Avalon

''"A long time ago, when the earth was young, dragons ruled the world. The island paradise of Avalon was their capital, wherein resided the Grand Council of Dragons..." ''

Avalon is an island that once occupied a position in the Atlantic Ocean just above the equator. It is the original home of both Eudragons and Oriental Dragons, and served as the capital and center of global dragon culture for many millions of years. When mankind, with the aid of the Shadows, brought the fight to the dragons' doorstep, the Grand Council of Dragons used their ancient dragon magic to send Avalon to a separate realm, thus practically cutting the island off from the rest of the world.

Physical Geography
The island is irregularly shaped, being 75 miles across at its widest point and 47 miles at its narrowest. To the west, the Dragon's Head Peninsula (so called because long ago when the sea levels were lower it formed the shape of a dragon's head) juts out, creating a vast gulf known as Sundeath Bay. Retreating even farther back into the island is an immense inlet called Asper Sound, at the end of which lies the mouth of the Triloch River. Much of the north of the island is jungle, with large patches of grassland and swamp.

The south of the island is predominately mountainous terrain with a smattering of forest and grassland. The Smoking Crags to the lie to the east and the Ridgeback Hills to the west, separated only by a thin band of woodland and the mighty Nathair River. Both of these ranges are telltale remnants of the island's tumultuous birth at the hands of violent geological processes.

Formation and Pre-Meteor Shower Times
The island known as Avalon was created in the Early Triassic period by volcanic activity. Within a few thousand years, a fledgling ecosystem had started on the island, comprising mainly of various coastal plants, seaborne pterosaurs, and small vertebrates that had drifted ashore. By the Middle Jurassic, the ecosystem was thriving with many new species of pterosaurs, small dinosaurs, reptiles, small mammals, and more, making the island an vibrant place.

The Meteor Shower
In the Late Jurassic, a small cluster of unusual asteroids were caught by Earth's gravity and pulled into the atmosphere, raining down on the island of Avalon. The meteors emitted something that altered the island; fauna, flora, and the very land itself.
