The City of Mercinae is circumscribed by the ancient forests of the south central portion of Avalon. Surrounded by the forests, sea and rugged mountains, Mercinae has been a harbour for those who combat the forces of darkness. Considered to be the city of Light, the role of Mercinae has changed considerably through the passing of years.

Citizens of Mercinae have the common belief in the sanctity of Truth and the ever daunting task of serving Justice upon those who would seek to harm the weak or innocent. A constant struggle for any citizen of this city is to do what is right without becoming the very enemy they wish to rid this world of.

Mercinae's main marketplace is named Cassiandora Square, in honour of its captured queen. Nearby is Park Elienna, temple of Aldaron, the god of life- a welcome area of natural beauty in the centre of the bustling cityport. Other Mercinae landmarks include the gambling halls, the council tower on Tooth Island, the seafront temple of the god of the sea, and the docklands on the east bank.
