Avalas is one of the four worlds within the Acheron system. It is a realm characterized by ruins, battlefields, and the rise and fall of empires. This world has been invaded by armies from all of Nawirrûs's domains. Units, armies, and other combatants frequently find themselves near a fog bank, which may serve as an avenue of retreat or something worth investigating. The tales of this fog of war are numerous, recounted across countless cultures. Known as the Avalas War Call, those who enter this mist find themselves transported to the battlefields of Avalas. They may wander, join a cause, or be compelled to engage in combat. After a few weeks, months, or even years, the survivors of Avalas's unending conflicts are returned to their original place of origin.

Avalas serves as a breeding ground for proselytizers. On this world, they are trained by those in service to a Higher Power or one aspiring to be. Early in the Lith-Crillion Era, Orcus was the first to infiltrate units marooned on Avalas through a phenomenon known as the Avalas War Call. Trained men and women of the cloth join as mercenaries, healers, and even servants. The ultimate goal of this endeavor is to spread the word of their patron to the Mortal Systems, the part of the Void that serves as the focus for the required divine power to become a Higher Power.

The Proselytizer Training Grounds, nestled within the untamed wilderness of the Avalas region, served as the epicenter for the indoctrination of the faithful. Here, novice Proselytizers underwent a rigorous regimen designed to cultivate their abilities in persuasion, manipulation, and the unwavering propagation of their beliefs. Through intense instruction and immersive simulations, these aspirants honed the skills necessary to sway the hearts and minds of the skeptical masses, ensuring the continued expansion of the Avalas Creed. Meticulously curated by the Order's most seasoned veterans, the training grounds provided a multifaceted approach to Proselytizer development. Classroom sessions delved into the nuances of rhetoric and psychology, equipping the initiates with the verbal dexterity to navigate even the most challenging dialogues. Practical exercises, meanwhile, thrust them into real-world scenarios, testing their adaptability and resolve in the face of adversity and opposition. At the core of this training regimen lay an unyielding emphasis on the unwavering principles of the Avalas Creed. Proselytizers were instilled with an unshakable conviction, a fervent dedication to the cause that would guide their every action and interaction. Through rigorous indoctrination, they became vessels for the propagation of the faith, their very identities subsumed by the greater mission of expanding the reach of the Avalas Strategies.

In the Lith-Crillion Era, the goblin warlord Maglubiyet, supported by a demon lord, invaded the realm of Avalas. They arrived through the Avalas War Call. Maglubiyet then proceeded to conquer numerous lands and peoples. His Gob'biyet Empire dominated continents, islands, and even subsea locations. Centuries later, the reign of this empire's founder came to a conclusion. On 21 Hollow 588 HE, Maglubiyet was slain by an orc hero named Gruumsh. Gob'biyet now had a new master. Gruumsh seized a portion of Maglubiyet's divine power, thereby becoming a Higher Power through conquest. He has ruled the Gob'biyet Empire ever since.
