“Avalon is the first simm I joined in Obsidian Fleet. The leadership exhibited there both inside the story and outside in Discord discussing storylines is one of the best. As someone who activiely writes in another fleet this is hands down one of the best groups to join and write with. My only complaint is that I do not have enough time to write more.”

The year is 1993, and the world is trying to cope with the x-gene, a new step in human evolution, according to some. An abomination to nature according to others. Tensions have been on the rise for years, and it all seems to come to a head with groups of mutants across the world revealing themselves.
The Avalon Institute is an educational facility in Scotland financed by an anonymous source and under the leadership of Claire Cavendish the school aims to teach young and developing Mutants not only the regular high school curriculum required by the UK government but also covering the special challenges that the fledgling mutants have to deal with in their lives.
Join the brave and passionate faculty today and impact the minds and hearts of tomorrow!
Current Chapter – 3. Besieged
In January 1993, UK Parliament passed the controversial Mutant Registration Act, mandating that all mutants must disclose their genetic status. When Claire Cavendish, the headteacher of Avalon Institute, publicly refuses to register her status. This act of defiance attracts the wrath of the government who send a specialised military unit to manage the situation in the Scottish Highlands. As Avalon finds itself besieged they witness a country slowly spiralling into chaos as ‘Robin Hood’ and his Sherwood Rangers launch a campaign of terror.
To force a break in the stalemate Claire allows herself to be arrested and gets put on trial, leaving behind a tense situation between those staff left behind in the institute and the Genetic Oversight Unit laying siege to the ancient bastion.

What our players say about us!
“Having joined the sim very close to its inception, I’ve been impressed by the consistent standard in both chapter design and quality of writing. The characters feel like a cohesive group and the writing team has worked hard to glue things together quickly so that this is a believable, immersive world full of rich creative potential. Leadership has ensured just the right mix of narrative direction and creative liberty, which isn’t always easy, and have been an inspiration both within our writing circle and out into the wider simming community.”
