Avalon is a land of strife, of challenge and - above all - a land of change.
It is here that entire cities have risen and fallen. The background ticking clock of evolution is ever-present as it weaves through and permeates the land. How could things possibly be otherwise in a realm forged of a Song in an emptiness that was also a formless chaos? Just as the game evolves, so too does its relationship with the void beyond...
The prophecy has long foretold: "The ancient magicks of 'Flash' and 'Java Applets' shall wane and many portals refuse to be indoctrinated in their use. But then shall Avalon adapt and in time be free of the dark arts and the dangers of Balaam and ours will be a land of milk and honey and many visitors shall come and marvel and some will stay and become wise."
