The Catacombs of Avalon


Today I visited the Catacombs of Avalon, a role play area for medieval knights & ladies, dragons, faeries and other strange creatures. I arrived wearing jeans and t-shirt but there is a dress code so couldn’t enter then. A knight called Maxwell Faulkland arrived and was very kind, he tried to give me some appropriate clothing but it wouldn’t transfer so I had to leave and try and find something to wear.

Best I could find in my inventory was a white medieval style wedding dress. Put that on and went back – managed to gain entry to the graveyard but couldn’t find any way out of it to anywhere else. A scary dragon character arrived “Avalon Dragonslayer Zaera Tauroy” who was friendly but not very helpful and then disappeared into thin air.

Next I met another “lady” of Avalon Amberle Tarber who gave me the cryptic advice “there is only the graveyard and the catacombs beneath, you have to solve the puzzles to progress”.

Eventually I found a mirror (portal) to the Castle of Avalon but while exploring found myself back in the graveyard. This was enough excitement for one day so I teleported out of there and changed back into “normal” clothes. I will definitely go back!
