Layout
Avatarl was located at the southwestern tip of the southern continent. It was deep within the Azure Marsh, which was perpetual shrouded in a faint blue mist, and covered with deep swamps.

Ideology
Avatarl had maintained a state of imposed self-isolation from the rest of the world. They did not engage in disputes with other nations unless attacked first, and also did not establish diplomatic relations with them due to having become self-sufficient in their existence. As a result of their independence, All diid not openly worship any of Tortus' gods. This, however, had them labeled as enemies by all religious bodies that acted on their god's behalf, such as the Holy Church.

History
During the age of the Liberators, Avatarl was known as Dastia (ダスティア). It had maintained its seclusion from the rest of the world, but individual vampires had been abducted by the demons at the behest of their ruler Rasul Alva Igdol. Hs had their corpses transformed into mysterious chimeras that he planed to use as a means to invade Dastia, as well as the rest of the world. This plan was eventually thwarted thanks to the Liberators.

At some point in history, Dastia was renamed "Avatarl".

During its final years, Avatarl had existed during a time of turmoil throughout the world. Wars were constantly breaking out over various reasons, including religion, economics, resources, and even national status. As a result, many nations experienced a constant cycle of founding, conflict, and colaspe. Avatarl had maintained its status as a closed nation during that time, and cut off all diplomatic ties with other kingdoms. Despite its inaction, many other nations had made repeated attempts to invade it due to the vampires reputation as the most powerful race in existence, as well as the desire of many people to marry its magically gifted queen Aletia Galdea Vesperitio Avatarl. Despite their best efforts, not one nation had managed to conquer the vampire kingdom. It addition to enduring reported invasion efforts, Avatarl was also experiencing political turmoil due to increasing fear the the queen's prime minister and uncle Dienleed Galdea Vesperitio Avatarl was secretly plotting to overthrow her. One day, Queen Aletia met with representatives of the Holy Church who claimed that they wished to award her the title of "Oracle" and help establish peace with the rest of the world. During the meeting, however, she was betrayed by her uncle and his retainers. They killed all of the attendants, with the exception of Aletia, and Dienleed had proclaimed himself as the new king. He then imprisoned his niece deep within the Great Orcus Labyrinth.

Avatarl would fall afterwords after going to war with the followers of humanity's god Ehit, which ended up with the near-extinction of the entire vampire race, and Dienleed becoming possessed by Ehit's servile god Alva and becoming the ruler of the demons.

Trivia

 * Avatarl is based on the word "Avatar", which is a mortal possessed by a supernatural being. This may be a reference to both Yue and Dienleed acting as vessels for Tortus' gods Ehit and Alva respectively.
