Avonstone

Avonstone is a chain with a lot of natural rock formations and caves. Some of the most unique stones and fossils can be found on the chain on Avonstone. Historians say these rocks were formed by the formation of two underwater volcanoes, and the fossils soon resurfaced. These fossils are of ancient underwater creatures, things like krackens and megalodons. A lot of these rocks are also very smooth and shiny, and often used in jewelry. This particular chain is a favorite for tourists as well, because many of the fossils have been set up in museums and glass displays. There are a small amount of people who actually live in Avonstone and most of them run museums or go searching for things to set up in museums. The chain is extremely small, there are only 12 islands, and most of the islands have large sites used to extract these fossils and stones.

History

Avonstone was discovered by an explorer named Ardentooth. When Ardentooth discovered an island, he found a kracken fossil on the coast of the island, and turned it on to many geologists, who went to the chain and found about the various underground volcanoes resurfacing rocks and fossils. Soon people began realizing the marketing potential of the fossils and rocks in the islands, and it had become populated and soon a society was made on Avonstone made of people who started operating museums and jewelers.

Avonstone is a very diverse island, and there is a somewhat small population, so there is no determined most common race. Humans, dwarves, half-orcs, and half-elves are a lot of races commonly seen.
