## History

Avalon was created by the Watchers to teach other angeliacs and demoniacs about their powers and the world. It's set on an island in the Pacific and has a wall around it to prevent natural disasters as well as prevent detection from humans that might be passing by. The source of Avalon's power is a vibrant blue sphere made of Ether energy, the purest kind of energy in the universe. The sphere is known as Heaven's Light and is used by Avalon's powerful psychics to interpret messages from the divine, although they are infrequent and rare.

## Geography of Avalon

### Districts of Avalon

Avalon is made up of multiple sections called Districts. The Military District, where the Arena, Forge, and Barracks are, is located on a separate island connected by a white bridge. Students training to become warriors head there for daily training. The Living District, which is where the dormitories and apartments are found, takes up the most space since there needs to be room for both students and guests. Students stay in the dorms for their first two years before they are allowed to move into an apartment with up to three roommates of their choice. The Medical District has the Hospital and Memorials. The Memorials are giant stone tablets with the names of deceased demoniacs or angeliacs inscribed. The Labor District is where food is grown and animals are kept to feed the students. Some students, if they choose to, may assist in the Labor District. Many of the professor use working in the Labor District as a threat for failure in classes. The final district is the Academic District. The Academic District is where the actual academy is located as well as the Stables for the griffins, unicorns, and perytons.

### Life in Avalon

Most students are enrolled in classes at Avalon by their parents when they are twelve, but some just end up there if they are escaping attacks or happened to come across it, such as Kazimir. Both angeliacs and demoniacs take classes there, and even though demoniacs have connections with demonic beings, Avalon trains them to be forces of good in the world regardless of who they are related to. There are some humans who are charged with keeping the secret of Avalon and who help keep the Avalonians updated with what's going on in the world.

A student remains at Avalon and studies for eight years total, finishing up and graduating at the same age a normal human would still be in college, which is around twenty. After graduations, a student may choose one of three separate paths.

* Slayer
* Trainer
* Protector

The role of Slayers are to hunt down demons and other such monsters in the world. Slayers travel in groups of three to seven, called parties. The idea is that a Slayer should always have backup if caught in an ambush or if overwhelmed by attacks. Seven is the maximum because any more would be difficult for the leader of the party to manage.

Trainers have a variety of roles: assisting students in classes, helping in the stables, keeping weapons sharpened and armor clean, helping in the Infirmary, etc. A student may become a Trainer if they choose to or if they fail two or more classes. If so, they become a Trainer for year before resuming classes the following year. Being a Trainer is not permanent, a student may switch to being a Slayer or Helper if they choose, but if a change is made, they cannot change back for a full six months.

Protectors, as the name suggests, are students who stay at Avalon and protect it from threats. There have been many occasions where a pack of demons have invaded Avalon and attempted to either kill or carry off students. The Protectors were created to serve as a backup in case of a direct attack. Some of the best warriors in Avalon are part of the Protectors, and they often can be found training or sparring with each other to keep their skills sharp.
