Avalê was a small keep owned by the Urkuzîr. Built to protect their silver mines in the Armânuks and the nearby quarry, Avalê became famous for its marble. It produced a rich red and white striated marble, destined for the wealthy quarters of Sakarumân and other great holds of the region.

During the early part of the Cinazan Front, Avalê was taken over by the Khazarkar military. It became a hospital for the sick and wounded fighting across the hills of Armânuk.

In 1832, while war raged around to the northeast, Avalê became the center of three groups looking for an ancient artifact. On 4 Witchrite, the garrison was shelled by the Pillar of Horns. After two hours of bombardment, reduced to a smoking ruin, a party of minotaur marines went down with their emperor, plundering and putting the survivors to rest. Four days later, a Harvester appeared over the ruin. While this Black Tide skyship collecting corpses, a party of undead went into the ruin, searching for an ancient artifact. The next morning, another group came looking. This group, the Hulkurân Zagar, engaged and destroyed the Harvester and all its crew; and successful in finding an artifact named the Shield of Thular-Tûr.
