Welcome to the world of the fantasy series New Avalon, a storyverse full of waerbeasts, elves, and other mystical beings. A place where people revere the old gods, especially Gaia, Mother Nature.
Above, you will find the names of various places in New Avalon you can visit:
To start you out on your journey, we offer this introduction:
The isle of New Avalon. Located in Lake Michigan, off the shore of Chicago, to the mundane world it seems little more than a hoity-toity learning institution with it's own shops, restaurants, and living area. To the religious fanatics and the paranoid, it's a place of weirdos, suspected of housing either hippies or satanists, depending on whom you talk to. But in reality, it's the hub of a magical society, one whose members include elves, faeries, brownies, and various waerebeasts. It's a haven for the mythological, and a doorway to the Otherworld. The term "New Avalon" refers not just to the island, but to a movement to restore the magical creatures to the prime material plane. The people await the coming of the Brightwing, the soul meant to lead them out of the shadows and into the world of man. But the Brightwing has enemies ...
How would you feel if you woke up one morning, wet and cold on a strange shore, with no memory of who you are or how you got there? And what if the island you landed on wasn't some deserted refuge of Robinson Crusoe, but a supposed utopia, whose inhabitants believed you to be the reincarnation of a long-dead heroine called the Brightwing?
In New Avalon, the utopia in question is a place of magical beings: waerfolk, faeries, and elves. Their lifestyle is a pagan-based one, honoring Mother Earth and the Lord of the Green. Yet as ideal as the New Avalonians think they have made their home, their fondest wish is to able to roam freely through the world as they once did, before humans drove them into hiding and virtually banished all magic. They are depending on a lost girl, whom they name Selina, to help them bring the magic back.
But there is someone who doesn't want Selina's help. Someone with a centuries-long grudge against the Brightwing. Someone with as much magic as any of the Avalonians, and followers just as powerful: Lachesis, the spidren. And Selina is extremely arachnophobic; how will she face the giant waer-spider? Will she be the hero others believed her to be? Or will she run?
Well, we hope that helped you to get your bearings. Enjoy your visit!
