Avalon is full of monsters, but not all of them came from the same place.

In this episode of Under the Lamplight, Chris and Brett dig into the history of monsters in the Streets of Avalon setting. We talk about the refugees and creatures that fled dying worlds, the arrival of the Lamplighters, the horrors that followed in their wake, and how the Soul War reshaped the world forever.

We also get into the origins of bargemen, demons, devils, undead, fey, goblins, dragons, giants, and some of the stranger creatures that have found a home in and around Avalon.

More importantly, we look at what all of that history means for the people living inside the city walls. Avalon may be the last great bastion of civilization, but it is also a place filled with old monsters, hidden powers, desperate people, and the constant feeling that everything outside the lamplight is closing in.
