A region spanning much of western Erathia. Featured in the Hack and Slash campaign in The Shadow of Death.

Story[edit | edit source]

The southern parts of Avauntnell are quite rocky, and has been home to many barbarian tribes over the centuries, due to how close this area is to Krewlod. The Erathians tried to build settlements here, but the harsh environment and barbarian raids made this difficult. The grasslands and forests further north attracted more settlers, and the Erathian militia had a presence here, including an order known as the Knights of the Blade.

The Ferris Swamp, located in the northern parts of of Avauntnell, is controlled by a small group of necromancer cultists known as the Ebon Hand. The Erathians decided that since they didn't cause many problems, it wasn't worth the time and expense to send their armies to this remote swamp region and deal with them.

Another region in northern Avauntntell is home to the Hand of Death, a necromancer cult that bribed the local Erathian militia to leave them alone. The main Erathian leadership were unaware that their militia had been bribed, so the necromancers were left in peace.

Some time before the Restoration Wars, Sandro hired Crag Hack to retrieve some magical artifacts from Avauntnell. The Enrothian hero ended up in combat against the barbarians, the Knights of the Blade, the Ebon Hand, and the Hand of Death, but still managed to bring all the items back to his employer.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The exact borders of Avauntnell are not specified, but the Hack and Slash campaign map establishes that it stretches throughout most of western Erathia. For the Horn of the AbyssHorn of the Abyss campaign map of Antagarich, the name "Avauntnell" broadly denotes some of the region's central and northern parts. Much of Avauntntell also falls under this map's "Griffin Cliff and Battlestead" and "Erathia Plains" regions, the latter also bordering Avauntnell along the Teal River in this rendition.
  • Farming Towns takes place in or near northern Avauntnell.
  • Falor and Terwen takes place in or near southern Avauntnell.
