Averoigne is a fictional counterpart of a historical province in France, detailed in a series of short stories by the American writer Clark Ashton Smith.
"[3] The most well-known citizen is Gaspard du Nord of Vyones, a wizard who translated The Book of Eibon into Norman French.
[3][1] In ancient times, Smith depicts Averoigne as having been settled by the fictional Gallic tribe called the Averones.
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 depicted by Smith as being located in Averoigne include: Moulins, Les Hiboux, La Frenâie, Touraine, Sainte Zenobie, and Périgon.
