Avon

Entrance and the Globe Theatre of Avon.

Description

Avon used to be the city of Partholons on the Uladh continent. However, the residents of Avon angered the Gods, so they sent a plague that killed all of them. Afterwards, the Gods moved Avon into another dimension and used the city as a place of exile for the Gods that committed crimes. Avon is known to serve as a jail for the Milletian Shakespeare, who defied the Gods. Players may only arrive here by using the Avon Feather, which is obtained during Generation 13.

The area has paper strewn throughout the grounds, split along the middle by the line where the light and dark sides of the area meet. Part of the town is submerged in water, where one may fish for various items, and a flaming sword stands in the ground to the north-east of the bigger platform. If one walks to the edges of Avon, a mysterious force will push them back.

There is also a Magic Spinning Wheel where players may turn Play Pages into Act Scripts.

Past (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Shakespeare, who had the power to see the future, warned Avon's citizens about an upcoming plague. However, no one believed him, and when Avon was struck with the plague, the citizens pleaded to Shakespeare to cure them. Shakespeare lured the Rats that carried plague into a river with music which killed them all. Unfortunately, despite his heroic act, some citizens blamed Shakespeare for bringing the plague to Avon, and threw stones at him. In an act of revenge, Shakespeare lured all the children of Avon to a different place, although his pure intention was to save them from the epidemic the Gods had brought upon the Partholons, which had angered the Gods again. After all the residents died and the Gods moved Avon to an alternate dimension, Shakespeare was imprisoned for his crimes. In addition, four extremely powerful monsters, known as the Guardians of Avon, were placed to guard the land under the God's orders.

During Shakespeare's imprisonment, he took his time changing the area, creating Paper Sheep and Paper Butterfly as well has dividing the area into both light and darkness, claiming that both forces are meant to coexist. He also spent his time writing plays, such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and The Story of Golvan, as he wanted plays full of life.

Eventually Shakespeare escaped, only to return when Hamlet was being played. This angered Morrighan, and as such, sent the Milletian and the Guardians of Avon to deal with him.
