Mercinae is the oldest of the currently populated cities in Avalon. In the past it was known as Alqualonde and Mycenae, and has grown greatly since its inception. The founding stone of Mercinae can still be seen at the southern sea-front of the city, a statue holding aloft a sword, and a prayer to Aldaron to look over and protect the city forever. Other points of interest in Mercinae include the funeral parlour of Wraith, along Sunset Way, the Tower of Tooth Island, where the council members hold their meetings, and the Cathedral, on the eastern bank, where many of Avalon's weddings have been held.
