===== Avalon ===== {{ :sp:avalon.png?500 |}} ----- ^ Founded | Unknown [Hundreds of Years+] ^| ^ Region | Land of Tea/Western Land of Winds ^| ^ Leader | Inaki Tome ^| ^ Government Type | Hybrid [Constitutional Monarchy/Stratocracy]^| ^ Capital | Yamken [Formerly Potestas]^| ---- ==== Overview==== ## Avalon is a country in the western continent that controls the Land of Tea and the majority of the Western Land of Wind. It is known as an economic superpower due to its ability to trade by sea and land. It is currently controlled by the Lord of Avalon, Inaki Tome after Queen Hana Lamora IV's disappearance and Potestas' fall. Though many clans inhabit the nation, it is dominated by three historically prominent clans: The Ryoba, Tome, and Lamora clans. The nation is also well known for its extensive history and educational instructions, though much access to the land has been lost since Lord Inaki Tome's closing of the borders following a brief civil conflict in 14 V.E. Despite the increased privacy and protections in the land, it seems to remain an economic superpower due to its vast resources and secretive trade agreements overseas. ==== Historical Information ==== ## Not much is known about the beginnings of Avalon. All that is known is from the story of "Cyrus", a figure of Avalonian legend. It is said the Land of Tea was also a barren desert, like its neighbor, before Cyrus's time. Not much is known about his upbringing, though it is theorized he grew up in a lower economic class. When he was a child, legend says that he discovered he was able to control "chakra from the earth itself". Eventually, he would teach his fellow Avalonians how to utilize chakra, but they could not utilize it in the same capacity as he could. Notably, he taught the founders of the three great clans: A noblewoman, Petra Lamora; A soldier, Ahjin Ryoba; A monk, Kaladin Tome. However, things could not last as they were. The government allegedly became fearful of a potential uprising by the people so they somehow tricked Cyrus into meeting with them near what would later be called "Lake Hydra". Using unknown methods, they were able to bind Cyrus; however, before he could perish, he used his immense chakra to shatter the chains and send waves of chakra around the Land of Tea. In exchange for his life, Cyrus terraformed the barren desert into a lush, green paradise. After this, Peta Lamora took power and created a new nation: Avalon. //Knowledge remains limited.. // {{ :sp:gravesight.png?710 |}} //Grave of a forgotten hero//
