.

No New Posts The High Seas

On the open ocean the vessel of the Seekers sails for one week either going out into the world or coming back in with a precious cargo. This is no cruise vessel though since getting to and from Avalon is very difficult. There are many natural barriers around the island. Rocks, reefs, sand bars, and the weather in the seas near the isle can suddenly go from raging tempest to perfectly still doldrums and back again. While the ship always makes it back, sometimes the crew and passengers do not.
