Kingdom of Avalon
The Castle

You begin your trek up to the castle, out of the village along a well worn road and up to the stone guardian looking over it's people. Banners wave in the wind, beckoning you closer. The castle itself is in good repair and well guarded from the glimpses of movement among it's ramparts.

Crossing the drawbridge to the castle's moat, you are greeted by a pair of guardsmen, who stand stoically on either side of the castle's entrance. Before the guards stop you, you hear a voice and glimpse a shadow briskly passes you.

"He's with me." It is the familiar form of Eldarin who walks past the guards and into the castle. The elf wave at you to follow him. The guards barely acknowledge him as they are paying more attention to you as you walk past them. You note to yourself to be on your better, if not best behavior while these men are on guard. It's boring guarding a castle when there's no war and it looks as if the guards need some distraction...

You follow Eldarin inside the castle and into the keep. Eldarin eventually stops and turns to address you. "So you want to know more about the Kingdom of Avalon and it's inhabitants. Not all the Kingdom's inhabitants are allied with the Royal family. Some live just outside of the city, some in the swamps and even some live above."

He walks over to one of the windows and points. In the distance you see a sizable chunk of land floating above the trees but below the clouds. The piece of land has what looks to be a castle perched on it, although one of the four turrets is missing. The floating castle seems to be anchored to the ground by a chain, though at this distance, you estimate the chains to be of gigantic proportions.

These are the Clans, Households and Baronies that I have some knowledge of:
