The island beneath the mist — old gods, cursed bloodlines, the Otherworld, and the lore that first gave Avalon its name.
The name Avalon comes from the Celtic “isle of apples” — Ynys Afallon in Welsh, the island at the edge of the known world where the dying king was carried and where time does not move as it does for the living. Portal Avalon's mythological roots run directly through this tradition: the Otherworld seeping through standing stones, the Tuatha Dé Danann bargaining at crossroads, the Morrigan watching from the treeline, the Sidsídhe waiting under the hill. These stories inhabit a world where the old powers have not withdrawn — they have only learned patience.
The Celtic mythology tag collects Avalon's stories that draw most directly on this inheritance: tales with the texture of genuine folklore, where the supernatural does not announce itself but accumulates, where the land itself has memory, and where the price of any gift from the Other Side is always quietly catastrophic. Whether you arrive through the Mystical Sanctum or the Labyrinth of Minds, the same fog waits at the edge of the story.
