24.2 Life in Avalon on 1st Leaflost 852.

"Parrius is the richest individual economy, having been built up by the diligence of Marie, Procyon and Calladan (all prominent Enchanters). The old guard have all but vanished now, from Parrius and the city has assumed a peaceful, prosperous guise. Its current Barony consists of Conteck of the Animists, Calladan of the Enchanters, Aragorn of the Bards, and Chopper of the Enchanters. Parrius boasts three guilds - the Enchanters, the Astrologers and locally the Brigands. The Enchanters are led by Random, the Necromancers by Astiroth de Sade, and the Brigands by Charlemagne the Huntsman."

"Mercinae is the second wealthiest economy to Parrius, and even now, decades after his Ascension to immortality, the city's commodity stores show the fruits of Galahad's labour. They measure twice that of Parrius and Thakria. The current Barony is strong and active - they are led by Isildur, the Swift and Eshkadeth, the Dark Savant and are ably supported by Mnestheus and Lugonn of the Animists Guild and Markus of the Woods. Mercinae's guilds are the Minstrels (led by Isildur), the Bards (led by Aragorn),the Knights (led by Sir Ammon), the Mages (led by Eshkadeth), the Rangers (led by Markus) and the Alchemists (who remain leaderless)."

"Thakria is an enigmatic city, based on ideals of personal liberty and freedom of expression. They are often accused of power-mongering and of breeding self-centredness. The city is led, undisputedly by Blodwyn the Seer. Beneath her are Macros, the Necromancer, Belit, the Sorceress, and Sophacles, the Loremaster. Thakria's guilds are the Sorcerers (led by Shagrat), the Loremasters (led by Foxus), the Cavaliers (led by Anastasia the Golden) and the Seers (led by Blodwyn)."

"Avalon boasts a number of other prominent individuals at this time in its history. Perhaps the most potent is Zaphod - former Guildmaster of the Alchemists Guild. Foxus is high priest to Pericles, god of the sky. The Diabolus has Azrael the Black as his high priest, while Aldaron, the god of life has chosen Fiorella, guildmistress of the Animists. Maedhros Allendil, the Hunter has Markus as leader of his order, Mephisto has chosen Blodwyn, and Castigere has selected Eshkadeth to lead his Order. Wraith allows Zollrender, the Master Thief to lead his flock."
