Behind the scenes[]

This reference from the King's Quest Companion is to both the Isle of Avalon from Arthurian Legend and the musician Frankie Avalon. The name literally meaning "the isle of fruit [or apple] trees".

It is also the name for a mythical Land of Faerie: 15th-century poet and monk John Lydgate wrote that King Arthur was crowned in "the land of the fairy" and taken in his death by four fairy queens, to Avalon, where he lies under a "fairy hill", until he is needed again.

Avalon has traditionally been connected to Glastonbury in England. The legend he was buried at Glastonbury Abbey.

Avalon is a land mentioned in the King's Quest Companion, and later King's Questions trivia game. The land of Avalon (KQGS) in the King's Quest reboot was inspired by this obscure reference.
