  A MAGICAL REALM   

Mahou Wando is a magical realm created by a powerful witch named Agatha Hargrooves, who wanted a safe place for everyone who had the potential of magic to gather together away from those who want to use, hurt, or abuse them because of their powers. A place where magical warriors can thrive, a place where magicians and wizards can hone their skills to perfection, a place where enchanted creatures can be cared for properly. Agatha did not discriminate between those who were budding and those who were more experienced. As long as you have the power of magic within, you are welcomed at Mahou Wando.

WHAT'S IN MAHOU WANDO?

In Mahou Wando, you can find various shops filled with the most unique and exquisite magical items around, as well as magic-users worthy of the same title. Quirky, determined, ambitious... There are many types of characters worthy of the title "Mahou" within this realm. Your character's adventure in Mahou Wando will be fun if you talk to the right people~

  

HOW TO ENTER AND LEAVE MAHOU WANDO

To enter Mahou Wando, one would need a MAHOU KEY™ (purchasable in every wizard convenience store magical glitter dust not included). Simply stick the key into a door's keyhole, chant "I want to be a clown wizard" three times, and you're there! Just kidding! Can you imagine how silly that would be though? You don't have to chant anything like that, just twist the key and open the door and it should lead you right where you want to be. You can exit the realm the same way you came in!

  

MAGICIANS OPERATING IN AND OUT OF THE REALM

One doesn't have to live in Mahou Wando to get the full experience. As long as you have the MAHOU KEY, you can simply visit for a trip then exit. Agatha is happy to accept temporary visitors as well as long term ones. For example, Mahou Wando gets a yearly visit from St. Nick and his elves from the North Pole! :D

  QUICK LORE ABOUT EACH LOCATION   

  

AGATHA ACADEMY

A magical academy dedicated to the learning of mahous! As its name suggests, it was founded by Agatha Hargrooves. The Academy is considered to be the "gem" of the realm, as it's an irreplaceable resource for both information and protection for students and adult mahous alike. Read the AGATHA ACADEMY LORE JOURNAL FOR MORE INFORMATION!

  

MAGICIAN'S QUARTERS

The magician's quarters are where the mahous of Mahou Wando reside! The common magician quarter is for anyone who is looking for housing in Mahou Wando while the high-class magician quarter is reserved for the most powerful and elite magicians and their families! Because of the existence of the high-class magician quarter, one can find many royal mahous within the realm. Some of these royals have an attitude about their class status while others don't, so it's up to your mahou to find out who they end up meeting~

  

UNIVERSAL SERVICES

 Universal services offer many services around the realm such as - making everyone experience weather, news broadcasting, banking, the library, running the post office and police station, collecting taxes- THAT STUFF. It's also where the train station to LITTLE NIGHTSOVANIA as well as the TELEPORTATION POINT to both sides of the realm without going through the Hallowed Forest is located!

The most notable section of universal services is the Mahou Patrol! READ MORE IN-DEPTH INFO ABOUT THE MAHOU PATROL BY CLICKING THIS LINK!

  

THE MAGICIANS' MARKET + SPECIALTY SHOPS

The Magician's Market is filled with merchants trying to get mahous to buy their stock! One can find humanoid and nonhumanoid merchants alike in the marketplace, as well as interesting magical products of all kinds. Books, wands, brooms, crystals, package-friendly summoning packs? Everything you need as a magician can probably be found somewhere around here. It's easy to get lost in the sea of mahous during the busy hours, so make sure to keep track of your friends!

If you're looking for more advanced and specialized services, like cafe service and things with a little more ~class~, the specialty shops is where you should head over to. One can find various little well-organized stores and services within the specialty shops area surrounding the bustling business district, and the shopkeepers are usually much more talented than those selling stock on the magician's market~

  

THE WITCHES MEMORIAL

A memorial graveyard dedicated to the burned witches and fallen, magical warriors... They will be dearly remembered and missed.

Other than being a burial ground, it's rumored that certain tombstones in the memorial acts as either gates to the great spirit world or the straight-up afterlife. Many ghosts, as well as undead residents who aren't fond of the technological advancements of Lil Nightsovania tends to make their homes here with quite the social life with many others who fell to similar fates.

  

THE HALLOWED FOREST 

Behind the Agatha Academy courtyard, there is an enchanted forest, the Hallowed Forest. Most non-humanoid magical creatures can be found there, and occasionally, some humanoids too. Just be careful and don't walk too deep into it, you never know what's going to gobble you up... or just run into an inconvenient encounter with various CREACHERS that reside within the realm!

Magicians tempted by the resources and mysteries of the Hallowed Woods often run into unfortunate accidents within the deep forest. In some cases, they end up being possessed permanently by CURSED FRUITS or just get caught unwillingly in a forever ongoing divorce settlement between the CURSED FRUIT KING and the PUMPKIN QUEEN. Still, if one is not yet a skilled magician, they should probably stay away from the Hallowed Forest!

COUNT ROSENCRANZ'S CASTLE

Once belonging to the infamous dark entity of the realm - Count Rosencranz, the ruined castle is now forbidden to be visited legally without an official license for study or archiving under any circumstance.
Professors are encouraged to keep students away from the castle no matter what it takes, for it's rumored that forbidden artifacts and items are leftover from the past, as well as the Rosencranz apocalypse...
But if you're someone easily tempted by the darkness... well... maybe you'd want to try your hand at visiting anyways... Just know that there are dire consequences for those who are caught, or don't make it in on the way.

PLEASANT ACRES

Outside of the Shallow Hallowed forest, a stretch of land is preserved for the agricultural backbone of Mahou Wando! Ranchers, farmers, gardeners, and various mahous who find joy in the simple ways of life tend to make their homes here and let their Creachers run wild and free! It's also not uncommon to see friendly CURSED FRUITS roaming around Pleasant Acres and helping mahous with their work! As long as they get dibs on part of the delicious magical soil at the end of the workday that is! The soil is completely self-replenishing thanks to magic~

 

FAIRYLAND

Ever wonder what happens to your favorite fairytale characters after they finish their stories? A lot of them end up in Fairyland as they live out their happily ever afters! In Fairyland, it's not uncommon to see enchanted castles, wizard towers, fountain-of-youth springs and other high-class magically managed architecture! There's even a portion of Fairyland that's extremely miniature, made to accommodate the itsy-bitsy residents of Mawa with ease!

Fairyland residents are also statistically the biggest consumers of directed entertainment and tend to place a high value on things like romance and soulmates. Don't let their fairytale fantasy lifestyle fool you however, some of these idealistic magic users have a nasty streak to them! Why do you think there's so much drama in fairytales, to begin with? If you're looking for a place of residence for your wishes upon a star, Fairyland is the place to be for you!

 

LONGHUA CITY

A city permanently stuck in the past - from 1980 and more backwards, surrounded by a gigantic wall around its borders to maintain the illusion!

Popular among retirees and aged magicians from the Earth, LongHua was made for mahous who've gotten tired of keeping up with the passage of time, and just decided to live in their favorite time period for the rest of their lives. Architecture in LongHua tends to resemble those in the Sinosphere, but it isn't uncommon to find houses from other cultures as well with their own little themed neighborhoods from EVERY culture on Earth. The deeper one goes into LongHua City, the older the architecture and culture gets, spanning all the way back to ANCIENT times.

It's considered RUDE to use modern technology within the city walls as it breaks the illusion many of the residents are trying to live out. Nevertheless, it's still a popular place for tourists and oldsters alike!

 

CLOUDSVILLE

A city at the edge of Mahou Wando, elevating more and more as one travels through it all the way to the beginning of interdimensional space! Completely made out of clouds, every part of the city is soft to the touch and one can literally ram their hand through a wall with ease.

Pleasant and incredibly clean, Cloudsville is a popular place of residence for winged-mahous such as angels or pegasus, as well as celestial/godly entities who enjoy watching the view of mortals from above. It is the only place in Mahou Wando not affected by universal weather services, as it's well... above the clouds, so it's always sunny and pleasant up there. Cloudsville is also a popular tourist destination for those who love to relax or spread their wings~

 

INTERDIMENSIONAL DOCKING STATION

The highest point of Mahou Wando, surrounded by a transparent barrier in the midst of Interdimensional Space!

The I.D.S - Standing for Interdimensional Docking Station, is essentially a HUGE dimensional-space-airport connecting to so many realms that it's impossible to remember them all. But, if a realm exists, and its coordinates have been recorded by at least ONE person who visited Mahou Wando one can buy a ticket to use the transport-system to essentially portal them into any realm they choose from the catalog. It's also a popular place to dock ships for mahous visiting from space, there's even a whole parking lot for people's various spacecrafts!

  

WAHOU ISLAND 

Located at a faraway and unknown location, Wahou Island was created to host water-dwelling Creachers who want to live permanently in the realm. Nowadays, it's a tropical island paradise on shore, and its clean and unpolluted waters are home to many mermaids and other monsters. Most of them are friendly though, just don't throw cans in the water (you'll be fined). You can get there with a special magical ferry boat operated by a froggy sea captain.

BUNBATS AND LIL NIGHTSOVANIA

An underground section exists in Mahou Wando and can be accessed by taking the train in Universal Services. The world of Lil Nightsovania! A land of eternal night and home to countless nocturnal residents, as well as being somewhat of a breeding ground for underground crime. Think Gotham City vibes, but now everyone has magical powers.

Besides general magical Creachers, mahous can also find a species named BUNBATS in the realm. Bunbats are an endangered species that's been rescued by Agatha Hargrooves on the verge of their demise and now reside in Mahou Wando to recover their population. As a species in general, BunBats are very social and are always looking to make friends, so don't be shy! Right now, the majority of BunBats don't wish to leave Mahou Wando and are currently flip-flapping within presidential political discourse because of the recent loss of their King.

MAGICAL CREACHERS

There are countless magical Creachers inhabiting the realm of Mahou Wando. Creachers are magical pets that any mahou have the ability to tame for their partner if they choose to do so! Most Creachers are very friendly, but more malicious ones lurk within the deep Hallowed forest. You can find THE FULL LIST OF DOCUMENTED CREACHERS HERE.
