Planet Avalice (Celestial Body M-516) is the main setting of the Freedom Planet series, being the homeworld to a majority of characters in the series.
Appearance[]
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. The cultures, mythologies and landscapes of Avalice are similar to those of East Asia.
History[]
Pre-Freedom Planet[]
Long before the events of Freedom Planet, Avalice used to be an standard, unnamed planet filled with all kinds of life and vegetation, until the starship of the Earth Dragons crash landed on the planet. They wasted countless years trying to find a way to return to their homeworld, but to no avail. After discovering that Avalice was inhabited, the Earth Dragons ultimately decided to use their technology to help the natives survive and prosper, condensing their energy reserves into the Kingdom Stone for the planet to use. The Three Kingdoms of Shang Tu, Shang Mu & Shuigang were then built, each with their own power and technology. With that, the Earth 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. 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 an AI Drone, Pangu, with a recorded message for the future descendants of Avalice to see.
Freedom Planet[]
During 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 civil war with no prize to win. 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. All hope seemed to have been lost for the Avalicians, believing they won't be able to survive without the energy the Kingdom Stone provided. 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. Eventually, the vortex transformed into a planetary ring that wrapped around the planet.
Freedom Planet 2[]
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. 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. 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. As for the people of Shuigang, they especially praise Gong as a hero, while they continue to recover from the scars of war after their ruler, King Dail, was used as a pawn of war following the death of his Father at the hands of Brevon.
Despite the 3 years of peace on Avalice, the remnants of Brevon's Army continue 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. Now freed from her imprisonment, Merga seeks vengeance upon the Avalicians and sets out to resurrect the ancient starship, Bakunawa, as part of her goal to "Purify the World". She also plans to expose dark secrets about the leaders of Avalice that will not only change the history of the Three Kingdoms forever, but will also push the friendships and loyalties of Team Lilac to the breaking point.
