A time of strength against evil.
The adventure begins when Owen, a travelling swordsman, rescues a woman from some Druids. He offers to help track down her lover who has been enslaved by the evil Morgana. They set off on their quest, accompanied by Keiran, a cowardly thief.

Set in the world of King Arthur and Merlin, AVALON is wildly ambitious and committed to its premise. Despite the clear budgetary limitations, it manages to transcend into something genuinely absorbing, many lesser parts transmuted into a greater whole through sheer passion. Featuring home-brew matte paintings, stop motion animation, and a slew of other ingenious effects, AVALON is a ride well worth taking for any fantasy fan.
