Avalon Rune Library
The southern shore of the Avalon Peninsula is home to her famous
Rune Library, located just south of the Arena. Origianlly owned and operated
by Heavy Metal Mac, the Rune Library began as a fully functional Large Smithy.
People came from far and wide to use the facilities, and to enjoy the free repairs
offered by such notables citizens of Baja as Ash and Angelica (who later became
Avalon’s Prime Minister). Read more
Hazard, current custodian of the building, describes the Rune
Library:
The Avalon Rune Library is a public facility owned by the
community of Avalon yet has been upkept by townsperson Hazard throughout most
of its 2-year run. The classic forge style facility that houses the Rune Library
was originally intended to be a building that trained new shard citizens in
various ways of life, yet found a new and improved purpose shortly thereafter
that centered around travel.
Named after the first wave of Rune Archives that swept across
various shards, the Avalon Rune “Library”' slowly grew from a scattering
of nondescript town runes strewn across the back floor, to its present state
as one of the most useful and well traveled buildings across the shard of
Baja. Shard “Libraries” across the realm were studied by the proprietor
in its earliest days in order to find the best format for security and display,
as vandalism was quite common.
The Avalon Rune Library contains a vast array of runes, ranging
from towns, player communities, shrines, islands, almost every dungeon level,
wedding areas, bank roofs, and much, much more. Countless visitors have tread
through its doors, and various events have been held inside over the years including
a séance, a wake of a Magistrate, as well as numerous gatherings of various
groups of Baja citizens.
Avalon: City of Destiny is a player-city, located on Ultima Online’s Baja Shard.
