The town was formerly known as Castillon until it was abandoned in August of 2022. On January 19th 2023, the town was re-founded as Faiien-Avalor, which meeans Good City in Noxist.

Known History of Castillon
Not much is currently known about Castillon's history. What we do know is that it was a city likely from mid to late 2021, then was used as a refugee camp around the 18th of November. It was likely abandoned not long afterwards, as seen in the variety of "blank was here" signs scattered around. The town had multiple buildings lava casted over and many logs stripped during its time abandoned. On March 6, 2022, the player Dalegendary00 claimed the city, with permission from TheKaiserJeremy, Emperor of Gertonia. DaLegendary removed all the lava casts on the surface, and invited her friends Llama_lordie, Robppc, and Naldilias to help restore the town. She invited another friend a few days later. As of March 9, 2022, the town is not fully restored.

Abandonment of Castillon
At an unknown time in August 2022, Castillon was abandoned by its remaining population. This is mainly due to the integration of the Holy Gertonian Empire into the Simulami Empire. After being abandoned, the town sustained some minor damage, and was left completely abandoned.

Re-founding as Faiien-Avalor
Discussion had began to unfold among remaining Noxists on founding a new Noxist settlement within the Simulami Empire. After some discussion, the Manakrin Niedene Avrein opted to found a new settlement in the ruins of Castillon, naming if Faiien-Avalor, which translates to Good City in Noxist. After founding the town, he went about repairing the damage the town had sustained. Despite his work restoring the town, it remained largely uinhabited for the following two months, although he continued to make minor improvements and changes around the town. This included removing the shrine to Sylene due to the banning of the Soleannen and Soleviel faiths in the mainland Simulami Empire. Later on, the area where the shrine was got transformed into a shrine to Ni'us by Almar Talmont.

Revitalisation and Growth
In mid-march 2023, the town started to receive a large number of new residents. This massive population growth resulted in the expansion of farming and a growth in the local economy with the creation of a new honey farm. This rapid growth resulted in the town becoming the largest town in the Tyr-Wahat region of the Simulami Empire by population, as it became a beacon of activity in the region. It now maintains a large active playerbase, and with House Talmont establishing its royal estate in the town, this has only bought more activity.

Religion & Culture
Under Castillon, the town was prominently Soleannen. However, under Faiien-Avalor the town is now more reilgiously mixed. Mayor Avrein is a Noxist, with Noxism having taken a prominent role in the growth of the town. However, Almar Talmont is a follower of the Shattered Faith. Culturally, it is largely a mix of Krobuny Culture influenced by the shattered faith and Helmian Noxist culture.

Geography and Economy
Although sitting in a relatively flat plains and forested area with a few hills, the town serves as an important link between the Simulami Empire and the Kingdom of Creed. Recently this has seen the creation of a new Road between Faiien-Avalor and Thanutabad. The town also sits on one of the only roads in Tyr-Wahat, making it a small trade-hub. The economy of the town is largely a mix of agriculture and trade, the town is home to a moderately sized bread-emporium, but also has a honey farm. The town also sits at the Geographical Center of Nieden, with a new monument planned to commemorate this.
