Avalhein was once a grand Ceree city located in the heart of Malleithen. Stories that did not survive the Great Division made it explicit that the city was one of wealth and prosperity. "And the streets were paved with gold. The homes stood on foundations of gold and windows were bordered with silver. Everywhere one would look, one would be hit by the beauty that was Avalhein. Buildings seemed to have been created by the Ancestor's very hands and they seemed to flow from the very ground. Colored glass cast wonderful shades and tints over the entire city." ―Codex of Ages, Stories of the Golden Age
