What is Avalon?
Situated on a fertile and well-fortified island, Avalon is a prosperous city-state that trades with every other nation on Cray via it's impressive ports. While technically part of the United Sanctuary, it possesses a fair amount of autonomy thanks to a series of treaties and their own martial prowess. They have a long history of accepting refugees of all stripes, resettling them in their frontier to form new lives. They also have a long history of isolationism, though that is becoming less common thanks to the permanent tumult of recent events. It is ruled by the Council of Equals, who vote in called colloquies to determine policy and action.
Who is Uther?
The current lord of Avalon, coming from a long line of warrior poets, being 39th in the House of Pendragon. Compassionate and an able administrator, he is beloved by his people and feared by his enemies. He has committed himself not only to continuing Avalon's policies of resettling refugees, but gradually ending the city-state's long tradition of isolationism. He has volunteered his hardened corps of warriors to many causes in the United Sanctuary, endearing himself to the higher nobility. He wields his house's relic, Excalibur, in battle, a sword famed for being able to cut through anything in the hands of a worthy wielder.
Who are the Busters?
One of the worst kept secrets of Cray is the small army of arms dealers that have their hands in Nova Grappler contests. The combat sport often sees manufacturers test new weaponry in the arena, which given the unregulated format of the fights, is technically allowed. Recently, an unknown arms manufacturer have entered a new series of battlebots with unorthodox weapons and no sense of self preservation into the games as an informal trial. These Busters have quickly become fan favorites giving their colorful weapons and brutal beatdown style of play. Word is some even moonlight as mercenaries to find more challenging fights.
Who is Andromedus?
The magnum opus of the Buster line of battlebots, this fearless war machine is capable of coordinating entire squads with a special headset. His arrival in most matches signals the end of the enemy team thanks to his ruthless and highly unorthodox tactics. As such, he has become a quick sensation on the Nova Grappler circuit. Always looking for a new challenge, he sometimes takes a handful of his comrades across Cray to pick fights with any willing party.
