Avalon

An overview of Avalon.

Website Description

“	Once upon a time, the ancient Alban Knights reached Avalon after the divine prophecy. They claimed the place as Aton Cimeni's sanctuary and cleansed the land. Afterward, they built a monastery and temples to worship Aton Cimeni. The massive flow of Divine Light cumulated during the purification and uplifted all of Avalon, and a part of the sanctuary was lifted to the sky. As Avalon was sealed, time was stopped for every creature in the region. The town that once flourished was no more. However, the Prophets' infiltration of Avalon triggered the flow of time again. The Unholy Light of the Prophets gradually corrupted the Divine Light of the sanctuary.	„

Description and Geography

Map of Avalon.

“	The forgotten sanctuary of the ancient Alban Knights.	„

“	The radiance of the promised land never dimmed, not even at night, and the resplendent colors were unlike any of the outside world. We could, if we desired, walk out of the forest at any moment, lean against the root of life itself, breathe deeply, and feel tangible proof of God's blessings and promises...	„
—Llywelyn

Avalon was the sacred land of the Alban Knights on Belvast Island, a holy sanctuary of Aton Cimeni and said to the burial place of the knight's founder, The Elder. However, the heretics that defied Aton Cimeni were relentless in breaching the holy sanctuary, forcing the Alban Knights to seal Avalon. The entire area is suffused with Holy Light, to the point the average Alban Knight trainee cannot bear the energy in its purest forms, most prominent near the Berg Mesa.

The Avalon Raids for the Sylvan Dragon and Mokkurkalfi occur here. There are also non-hostile unicorns that can be mounted on.

All living beings have been affected by the Divine Light in the area, and tall, white crystals encroached on both the land and wildlife.

Landmarks

• The Outskirts of Avalon, the final ground where the Knights defended against the heretic interlopers. This is also where the ancient Alban Knights lay at rest for eternity.
• Yggdrasil, the tree of life, which still harnesses mysterious Divine Light. It has a purifying power that cleanses the corrupted Divine Light. It can maintain its original appearance from the days of ancient Avalon, thanks to this power. This sacred tree of life is where the Sylvan Dragon resides.
• The Abandoned Camp, a campsite where the ancient Alban Knights used to train is now full of creatures mutated by the corrupted Divine Light. Around these grounds are where the Mokkurkalfi appears.
• The Forgotten Shore, which used to be full of activities as it was where the sanctuary received supplies. Since the waterway is blocked from the uplift and the sanctuary is sealed, the shore is forgotten by everyone.
• The City Ruins, where the ancient Alban Knights used to reside. Now, only the traces and the spirits with forgotten memories remain. Here is where the soulbound Kaelic resides, providing his Erg services.
• The Berg Mesa, a steep cliff that used to serve as the holy gate that leads to the sanctum. When the sanctuary was sealed, the cliff became isolated as well. To access it, players will need to ride the unicorns just north of the City Ruins.
• The High Temple, where at its center rests the Sanctum. This beautiful temple was once full with the prayer and faith for Aton Cimeni, but now it is filled with silence as Avalon is sealed.

History

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Generation 21: Finale

Avalon was left sealed for a very long time. In the present day, the Prophets have broken through the seal, corrupting the lands with their unholy power, with the creatures and guardians being unable to discern from friend or foe and attack anyone on sight. The unholy light drove many creatures that had survived inside wild, even its guardians; Mokkurkalfi, Archelon, Tagar, Creag and the Sylvan Dragon.

The traps left behind the the Alban Knights of old were also still active, encasing interlopers in crystals and plaguing the entrapped with repeating visions of their worst nightmares.

The Knights' Epitaph served as the graveyard for the Alban Knights of old. However, it also came to be the birthplace of the Prophets' last Apostle: Hasidim.

• Along with the Fantastic Melody update, this track received lyrics. Captioned in english by the NA Youtube channel, their translation go as follow:

The unnamed traveler above the cliff covered in fog...
Climbs even higher, on that steep place
The world, stared down, has nothing to say...
Below the circle of full moon, the moonlight fills up...
This path that I've been waiting for...

I'm filling it up with faith, worth a fortune, and courage, never fading
Just like that sun, breaking the darkness,
I wish to make it stand each day...
I wish this long desired hope comes true...

The brightening shadow above the cliff,
covered in a rain of stars...
Light smears on the emaciated tree...
Returns to the glorious past...

On land painted in darkness,
the scar is deep...
This
path that I must go...

I'm filling it up with faith,
worth a fortune, and courage, never fading
Just like that sun, breaking the darkness,
I wish to make it stand each day...
I wish this long desired hope comes true...

Ahh more brightly,
extremely brilliantly!
The weight
of eternity
enclosed in this blink of a moment

Salvation indwells
in this unbending will and solid heart
Just like those wildflowers who possess heaven itself within themselves
I wish to dream big...

I wish to have faith in all the decisions...
