New Avalon
New Avalon: Crown of the Dawn Realm
Rising from the sun-drenched plains of the Federated Suns, New Avalon is a capital city steeped in knightly tradition, enlightened scholarship, and the sacred duty of leadership. Surrounded by rolling green hills and crystalline rivers, the city gleams like a jewel upon the land—a beacon of civilization amidst the storms of the Succession Wars.
High stone walls, clad in luminous runes and sunsteel filigree, encircle the city like a great shield. Guard towers blaze with everburning flame, symbolizing eternal vigilance and honor. At each of the four great gates stand statues of Davion heroes, swords raised skyward, casting long shadows as the sun sets over the realm they swore to defend. At the city’s heart stands Sunspire Keep, the ancestral seat of House Davion. A palace-fortress of alabaster and gold-veined marble, its great central tower pierces the clouds, crowned with an enchanted brazier whose flame can be seen for leagues. Within, royal courts echo with debate and diplomacy, while war rooms map out the kingdom’s strategy with precision and gravity. This is where kings and queens kneel to take their oath—not only to rule, but to serve.
The city is divided into noble circles that radiate from the keep like sunrays:
The Knight’s Ring, home to the high orders of chivalry, is lined with training fields, armories, and temples to the Flame Eternal. Here, warrior-priests and paladins train under banners embroidered with gold thread and family crests.
The Artisan’s Quarter hums with honest labor and craft. Blacksmiths forge sunsteel blades and enchanted armor. Banners of every guild fly from balconies, while bardic colleges resound with tales of past valor.
The Golden Commons, a wide, tree-lined district of dignified homes and open plazas, hosts schools, libraries, and great amphitheaters where public discourse, education, and knightly tales flourish side by side.
Throughout the city, fountains shaped like gryphons and lions pour water into enchanted basins, and roads are paved in smooth stone cut with radiant sigils to guide travelers by sunlight or starlight. Magic here is practical, restrained, and reverent—used not for spectacle, but to protect and uplift. Every citizen of New Avalon, from page to peer, grows up steeped in the ideals of service and duty. Public murals and mosaics depict the glories and trials of the Suns’ history—not as propaganda, but as a moral compass. The people wear their loyalty like armor, proud to be part of something greater than themselves.
Even in war, New Avalon remains unbowed. Its walls have withstood sieges both martial and magical. Its light has never dimmed. In the hearts of its people—and in the eyes of its enemies—it is more than a city. It is a symbol. New Avalon is not just the capital of a realm. It is the soul of the Federated Suns—noble, radiant, and unbreakable. A place where every sunrise is a promise that the light will always return.
