* Map

Avallon is one of the three castles located on the continent of Retha. It plays a big part in the origins of the Heralds of Retha, who are a legal team of heroes within the castle. Avallon also has anti-magic laws, but has become more flexible over time.

## Location

This castle is located on the continent of Retha. It is on the south-eastern area of the continent, surrounded by forests and the sea shore.

## History

Avallon was formerly known as Avathon long ago. Over time is name changed becoming what it is today. The reason for this is largely unknown in the modern day.

Avallon has always been a human-dominated castle due to the strict no-magic rule. The king and his predecessors believed that the kingdom would be protected by simply banning magic. It did work to a certain extent, but every once in a while, a magical threat would arrive to steal things or kill people, and would barely be defeated.

After some time the mysterious magic elf Sindren Vasson became an advisor to the king, and later a Supreme General. A group of magical people became the Heralds of Retha, loyal heroes to the castle. These things made the king more flexible with his anti-magic laws, and began to rethink his policies.

Once Oblivion's plan spun into motion, he absorbed everyone living in Avallon during the "Retha Mass Murder." The residents were all eventually restored near Oblivion's defeat, credit to the Heralds of Retha.

## Landscape

The castle usually has sunny days. It has very busy markets, and is normally very lively. The houses are made with wood/straw, while the large and tall walls surrounding the castle are made of large grey brick.
