Avalaria
The kingdom of Avalaria is the largest and oldest of all the current nations. Its glorious history begins in the first age, the Age of Dreams, as a kingdom that was built by the Tir. The end of the first age brought destruction to most of this kingdom and its cities, but eventually the human populous began to return and rebuild.
After years of distrust and war, Queen Alaria Winters is able to unite Avalaria into the kingdom it is today. Over the next 400 years, Avalaria reaches its golden age under its matriarchal rule. Nearing the end of the second age, turmoil surrounds the throne as sisters’ fight for control. Prophecies foretold that borne in blood so shall the thrown be torn apart in blood.
The Karismon War brings a shift in power, the queen is dead, and the surviving general after leading the kingdom to victory is put on the throne. In the 32 year rule of King Simon Alexander, he has become more and more distant and has begun to rule with an iron hand. As time goes on, the people of Avalaria become more unsettled with his rule, as the barons begin to plot for control of the kingdom.
Avalaria itself is often frozen in the northern most portions, and is lush and green in the south. Its once beautiful Tir built cities are beginning to become run down. The capitol city of Avalaria is now built around the dormant volcano that was once the magnificent palace. Along the borders of Avalaria are large towers that are within eye sight of each other. Built to defend against an invading army, only one in 10 of these towers are actually manned any more.
