'''Hardlypool''' (formerly ''Avon'') is a village located on the same continent as [[Wetlock]], just northwest of it in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.

==Story==
Hardlypool is the first village encountered by the party in the region. It is a sleepy little mountain village on the edge of a mountain range separated from the rest of the continent. The only way to reach the towns of [[Spilton-on-Sea]] and Wetlock in the south is through the [[Hardlypool Tunnel]], which is filled with monsters. For this reason, the tunnel is normally guarded to protect the villagers. The villagers mention that it's rare to see travelers, and just a day ago, a traveling musician named [[Florin|Old Man Riffer]] visited Hardlypool as well, before heading to Spilton-on-Sea. Since the town does not have an inn, the Mayor invites the party for a dinner of stew and offers to let them stay the night. During the night, a mysterious song can be heard in the background. When the party wakes up in the morning, all of the townspeople of Hardlypool have mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Upon reaching the [[Highendreigh Tower]], the party encounters the people of Hardlypool, who were brought to the tower by Old Man Riffer in order to save them from the flood. After the party defeats [[Gracos]], the flood ends and town goes back to normal, allowing the villagers to return to their homes. Hardlypool no longer exists in the present.
