Avaldsnes (in Elw, Avalnes) is an Elwynnese bailiwick and city in Wintergleam, in north-eastern Elwynn. Population 769,640 inhabitants.

It was considered the unofficial capital of the Froyalaners during Elwynn's Vanic era, with much investment and development. Since the Auspicious Occasion in 1651, however, the city has lost almost all of its previous favour, and quickly reduced in population. As the population was almost exclusively Froyalanish at the time of the Auspicious Occasion, the city is full of derelict abandoned buildings. It is considered the poorest of Elwynn's larger bailiwicks.

Outside the urban areas, however, the Wintergleam Forest stretches all the way to Asantelian. The forest is considered to be one of the most beautiful ones in all of Elwynn.

Other famous tourist spots in Avaldsnes are Humility Mount (originally named "Saint Harald's Castle"), a small island with a castle which was the Vanic monarchy's official residence in Avaldsnes, as well as several museums devoted to the Vanic excesses.

There have been since 1651 repeated calls for the city to change its name to make a clean cut from its Vanic history.

Emperor Arkadius of Francia, Arcadia and Batavia has repeatedly asked Elwynn to cede Avaldsnes to him.
