Avaldis

Avaldis is a fictional kingdom featured in the Dragonlance novel series, specifically within the War of the Lance era. Located in the northern reaches of the continent of Ansalon, it is a realm known for its harsh climate and hardy inhabitants. The capital city of Avaldis is also named Avaldis, often depicted as a formidable fortress built to withstand the biting winds and potential invasions from neighboring lands. The people of Avaldis are typically portrayed as stoic and self-reliant, accustomed to a life of hardship and constant vigilance.

The kingdom's history is often intertwined with its strategic position, making it a buffer against northern threats and a player in regional conflicts. Avaldis has a strong military tradition, with its soldiers renowned for their resilience and fighting prowess. While not as prominent as some of the larger nations in Krynn, Avaldis plays a significant role in various storylines, particularly those involving northern campaigns or alliances against the forces of evil. Its geographical isolation has also contributed to a unique culture and a degree of independence from the more central powers of the continent. The kingdom is often associated with the Knights of Solamnia, who sometimes find allies or adversaries within its borders.
