Otherworld

**The Otherworld** is a planet in the Fantiverse. It is the largest and most mysterious planet in the fantiverse, known for its hidden dangers, as well as the birth place of all magic (alongside Tulgey Wood). It is divided into four main lands, including the Otherworld Birthplace, the Otherworld Mainland, the Source of Life and the Legion Fortress. It is the titular main setting of The Otherworld.

## History

### Background

The Otherworld was created alongside all other planets in the Fantiverse by the elements themselves; earth, fire, ice and cosmos. Eventually, these elements were formed into the members of the Shadow Legion, who protected the Otherworld alongside all other planets. However, eventually, the amount of power they had went to their heads, and they began to fear what people with magic could do to them, and had a new goal to find the Source of Life and use it to remake the Fantiverse. The Shadow Legion had the main battleground take place in the Otherworld, being the planet where the Source of Life was hidden.

Eventually, a wizard named Divino imprisoned Clufa, Hana and Altzeroil in limbo, and Zadus in amber. With them all separated, they could not unlock the Source of Life and remake the Fantiverse, forcing them to work for millions of years to escape.

It is unknown just how many humans had accidentally discovered the Otherworld during the time between the defeat of the Shadow Legion and the present where the series takes place. A couple of known incidents include Tom, a boy whose mother was killed by humans, driving him to insanity and a need to achieve world domination to "cleanse" the world. Another is Sahira, a witch who was corrupted by years of mistreatment on Earth, and eventually went to the Otherworld to conquer both it and Earth, prompting her to fight Izan, which led to many events in Arc 1 of the series.

### Animal Society

In the time that humans were absent (for the most part) from the Otherworld, many animals had settled in the area. However, they were controlled by witches who tried to maintain control, and organized into classes. This eventually prompted an animal rebellion led by Romeo, a raccoon.

Eventually, Izan rediscovers the Otherworld and decides to visit there, and discreetly has his cousin, Absar, and his sister, Alba, go there too. This ends up tying them to the rebellion conflict, which puts them at odds with Romeo. After some time of fighting however, they make friends with Romeo, and with the witch controlling them gone, they were free to live a life without classes.

### Global Warming

After the animal conflict, Izan refused to reopen the portal to the Otherworld (both he and Alba needed to be present to open the portal, as alone their magic wasn't strong enough). In this time, however, once Izan accidentally is pulled there, he learns his old foe Sahira has come to the world and started to do her own work here to take control of it.

Absar and Alba eventually go into the Otherworld to investigate, and learn of Sahira. She tells them of her history with Izan, and then leaves. After this, the groups clash which leads Sahira to turn both Absar and Alba to stone. This requires Izan to get a reversal potion. Once he successfully does this, they combat Sahira in a brief but ferocious battle. This ends in Izan as the victor, and she is taken to a dungeon. After this, the global warming in the Otherworld is removed.

After this, Izan and Alba open a permanent portal in their backyard, allowing them to travel between Earth and the Otherworld at will.

### Tom's Battle

#### Live Explosion and Evil Duo

Several months pass, and an Evil Duo is marching to the Otherworld, ready to invade. In this time, they release Tom from his prison, and he frees Sahira. Together, they create a Live Explosion which wreaks catastrophe in the Otherworld. Alba steps in and temporarily unlocks her chaos magic, which allows her to defeat the Live Explosion. However, unknown to them, this is just the first part of Tom's plan.

#### Hunt for the Staff of Night

It isn't until a couple of weeks later that the Qureshy Three learn just what Tom and Sahira are planning, which is to find the Staff of Night. This results in a battle for it, which ultimately ends in Absar getting it and becoming the victor, and Tom and Sahira to be taken to jail. However, to their shock, a bunch of destroyed items are sent to the dungeon, including Tom's old staff, allowing him, Sahira and the Evil Duo to escape, and obtain the Staff of Night. After this, Tom betrays and petrifies Sahira and the Evil Duo.

#### Humans Join

After some time, Tom is defeated and the Staff of Night is destroyed. After this, an eighth of the human population of Earth goes to the Otherworld. This results in catastrophe, however, with humans brutally killing animals, as well as killing a mage, Rath. This ultimately leads to Alba and Izan working to move them to the Otherworld Mainland to keep them safe (and to keep the animals safe from them).
