Avalon City

Description

Avalon City was the Federated Suns capital city, located on the primary New Avalon continent of Albion, north of the planet's equator and a few kilometers east of the Grand Avalon Mountains, on a natural island in the convergence region of the Albion, Cris, and Thames rivers. The environment surrounding the city is an assortment of towns and villages, forests, mountains (with Mount Davion to the immediate east), and prairies.

The city of Barrington lies to the northwest. The city's DropPort lies south, across the Cris River. The New Avalon Institute of Science lies beyond that.

History

Avalon City was first developed as a theme park with a medieval motif, which inspired the use of that imagery by the Davion family as a means to inspire confidence in the realm.

Jihad

The three major battles, occupation by the Word of Blake, and final devastation of a vengeful retreat during the Jihad left the municipality devastated.

Notes

• On page 60 of Jihad: Final Reckoning, the city is identified as "New Avalon City". This is probably an editorial mistake, but it cannot be completely discounted until officially confirmed, as it is mentioned in the context of an official dedication that occurred following the rebuilding post-Jihad.
