Avalon - The County of Somerset
The county of Somerset lies in the English West Country¸ a green and pleasant land steeped in millennia of history¸ folklore¸ and superstition¸ often overlooked as a rural backwater good for nothing but strong cider and tall tales. Yet something powerful and ancient is stirring in the county's hills and valleys¸ and mysterious lights flicker by night on the slopes of Glastonbury Tor¸ rising like a beacon from the marshes of the Somerset Levels. Old even before the heavy tread of Roman sandals pushed back the darkness¸ strange blood has flowed through the families of Somerset since the thawing of the last ice sheets. Legend even says King Arthur is buried here¸ sleeping on the lost isle of Avalon¸ to rise again in the hour of the land's greatest need. But what else lies out there¸ across - or beneath - those lonely desolate waters?
