| - The town's history goes back to at least the time of King Edward. When Queen Maylie died the town church bells tolled in mourning. The village likely suffered the most during the kingdom's decline under his rule. Several disasters had brought hardship to his loyal subjects. By the time Graham saved the kingdom, most of the population was gone, and town was no where in sight, and the areas near the castle had overgrown, or most of it returned to a rustic state known as the woods of Daventry. Once Graham returned the three treasures however, he forged a new kingdom from the ruins of the old, the people of Daventry grew happy and prosperous and flourished for years to come. The town was apparently rebuilt somewhere south of Daventry near the Raging River, on the Mushroom Isle and Island of the Gnome. Rumplestiltskin moved outside the town onto what had once been the Dangerous River section of the raging River Fools, which by that time had filled in (unknown if naturally or by the work of the people of Daventry), leaving not much but a dusty bed indicating where the river once ran (and perhaps that section of the river changed flow into what was to be known as the Merelee River, there is indication that portions of the river continued to flow after Rosella's quest in Tamir, and even at least up to after Alexander's marriage). When Graham was looking for a wife, many women from the kingdom including the town of Daventry attended a feast in order to catch his eye. After Graham returned from Kolyma with his new wife, condors took the news from town to town throughout Daventry. The town would grow and extend to the south to incorporate the nearby Ancient Well, and the magically shifted Door into Mountain (which had become one of the only exits out of the kingdom to its southeast). During the endless winter, Graham encountered the Seer of Daventry while passing through the village, who issued a prophetic message to him. Daventry once bustled as a thriving village under the peaceful rule of King Graham and Queen Valanice. However, when the kingdom had fallen victim to the ravages of a dreadful three-headed dragon it burned the land all around and killed many people, driving many from the town.The kingdom was in ruins after the three-headed dragon had wreaked havoc for years. Those who remained were terrified to even come out of their houses. Rumplestiltkin's home lay outside the crumbling town of Daventry on its western edge. He was wary of thieves. What population still existed, it was to the People's horror when it was learned that Princess Rosella had offered to sacrifice herself to the Three-headed Dragon, to save Daventry. The old well was filled in and debris nearby the Steps into the mountain were some of the remains of the ruins of Daventry, as well as boulders that had fallen down from the mountain. Likely magnified by the fact that it was the only path for the Dragon to come down into the kingdom and exit, what the dragon didn't destroy great earthquakes helped complete the destruction. Great walls were built throughout Daventry to contain the terrible beast so it would not maraud the entire continent. These walls succeeded, but they also magnified the damage done within the kingdom. Though later, the walls were brought down as if they never were, and the stone used to build homes for the returning population. It is unknown if all the people ever returned, or moved elsewhere. But many did return, and possibly many new people came to live there in the shadow of the castle that overlooked the town. In time, the village thrived and bustled again. When the winds from the north came, and took the castle, it was considered a bitter omen that chilled the bones of every man, woman and child in that once peaceful Kingdom of Daventry. But it was foretold by ancient warlords that Graham would succeed. He saved the castle and his family returned to Daventry, and things became peaceful agains, at least until the coming of the cataclysm. During the cataclysm, continuous darkness covered the land, vile Goblins and monstrous Spriggans roamed about unhampered, and the entire population had been turned to stone. Connor started his journey here (but from a less populated area just outside of village proper). He left behind his home in search for the sacred pieces of the Mask of Eternity. The Swamp is an area not far from Daventry, and actually supplies water to the Unicorn's pond. With all the road and exits from Connor's village blocked off, Connor had to find his way there through the Dimension of Death.
