		The most important feature of Averoigne is the thick forest that covers most of the center of the province and gives the region its sinister repute.
		This is the shortest of the Averoigne chronicles and never appeared in the pages of Weird Tales, probably because of the hints of carnal lust and sexuality that underlie the appearance of a lecherous Pan-like figure and a forest with 'obscene' shapes that ignites passionate feelings between a pair of adulterous lovers.
		The evil sorcerer-bishop Azédarac, on the verge of death, transports himself across dimensions to an alternate Averoigne and battles a version of himself in a duel.

	Averoigne
		Averoigne is almost entirely (three quarters) covered in the lush decidous Averoigne Forest.
		The people of Averoigne are generally friendly, though they are suspicious, and can appear to those not native to the domain as rude or arrogant.
		In relation to the other domains of Ravenloft, Averoigne is situated on the southern end of the core, and can usually be reached by heading south from Sithicus.

	SciFan: Books: Rendezvous in Averoigne: The Best Fantastic Tales of Clark Ashton Smith by Clark Ashton Smith (from our ...
		This beautifully produced Arkham House collection is a bejeweled corridor into the dark worlds of vampire-cursed Averoigne, Zothique of the dying sun, primordial Hyperborea (which, with its fl, amorphous god Tsathoggua, is close in spirit to Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos), and others.
		Smith is a consummate stylist whose evocations of lush exoticism and languid evil led critic Brian Stableford to call him "the poet of American Decadence," and yet his tales are also humorous--in a wry, macabre way.
		A Rendezvous in Averoigne collects 30 tales, with illustrations by J. Potter and an introduction by Ray Bradbury.

		The Averoigne, Atlantis, and Hyperborea stories could easily fit under one rubric as they are quite similar.
		Probably the worst story in the book is unfortunately the first one, "The Holiness of Azedarac," where a monk in Averoigne travels back in time due to the plans of an evil officer of the church.
		An overly large portion is devoted to Averoigne, Smith's weakest major cycle.

	The Fantasy Cycles of Clark Ashton Smith (Part I: The Averoigne Chronicles) by Ryan Harvey
		In terms of memorable tales, the Averoigne cycle also falls behind Hyperborea at al.
		Zothique was Smith's strongest artistic series, while its connections to H. Lovecraft's 'Mythos' and its cynical humor have made Hyperborea much more interesting to fans.
		Of course, fans of Klarkash-Ton might find it tempting to travel to Averoigne and create their own stories.

	Wizard with Words: An Appreciation of Clark Ashton Smith
		This difference is based on the fact that Averoigne is intended to be read as a fictional part of real history, which enables Smith to refer to real religious history: in this case, to the conflict between Christianity and paganism.
		In Averoigne, Christianity is the religion of town and city and paganism the religion of the forest and countryside (Smith would have recognized the roots of “pagan” in the Latin paganus or “rural”).
		As with his stories of Averoigne, Smith flavors his stories of Zothique by setting them in only a few places, which might be characterized as desert, palace, and necropolis.

		But Averoigne is perfect for fans of both DandD and Call of Cthulhu: It combines the medieval sensibilities and possibilities for heroic adventures of the one with the eerie horror, lurking menace, and overwhelming terror of the other.
		Of all these, only the Arkham House A Rendezvous in Averoigne and the Fantasy Masterwork omnibus are currently in print; neither is likely to be in your average bookstore, but they can be ordered online either directly from Arkham House www.arkhamhouse.com or www.amazon.co.uk, respectively.
		Finally, Smith is fortunate in having an exceptional website devoted to his work, which makes available on-line all of his currently out-of-print writings as well as biographical information, pictures of some of his artwork, and much, much more: see www.eldritchdark.com.

	History of House Beaumarys-Moorkroft
		It was after the d'Ambrevilles disappeared in the Land of the Mists in AC 896 that the surviving Beaumarys moved to Fenswick and became recognized as Fenswick.
		François Beaumarys was an intellectual and philosopher of Old Averoigne who was unjustly persecuted by the Inquisition for his avant-garde ideas on metaphysics and the nature of the cosmos.
		In AC 829, the Republic of Glantri was established, and the territories of the Fen Witches became recognized as the Duchy of Fenswick.

		She saw the d’Amberville family as the rulers of Averoigne, needing no help from others – Stephen asked for the peoples opinion far too much and taxed them far too little.

	Rad
		He did not want to be recognised as a true immortal, to avoid the same religious persecutions and debates he had to suffer in his homeland, and later he made the Council of Wizard-Princes ban any kind of religious order from Glantri, in order to prevent any kind of religious schism in his country.
		Etienne was later responsible for creating the Great School of Magecraft, becoming its Grand Master in AC875, and in AC 896 the Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne obtained its seat in the parliament of the Principalities of Glantri.
		He went back to Averoigne in Laterre and bargained with his old friend, the sorceress Geneviève de Sephora, a passage to Mystara in exchange for her own tower, la Maison de Sylaire, which became the d'Ambrevilles new fortress.

	Eldritch Dark Forum :: Averoigne Map
		Any map of Averoigne should begin with the boundaries of the historic Auvergne province of France, but after this you will eventually have to make some hard decisions which can only be based on the individual needs of your project.
		Not having read the Averoigne tales for some time (they are not my favorites), however, I don't recall whether CAS alludes to this aspect of the terrain.
		One of the problems encountered in creating a geography for Averoigne is that so much of the action takes place within the forest.

	The Quarry: A Tale of Nineteenth-Century Averoigne by Simon Whitechapel
		Gérard was puzzled for a moment by the addendum, then remembered that he had asked the origin of a Latin phrase beneath a stained-glass window — “Lucky to survive la Révolution,” the priest had assured him — depicting some tumult, almost impressionniste in its vigor and lack of realism, of water and weed.
		Instead, deeply worried by her failure to appear, he sought out the eave of the forest of Averoigne mentioned by Priscille, meaning to visit the cottage of her father and enquire after her welfare.
		Eave and cottage proved easy enough to find, but the hollyhocks and yellow roses of the latter had evidently grown thirty years or more untended: the place was a ruin, and when he entered it, stepping through an empty and sagging doorway, he found it gutted by time and the hands of passing vagabonds.

		Lin Carter is the only writer on Smith I know who has called attention to the differences between these two texts & the merits of the original.
		The restored text of "The Beast of Averoigne" printed in this latter volume is so different in narrative structure as to constitute an almost entirely different, & superior, story to the version hitherto available.
		If we study the texts of "The Maze of the Enchanter" & "The Maze of Maal Dweb" in parallel, we are again reminded of a passage from Mark Twain.
