Balor is likely a country or kingdom in the land of Albion. It is located beyond the Mountains of Isgaard roughly a day's ride from Camelot. Conjecture of its existence is based on the names of the Forest and Caves of Balor, which both occupy the same tract of land.
History[]
Arthur once journeyed to the Forest and Caves of Balor to retrieve a Mortaeus Flower. He encountered the sorceress Nimueh along the way and was nearly killed when she lured him into a trap (The Poisoned Chalice).
Trivia[]
- It is possible that Nimueh's Cave was located in this area, as she seemed to know it well enough to guide Arthur (The Poisoned Chalice).
Mythology[]
Balor was a one-eyed giant in Irish mythology and leader of an evil race, perhaps an inspiration for these dark lands.
