Now freed from her imprisonment, Merga seeks vengeance upon the Avalicians and sets out to resurrect the ancient superweapon, Bakunawa, as part of her goal to "Purify the World". As a result of her warmongering, she was sealed in a crystal prison locked by the Kingdom Stone's power, and hidden deep in the oceans off the coast of the island chain, Parusa. Over 100 years ago, during Avalice's oldest and deadliest war, a water dragon named Merga was bioengineered to be a perfect warrior, making her ruthless and power-hungry as she fought in said war. As for the people of Shuigang, they continue to recover from the scars of war after their ruler, King Dail, was used as a pawn of war following his Father's death at the hands of Brevon.ĭespite the 3 years of peace on Avalice, the remnants of Brevon's Army continues to attack the three kingdoms, and the destruction of the Kingdom Stone's physical form has resulted in the awakening of an ancient evil from the distant past. The people of a more advanced Shang Mu not only rejoice with the city's Battlesphere, but feel safer under protection of the Beaked Marauder, Captain Kalaw. The people of Shang Tu praises General Gong as a hero, believing he is the one who defeated Lord Brevon, even though he tried to tell them about Team Lilac's role in the warlord's defeat. In the 3 years after the events of the first game, Avalice and its three kingdoms have seen and gone through much change, thanks to the Kingdom Spiral. Eventually, the vortex transformed into a planetary ring that wrapped around the planet. But then the unthinkable happened: the Kingdom Stone had transformed into the Kingdom Spiral, a crystalline vortex that began to spread unlimited energy across the planet, marking a new beginning for the world of Avalice. All hope seemed to have been lost for the Avalicians, believing they won't be able to survive without any more energy. Thanks to the efforts of Team Lilac and a surviving Chaser named Torque, Brevon and his army were defeated, but the Kingdom Stone was destroyed along with the Dreadnought while Brevon himself manages to escape the planet.
Despite this, however, one Dragon Scientist believed that there would come a time in the future when the truth must be told, so he programmed a robotic AI, Pangu, with a recorded message for the future descendants of Avalice to see.ĭuring the events of Freedom Planet, Avalice is invaded by an alien army led by Arktivus Brevon, an intergalactic warlord who plotted to spark a civil war between the Three Kingdoms so he could steal the Kingdom Stone, power his Dreadnought and continue his galactic conquest, leaving the planet's ruling kingdoms to fight in a war with no prize to win. With that, the Dragons settled in the location now known as Pangu Lagoon, and allowed their influence to eventually pass into legend, as requested by the Avalicians of that era. Three kingdoms were then built on Avalice, each with their own power and technology: Shang Tu, Shang Mu & Shuigang.
Ultimately, the Dragons decided to use their technology to help the Avalicians survive and prosper, condensing their energy reserves into the Kingdom Stone for the planet to use.
They wasted countless years trying to find a way to return to their homeworld, but to no avail. Long before the events of Freedom Planet, Avalice used to be a standard planet filled with all kinds of life and vegetation, until the starship of the Ancient Dragons crash landed on the planet.
The cultures, mythologies and landscapes of Avalice are similar to those of East Asia. Avalice is an earth-like planet, being home to a variety of anthropomorphic animals and Dragons who came from an unknown planet in outer space.
