Avalon's first-born were the mortals first to enter the land. Avalon's opening to entrants from the outside world began in the year 800, or in November 1989. It was opened for a period of two months, until January 1990, during which time it established itself and enticed the first-born mortals into the realm. Zaphod was the first mortal ever to enter the new land of Avalon. He took up a combatative role early on, being also the first members of the Warriors Guild (which became later the Knights of Mercinae).
The most successful of the early mortals was Alodar, a pacifist and questor, who was the first player to attain the illustrious rank of Avalonian. Unfortunately for Alodar, he showed disrespect to the god of time on one occasion and met an untimely and permanent death. Of the first-born, also worth note are Gniblik the Entrepreneur, responsible for the redevelopment of the houses to the east of Beggars Alley, renowned for purchasing properties, and selling them at profits when the gold piece had just been introduced to Avalon.
