v. setting

AVALON

this is the main setting of the site and the location of the academy. avalon academy welcomes those from all realms into its gates, as its quest is to bring those of diverse backgrounds together into a safe learning environment. it is a world similar to our modern one, though they have little connection. magic is no secret in avalon and is used in everyday life. many of avalon's residents have magical heritage, being witches and wizards, though in recent days, with the truce between lands in place, it isn't rare to find those of other races walking the streets.

FANTASIA & MYSTERE

home to legendary places like the enchanted forest and elven havens, fantasia bears a medieval-esque fantasy setting. there is no technology here and people still use horses and their own feet to travel. humans exist, dwelling in small villages, though their numbers are rather scant. mystere is the southern part of fantasia that remains shrouded in shadow like the dark side of the moon. it's where creatures like werewolves and vampires originate. drows, the dark kin of the elves, also come from this part of the land.

ABOVE & BELOW

the heavens and underworld. angels are created in the heavens, but sometimes these pure souls are sent down to earth with the job of 'guardian' to help guide the mortals. others may simply venture down out of curiosity. the underworld, on the other hand, is where demons are spawned. every so often, one may escape and wreak havoc on the world in between. while many are exterminated as vermin, avalon academy has been known for trying to help some of the less destructive beasts and set them on a more righteous path.

THE MODERN WORLD

the modern world is the same as the one you and i know. this is where majority of the humans come from. when humans are discovered to have gifts, a messenger is sent to retrieve them under the hoax that they will be attending a normal academy like any other, given a false location before they are whisked away through a portal. some might see this as kidnapping, but it's all for a good cause. the only humans invited to live at the academy are special, magically gifted, having some sort of unusual ability that makes them different. after completing year six, students may make their new home in one of avalon's cities or return to the modern world. if they choose to return, it is forbidden to speak of their time at the academy. doing so will result in the wiping of the memories of all those involved in order to protect avalon. the modern world is seen as primitive, not yet ready to know of magic's existence.

QUICK BACKSTORY

once upon a time, mortals and magic folk lived together in peace. the great wars separated them, and the humans were banished to the realm of earth, having long forgotten their magical heritage, while those with abilities remained in avalon. over the years, as humans began rediscovering their gifts, those who were ready were brought to the academy to help them navigate their powers. avalon academy's goal is to bring together unordinary folk from all the realms, both magical and mundane, and unite what once was. call it rehabilitation, if you will.
