Editing Horrors of Averoigne (section)

=Important Information and Materials=


"Vyones was the principal town of the province of Averoigne. On two sides the great, shadow-haunted forest, a place of equivocal legends, of loups-garous and phantoms, approached to the very walls and flung its umbrage upon them at early forenoon and evening. On the other sides there lay cultivated fields, and gentle streams that meandered among willows or poplars, and roads that ran through an open plain to the high chateaux of noble lords and to regions beyond Averoigne." - Clark Ashton Smith, "The Maker of Gargoyles"

Averoigne is a fairly isolated upland area of southeast central France, with many volcanic mountains, cut off from easy access to the rest of France by a more or less circular range round its fringes, and shielded internally and externally by thick primeval forest. Therefore, the province is spared from much of the warfare and marauding that defiles the rest of mid-14th century France, but is also rather backward, superstitious and haunted by dark presences.
