However, 100 years ago, the last Nherianthir king died, and there were no heirs left.  Avalon had been left a wasteland by three centuries of war by then.So Avalon is now a wild, lawless wasteland, with only a few poclets of civilization left (High Moor Hold, Glastonbury Abbey, a few scattered towns and one or two fiefs, and Caer Mellot*).If you want a good idea of Avalon's geography, look up a map of Glastonbury village, and the surrounding area.The Tor (Glastonbury Tor), elevation about 600 feet, is the center of Avalon.  On top of the Tor, there is an Abbey established by Joseph of Arimathea when he came to England.To the north, there is the Chalice Well, where the Holy Grail (the Sangreal) and the Lady of the Lake dwell.  To the south of the Tor is Wearyall Hill, slightly smaller than Glastonbury Tor and on the top of Wearyall Hill is the Holy Thorn, a thorn bush that sprang up when Joseph of Arimathea planted his staff in the ground.  This wonderous plant only blooms on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, no other time in the year, and is held to be sacred by both Druid and Christian.To the southwest of Wearyall Hill is an area known as Allamid.  This area, about 50 miles by 55 miles, is a desert, brought about when all the rivers and streams watering it were diverted, turning it into a waterless, dusty plain.  It is inhabited by the Tribes of Allamid, a group of Celts famous for their horsemanship and their strictly matriarchal society.A long, rocky ridgeline extends North-east of the Tor.  This ridgeline is known as the Pillars of the Sky.  It terminates in a rocky, bleak coastline known as the Icy Wastes, for the cold winds that blow their.The Elfinwoods, the primeval forests where the Fey (highly modified Elves) dwell cover all of Avalon from the East slope of the Tor to the coast.If you want any more info, just ask.  And does anyone know how I would attach a computer generated map of Avalon to a post?*"Caer Mellot," if you run the words together, becomes Camelot (Caer Mellot=Caermellot=Carmelot=Camelot).  Clever, isn't it? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
