Castle Camelot, also known as Castle Avalon,[1] is the seat of power of the regent of Avalon. At present, King Jamie Braddock rules over the realm from Castle Camelot.
History
Following the fall of King Arthur’s kingdom in the Earth realm, Camelot was relocated to Otherworld by the wizard Merlyn, thus becoming the seat of power of Avalon. Castle Camelot originally lay on the edge of the Great Rift, which led down into the Netherworld.[2] Castle Camelot balanced precariously on the edge of the bottomless gulf, held only by the sorcery of Merlyn as only a slender bridge prevented the Castle and its inhabitants from crashing into the depths of the nether regions far below.[2] The people of Camelot dwelt in the courtyards leading into Castle Camelot while the kingdom was immediately surrounded by Hildebrandt Wood.[3]
When the Nethergod Necromon rallied his forces to destroy Camelot, the valiant Gafael guarded the Castle's bridge and prevented the goblin Gog from entering Camelot by hurling himself full-length at the latter. Both plunged into the unfathomable depths of the limitless abyss.[4]
As the war between the evil hordes of Necromon and the forces of Camelot progressed, the bridge supporting the Castle weakened even further as Merlyn's strength was drained from him.[5] At this point, Necromon and his generals ascended from the depths of the Great Rift to lead the assault personally.[6] When Necromon was fatally wounded by the Black Knight and King Arthur, he ripped the Castle's portcullis free and hurled it to smash the bridge which secured Camelot to Otherworld. Ultimately, Necromon and Castle Camelot both plunged into the Great Rift.[7] The Court of Camelot was relocated to Vortigen's Castle,[7] and the areas surrounding the Great Rift remained unoccupied for years to come.
