The Spheres AU

The Spheres AU is an AU created by L1quidMarbl3. It is loosely based on the concept of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres, and the direction that L1quid wanted Wings of Fire to go into.
==Overview==

|-|=
Click on each tab to view the lore of the Spheres.
|-|Aurora=
Known as "the Blue Star", Aurora is a rogue planet that appears every 200 years in the Spheres. In the time period it appears in the Spheres (a total of 32 years for its orbit around the system), Aurora drops Spores onto the planets of the Spheres.
|-|Calypso=
The ocean-covered planet of Calypso is the least understood of the Spheres, as the majority of its native flora and fauna exists in the deep planet-wide ocean. The planet is an area of great study in the universe; however, very few excursions of Calypso are successful.
|-|Coloratura=
Coloratura is a planet in the Spheres.
|-|Echo=
Echo is a planet in the Spheres.
|-|Dragon Planet=
Rather than the Dragon Planet seen in the ending of Wings of Fire: The Flames of Hope (2022), Wasp and the othermind (Cottonmouth and Lizard) have conquered the planet - making the line in The Lost Continent Prophecy "Or none of the tribes will survive" a self-fulfilling prophecy. This has resulted in the planet being forced into a society of total authoritarianism (like the type you see in dystopian science-fiction media) - the HiveWings rule over all (the HiveWings are first class citizens while the other tribes are second class citizens); the NightWings are worshipped as gods; those who do not comply are forced into a camp for dissidents.
The breath of evil plant has spread over the entire planet, choking everything in vines, making the entire planet look lifeless. All dragons and humans who live here are subjected to the othermind's control - and no one can ever be free.
==Pyrrhia==
Once a vibrant continent, Pyrrhia has been reduced to a vine-choked/vine-covered wasteland. The queens are no more, and have been replaced with overseers that answer to the HiveWings. All distinct, known cultures and individuality are gone.
===Mud Kingdom===
The Mud Kingdom is the territory of the MudWings. It was ruled by Moorhen at the time of the takeover and is currently overseen by Cottonmouth, a male MudWing, in the modern era of the Spheres.
===Kingdom of Sand===
The Kingdom of Sand is the territory of the SandWings. It was ruled by Thorn at the time of the takeover and is currently overseen by Lizard, a female SandWing, in the modern era of the Spheres.
===Sky Kingdom===
The Sky Kingdom is the territory of the SkyWings. It was ruled by Ruby at the time of the takeover and is currently overseen by Argyll, a male SkyWing, in the modern era of the Spheres.
===Kingdom of the Sea===
The Kingdom of the Sea is the territory of the SeaWings. It was ruled by Coral at the time of the takeover and is currently overseen by Axolotl, a female SeaWing, in the modern era of the Spheres.
===RainNight Kingdom===
The RainNight Kingdom is the territory of the RainWings and NightWings. It was ruled by Glory at the time of the takeover and is currently overseen by Jaguar, a female RainWing, in the modern era of the Spheres.
===Ice Kingdom===
The Ice Kingdom is the territory of the IceWings. It was ruled by Snowfall at the time of the takeover and is currently overseen by Diamond, a female IceWing, in the modern era of the Spheres.
===Possibility===
Once the infamous melting pot of Pyrrhia, Possibility is the location of Distant Hive, the Pantalan capital of Pyrrhia.
==Pantala==
Known as the origin of this future, Pantala resembles most locations in dystopian science-fiction - high tech and polluted. The Hives have kept their original structures - however they are made of metal and other materials instead of just treestuff. The Hives are ruled by Commanders, instead of Ladies, and they can be either sex (male or female). They answer only to the HiveWing queen - whose identity is highly guarded.
|-|Echo's Moon=
Echo's Moon is the only moon of planet Echo. It is only seen every 1,000 years and the moon lights up planet Echo's night sky for ten years straight with the full moon occurring during the fifth year of the moon appearing before not being seen for another 1,000 years.
|-|Epiphane=
Epiphane is a planet in the Spheres.
|-|Floris=
Floris is a planet of the Spheres.
|-|InfinityWings=
InfinityWings are an alien dragon native to the Infinity Station.
----InfinityWings have scales in shades of silver and grey.
----InfinitytWings have metal-hard, corrosive-resistant scales. Their underbellies, however, is soft and not hard, making it their weak spot.
----InfinityWings can also shoot a corrosive acid from their fangs that can degrade most stuff. However, this venom is lethal to organic material, killing it instantly.
|-|Infinity Station=
Infinity Station is the only known space station of the Spheres. As it's name suggests, the station is infinity sign-shaped.
|-|Kaotica (moon)=
Kaotica is planet Coloratura's only moon.
|-|Kaotica (planet)=
Known as "The Lost Sphere", planet Kaotica is a refuge for outcasts, exiles, and loners. It's terrain is Earth-like, albeit it looks post-apocalyptic.
|-|Kubik=
Kubik is a planet of the Spheres.
|-|Neon Moons=
The Neon Moons are the two moons of planet Epiphane. Despite their name, the Neon Moons are not actually neon-colored; they are normal moons.
|-|SphereWings=
SphereWings are an alien dragon species.
|-|Supernova 7=
The Supernova 7 are the space-based group of dragons that act like the Dragonets of Destiny in the Spheres. However, they are used for political purposes only (they are political puppets used by an unknown leader in the Spheres), and have been stolen from their homes when they were akin to human adolescents/teenagers.

==History==
===Past===
====Landing/Colonization====
During the events of Pantala rediscovery (Wings of Fire arc 3) in 5,012 A.S., Wasp discovers Pyrrhia and plots with the othermind on global domination of the Dragon Planet. This event becomes known as "The Catalyst", as this is major catalyst for both humans and dragons to escape the Dragon Planet to somewhere else. The dragons and humans choose a nearby system and go into cryosleep for 15 years. Upon awakening to their home in 5,027 A.S., they refugees encounter a new problem - there is life already on the planets. The natives of the Spheres, fearing what they do not know, perceived these new colonizers as a threat and declare war on them - sparking the War of the Spheres. This war endures for three years before the Treaty of the Spheres comes into existence, ending the war in 5,030 A.S.
==Trivia==
*The AU is loosely based on the concept for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres and the direction L1quid wants Wings of Fire to go into - even though they knows the Spheres is turning into an epic space opera-kind of storyline.
*L1quid's "space dragons" are primarily based on their version of dragons appearing in science-fiction, and what alien versions of dragons would look like.
**Even though author Tui T. Sutherland has said that she wants to do dragons in space in a Q&A (Question and Answer forum) in 2020, L1quid themselves created the concept a few years before Tui even had the idea (due to L1quid's love of the science-fiction and fantasy genre).
----
*Planet Aurora is named after Aurora, a planetoid body in the concept of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres. It is unknown if the planet represents a hidden track or an unreleased song.
*Planet Aurora is loosely based off of the Red Star from Dragonriders of Pern.
----
*Planet Calypso is named after Calypso, the planet representing Let Somebody Go, the fifth track of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*Calypso was originally supposed to be a planet with a few continents (the main environment was marshland), but was scrapped as it wouldn't reflect the artistic rendition of Calypso and it wasn't realistic/practical. In the final draft of the Spheres, Calypso is a water world with giant towers of metal scattered throughout the vast planet-wide ocean, as seen in the BTS portions of the music video of Coldplay/BTS' My Universe, and appears similar to Synnax in Foundation (for visualization purposes).
*The majority of the planet's native flora and fauna can be found underwater. Due to the dangers of diving/swimming in Calypso's deep planet-wide ocean due to multiple factors (large sea creatures, extreme pressures, large city-like coral reefs, etc.), the planet is regarding as "the Lost Continent" (Pantala) of the Spheres. 
**There is also a native population of humans living on the planet, who are descended from the first exploration teams of the Spheres.
----
*Planet Coloratura is named after Coloratura, the nebula representing Coloratura, the twelfth/final track of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*Planet Coloratura is loosely based on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres and Patrick Ness' Chaos Walking series.
----
*Planet Echo is named after Echo, the planet representing Humankind, the second third track on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*For humans, planet Echo is largely based off of Dragonriders of Pern.
----
*Planet Epiphane is named after Epiphane, the planet representing My Universe, the tenth track on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*Planet Epiphane is loosely based on Roberto Ricci's The Red Harlequin series, and the Dragon Planet from Wings of Fire (it's kind of a crossover, but not really).
----
*Planet Floris is named after Floris, the planet representing Biutyful, the eight track on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*In the concept of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres, planet Floris is surrounded by a ring of glowing flowers. As they know that this was done for artistic purposes, L1quid intentionally changed the glowing flower ring to an cirucumplanetary disk made of rocks and planetary debris to make planet Floris more realistic.
*All of planet Floris' cities are named after lyrics in Biutyful by Coldplay.
*The eastern area of continent/planet Floris (the first continent of planet Floris) is heavily inspired by South Carolina, United States of America.
----
*Planet Kaotica is named after Kaotica, the planet representing Higher Power, the second track on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*Planet Kaotica's "vibe" is loosely based on the steampunk and cyberpunk science-fiction genres.
*Planet Kaotica is known as "The Lost Sphere" as knowledge of the planet has been lost throughout the history of the Spheres. However, it is not the "Pantala" of the Spheres.
*L1quid purposefully named two landmarks of planet Kaotica after the concept artists of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
**Planet Kaotica's widely known ocean/sea, the Sea of Scorrano, is named after Victor Scorrano, the artistic director who worked with Coldplay on their album Music of the Spheres.
**Pilar Zeta, planet Kaotica's known western seaside cliffs, are named after Pilar Zeta, the Argentinian artist who worked with Coldplay on their album Music of the Spheres. Zeta is responsible for all the final artistic renditions of the planets in the Map of the Spheres (concept of Music of the Spheres).
----
*Planet Kubik is named after Kubik, the planet representing Alien Choir, the fourth track on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*For humans, planet Kubik is heavily based on northern Europe (U.K., Norway, Sweden, etc.) in terms of climate, topography, and culture.
----
*Planet Ultra is named after Ultra, the planet representing People of the Pride, the seventh track on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
*The storms of planet Ultra are partially inspired by the Arrakeen sandstorms seen in Dune (except that the storms involve thunderstorms, not sand).
*The Storm Bat, a small dragon-like creature native to planet Ultra, are inspired by the appearance of the dragons in the novel Upon Wings of Change (2016) - Crystal Scherer (Wattpad).
----
*"Echo's Moon" is L1quid's name for Echo's moon seen in the concept of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
----
*L1quid thought it best to put Kaotica as a moon, as having it as a planet would change a lot of the worldbuilding they already established (when they initially created the Spheres AU, before putting it on the wiki).
**L1quid later decided to make a planet Kaotica, in order to expand upon the lore and world of the Spheres.
----
*The Neon Moons are named after the Neon Moons, the moons of planet Epiphane representing the tracks Music of the Spheres and Music of the Spheres II on the concept of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
----
*Infinity Station is named after Infinity Station, the "planet" representing Infinity Sign, the eleventh track of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
**However, due to its shape, L1quid decided that Infinity Station should be a station station instead of a planet (as there have been no infinity-shaped planets ever known in existence).
*Infinity Station's "vibe" and purpose is loosely based on Deep Space Nine in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The station is also considered neutral territory among the Spheres.
----
*The only sun of the Spheres, Supersolis, is named after Supersolis, the sun representing Human Heart, the sixth track on Coldplay's Music of the Spheres.
----
*The overseers of continent Pyrrhia, planet Dragon Planet are all named after characters (the Scorching and modern era time periods) who were introduced in Wings of Fire: The Flames of Hope (2022).
*The "dissident camps" on the Dragon Planet are supposed to resemble the gulags of Soviet Russia or other camps in real-life dictatorships where "enemies of the state" are contained.
----
*The prophesized Supernova 7 are intentionally named after the original Dragonets of Destiny and their allies (including the Dragonets of Wings of Fire arcs 2 and 3), as the Dragonets (in the Spheres AU) and allies succumbed to Wasp and the othermind on the Dragon Planet (except for Moonwatcher (canon one) and a few others).
**L1quid intentionally put the Spheres version of Peril and Qibli into the main group as they were introduced and heavily involved in Wings of Fire arc 1. The other protagonists of Wings of Fire were placed in the backup group, and Snowfall was excluded because Snowfall was the IceWing queen when Wings of Fire arc 3 began and Wings of Fire arc 2 ended (dragon queens cannot be part of a prophecy, unless the prophecy specifically involves the queen).
**L1quid intentionally made the Supernova 7 dragonets stolen as teenagers.
----
*There was supposed to be a series on The Spheres AU, starting with The Land Across. However, the series was cancelled after Liquid has lost the initial "spark" to write the series, which was only three books long. The supposed first book of The Spheres, The Land Across, has been turned into a stand-alone and no longer bears a connection to The Spheres AU.
