Worlds of the Spiral
Wizard City:
-
Home of the Spiral Wizard City is at the center of all things.
The entire city has sprouted up around Bartleby, the World Tree. Bartleby protects all worlds by eternally maintaining a connection to them along the Spiral. Wizard City is home to the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts and its esteemed faculty of renowned Wizards. All Wizards get their start in learning about magic and choosing a specific class at this historic institution. Recently, a shadow has crept over Wizard City and Merle Ambrose, Headmaster of Ravenwood, has begun his search to find courageous young Wizards who can save Wizard City.
Kroktopia:
-
Lost City of the Witch-Kings Krokotopia is an ancient land of forgotten treasures. In this place, deserts surround the life-giving oasis in the shadow of towering pyramids. Krokotopia was once home to the Kroks, and it is rumored the Kroks have re-awakened and enslaved the Manders. Occasionally, the canines of Marleybone can be seen here excavating ruins in search of artifacts for their museums.
Marleybone:
-
Bastion of Science and Canine Nobility Marleybone is the home of dogs, cats, and proper manners. The city has all the trappings of a modern society built upon scientific foundations. Big Ben, Scotland Yard, and the Royal Museum are some of the most famous sights in Marleybone. Beware in Marleybone at night where the name "Meowiarty" is whispered in hushed tones. It is also rumored that roving cat gangs litter the rooftops and steal many of the city's precious valuables.
MooShu:
-
Kingdom of Strength, Honor, and Family MooShu is a beautiful land with a rich, deep history. Full cherry trees, carefully maintained gardens, and tall mountains can be found everywhere. Although this is a place of knowledge and tradition, there is a great mystery here. It is home to both the honorable samoorai as well as the sneaky ninja pigs. For some time, there has been peace. Recently though, the Emperor has taken ill and the ninja pig clans have risen again to stir up trouble in MooShu.
Dragonspyre:
-
Dragonspyre is an ancient, haunted world that was once an advanced militant society, Dragonspyre had an esteemed Academy rivaling that of the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts in Wizard City. The inhabitants once held a special interest in Fire Magic. Legend has it that in the summoning of a great Dragon Titan, the world was destroyed and changed forever. Its great buildings and stone columns crumbled before the coming of the Dragon Titan. Now, it has become a land of fire, lava, and ghosts.
Celestia:
-
Long ago, the Astral Wizards of Celestia created powerful magic using the energy of the Stars, the Moon, and the Sun. The sorceress Morganthe, a Queen of the Shadow Web, wanted the secrets of the Celestian magic at all costs. The Celestians refused her, so she raised a Dark Army and sent it against Celestia. After decades of battle, the Astral Wizards realized their world would fall. They summoned the Storm Titan to defeat Morganthe’s legions and to take their world to a place of safety. The Storm Titan betrayed the Celestians by sinking their world beneath the Waves along with Morganthe’s invading forces. Realizing they were doomed, the Celestians raised mighty Domes to protect some of their treasured city from the waves, though it was too late! They perished along with Morganthe's invading army. Celestia was lost to the Spiral, its Spiral Door closed forever. Centuries later, a team of brave explorers from the Spiral Geographic Society, led by Sir Thurston Plunkett, re-discovered Celestia. They landed with an Air-Ship and built Exploratory Undersea Domes to explore Celestia’s ruins. Plunkett and his fellow explorers soon realized that Celestia was now inhabited by a strange new culture... the Crustacean Empire. Unfortunately, the explorers did not come alone to Celestia. Morganthe’s followers, the Shadow Weavers, stand ready to take Celestia’s magic for their Queen.
Grizzleheim & Wintertusk:
-
Inspired by Norse mythology, Grizzleheim & Wintertusk are airy, outdoor landscapes of snowy mountains, glacial ridges and towering trees that are home to three tribes - Bears, Wolves and Ravens.
Wysteria:
-
Wysteria was once a trade post and pleasant enough small town in the Wizard City cluster, not too far away but of little consequence in the overall scheme of things, until a magical incident occurred that caused a crawling vine to grow and completely overrun the town. Pigswick Academy is located at the heart of Wysteria and is a rival school to Ravenwood.
Avalon
-
Avalon is a world full of wonder and history. Who's history in particular? Why, Ravenwood's very own Merle Ambrose came from Avalon! With lush green trees and mythical creatures, it seems like nothing could go wrong in this beautiful world. In a quest to secure the Sword of Kings, the legendary blade of Avalon was once held by King Artorius.
Azteca
-
Ten years ago a great comet appeared in the sky over Azteca, one of the oldest islands in the Spiral, a fragment of the First World. The comet panicked the Aztecosaurs and drove them to seek shelter in their underground mines. Most in the Spiral assumed Azteca was destroyed.
