1.6 Overview of Avalon itself.

Avalon is a mystical land before the age of humanity, when strange and wonderful creatures walked through the tangled forests and broad river-valleys of the earth. Great cities exist, but beyond the stone walls of humans, arcane forces of magic move through the land. Your objective is to experience life in Avalon, for only through experience and competence at your skills can you elevate your mortal spirit into the form of a deity and become one of the gods; immortal souls, overseeing the continent from their Olympian thrones. Material goods and artifacts you will doubtless encounter, and many will help you in quests and future battles, though wealth is a poor substitute for the true essence of perseverence, competence and - it is hoped - the reawakening of an ancient heroism.
