There are dozens of human villages dotted around the Avalonian continent and many more ruled by the non-human races. Villages tend to be small and insular communities, trading in particular goods and usually allied to one or more of the major cities. Eastern Avalon boasts more villages than the wildlands of the west. Refer to the Map of Avalon to locate these villages. For details of the Sphere of Influence values for each village, refer to the SOI table.

| Name | Description | Quests |
|---|---|---|
| Archangel | The village of Archangel is the sanctuary of the god of time, where his temple exists. It is difficult to find, nestled in north central Avalon, up in the mountains. The caves behind the village of Archangel are said to hold great secrets though, and the legendary civilisation from which Gant of the Mountains heralded in the Divine War. The temple of time, though a long pilgrimage, is a total sanctuary from both Gods and mortals alike. | |
| Astrea's Delta | Information on Astrea's Delta was lost in a recent fire. | |
| Eastpoint | Eastpoint is a small peacefull town, fishing being about the most energetic activity the locals get up to. It is, supposedly, a place to rest and relax. | |
| Eleusis | Eleusis was once a vibrant river town. It underwent a brief resurgence under the leadership of Arback, Aragorn and Nebuchadnezzar, but soon fell back to disuse as it fell foul to the machinations of the Gods and the renewed assaults of the goblin town. | |
| Eleuthera | There is no public information on Eleuthera, save that it is a small village in the northeastern lowlands. | |
| Greeny's Edge | The village of Greeny's Edge is the farthest east of the Northern Greenwood towns. It is made up of pleasant dwellings and fertile lands under the guidance of its formidable elders. Greeny's Edge is an insular community but is renowned for its welcoming outlook. | |

| Kenkria | Information on Kenkria's Monastery was lost in a recent fire. | |
| Knightswood | Knightswood is a small trading village situated just off the highway that runs between the great cities of Parrius and Mercinae. Build near the shores of lake Thrullmere and surrounded by forestland it is an ideal place for the weary traveller to take the ir ease and have some refreshment in the small, friendly, village inn. There is also a well provisioned shop for travellers to restock their supplies. | |
| Krempton | Krempton is a small and fairly poor village on the eastern shore of Lake Thrullmere. Most of its trade comes from a well-used but ill maintained highway to Parrius' northwestern gate. Worthy of note, however, is one erstwhile citizen of Krempton - the mad seer Mallibett, giver of riddles and student of prescience. | |
| Kristanisti | Nestled between the Rivers Ogg and Shamunisti in the foothills of the northern mountains, Kristanisti is a peaceful farming village. Her chief exports are wheat and the famous Kristanisti papyrus, the finest in all Avalon. | |

| Oakwood's End | Oakwood's End is, not surprisingly, at the northern edge of the Greenwood forest. It is a town of log cabins and rustic surroundings. The bakers of Oakwood's End are without equal anywhere in Avalon. The town holds true to an ancient cult of nature worship, and they value the god of life above all others. | |

| Pilgrim's Rest | There is little information about Pilgrim's Rest, save that it is home to the monastery of a clan known as the Brown Monks. | |
| Snowfoot | Snowfoot is a small village to the east of Thakria, along the northern Greenwood forest. For most of the year its ground is covered in snow, wrought by an ancient dark curse against the poor village. Phaestus, the elder of Snowfoot has long resigned himself to living with his icy fate, but sometimes, it is said, that an eager young traveller may awaken him from his slumber and persuade him to act to break the curse. Pangyron, the Star-Sorcerer is at the heart of the curse and Phaestus can do nothing on his own to reverse it. Beneath the snow of Snowfoot is the legendary village well, rumoured to be possessed by a nymph of great power and insight. | |
