'''Averoigne''' is a fictional counterpart of a historical [[région]] in [[France]], detailed in a series of [[short stories]] by the [[United States|American]] [[writer]] [[Clark Ashton Smith]]. The real province Smith based it on is [[Auvergne (province)|Auvergne]].

== History ==

In ancient times, Averoigne was settled by the fictional [[Gaul|Gallic]] tribe called the Averones. They established a number of settlements in the region, many of which were fortified when the [[Roman Empire]] absorbed the region. When [[Christianity]] spread through the Empire, many churchs and monasteries were established among the ruins of Druidic temples. Greatest among these was a great [[cathedral]] constructed in Vyones, completed in 1138.

== Geography ==

Averoigne is located in the southern half of France. The northern half of the territory is dominated by the walled city of Vyones, site of an impressive cathedral. In the southern half is located the town of Ximes; the main road of Averoigne runs between Ximes and Vyones, straight through the thick, dark forest that blankets the province. A river called Isoile flows from the mountains in the northern part of the province to feed into a swamp in the south.

Other towns and villages located in Averoigne include: Moulins, Les Hiboux, La Frenâie, Touraine, Sainte Zenobie, and Périgon. In the forest can be found haunted ruins, such as the Château of Fausseflammes and the stronghold of Ylourgne.
