Lyvsheria

Lyvsheria is the primary setting of *Mighty Magiswords*. It's capital, Rhyboflaven, is where almost all the main characters reside, and became the staging ground for two of the largest-scale battles in the Toon Wars, including the Siege of Rhyboflaven and the Battle against the Toon God. Lyvsheria also became a secondary hub area for the Toon Force during the war; eventually become a second Toon City of sorts following the Final Days. The capital was ruled by the Zange family, primarily by Princess Zange before she seceded for Cattus the Ultimate, who went on to rule the rest of the land.

## Geography

### Mighty Magiswords and Toon Wars

Lyvsheria, along with much of its native locations, was predominately medieval-based with mixed-media, featuring elements from feudal England and fantasy role-playing games such as Zelda and Castlevania. Many areas of the land, especially Rhyboflaven, tend to have wide open spaces for people to wander, surrounded by walls of cone trees and forests. Sometimes, most seen in the show, characters unfamiliar with certain territories are forced to navigate using a map or Magiphones (i.e. the Sheepy Jungles or Dinosaur Kingdom). Notable places like the Dinosaur Kingdom and Transylberia have their own unique themes, taking place either near a volcano or ice-covered mountains. Villages in Rhyboflaven tend to be small and scattered utilizing a mix of modern and medieval buildings and roads.

By the time of the Toon Wars, virtually nothing had changed apart from what certain characters wore until the Siege of Rhyboflaven where much of the capital and some of its outskirts were totaled by the Echo Drones. The Adventure Academy served as a staging ground thanks to its clear surroundings and superstructure for a command post. Nyando and Jimmy Neutron noted that a lot of the city's buildings and monuments weren't durable enough to sustain the damage from the battle. This was due to the weak supports on newer buildings with a medieval aesthetic. Afterward, with Princess Zange's blessing, Jimmy began introducing new technologies to Rhyboflaven using scraps from the siege and his lab to repair everything. However, much of the major changes wouldn't be made until after the war.

In Toon Wars: The Final Days, the entirety of Lyvhseria was used as a battleground for the Toon Force against the Toon God, who's sheer presence was enough to completely erase the skybox and the rest of the world. The result made the Fourth Wall halo visible at the end of the environment, which itself was quickly dismantled amidst the fighting. Once the battle concluded, virtually nothing was left of the cartoon's setting until Jimmy could administer the reality fix from the Fourth Wall Controls, restoring the land and its populace.

### Toon Wars: Legacy

Whereas in the past, Lyvhseria was made to homage medieval societies and RPG's, a vast majority of Rhyboflaven's districts had been upgraded to take on a more futuristic approach, now having cleaner city-structures, taller buildings, and better technologies. These were inspired by the look of Toon City, which also borrowed the same design principles as CN City, taking multiple cartoon styles and blending them into a single environment; In this case on a somewhat smaller scale to stay true to *Mighty Magiswords*. In spite of the abundant changes, certain areas of town like the Boardwalk and Adventure Academy were kept intact (only slightly modified to maintain their durability), while areas like the castle progressively got more advanced. Streets are still noticeably wide and easy to navigate for those on the ground and in the air with multiple curves for turns and an occasional tight corner.

## History

### Mighty Magiswords and Fusion Wars

Eons before the CN and Nick universes could be established, a great warrior created the Final Magisword, serving as the first and last Magisword to be obtained. With it, they defeated a great evil before splitting the sword into multiple others, creating the legendary Magiswords seen in the show. Decades prior to Mighty Magiswords, Centurion, a fusion of people, used the Combiner Magisword to fend against the alien invader Fusion, who took to the streets of Rhyboflaven to lay a one-man siege. She briefly returned following her defeat to cause further damage before being placed in the Knowledge Magisword as a prison and power source. Throughout the show, Lyvhseria was at peace, hailing one of the fighters against Fusion, Kablammica Warrior, as a great hero for her ingenuity. Though common thieves, rogue pirates and small gangs still roamed the streets, even the arrival of Galacton and interdimensional space at times, nothing in the show was a major threat to the land, instead becoming subject to Vambre and Prohyas' antics. It was until Fusion returned for the final time to enact her revenge that the land was at risk, even putting the Earth itself in danger from the invaders' planet buster. Rhyboflaven became the staging area for Fusion to aim the superweapon before her and her master's deaths.

### Toon Wars

When the Toon Wars were established following the immediate aftermath of Crossover Nexus and the Nicktoons Saga, Lyvsheria became one of the Toon Force's primary locations throughout the 5-year campaign. It began with the expansion project following the Samurai Jack Saga, introduced to the Nicktoons by Vambre, Prohyas, and Cattus. Though much of the new members found the place to be boring, Jimmy and Danny saw potential in establishing a base there should they ever need one. Outposts were made for the purpose of listening for Syndicate threats or chances of interplanetary interference. This all culminated with the capture of Princess Zange and Vambre Warrior 3 years later when DeBizz brought his Echo Corp to attack Rhyboflaven as a testing bed for his robot army. After establishing a command post at the Adventure Academy, the Toon Force set about rescuing the captives aboard DeBizz' space factory while also dealing with the drones in Rhyboflaven. There were 3 phases of the battle, using the smaller drones first before deploying the commandos and later the Martyr Towers, which decimated most of town. It took the efforts of almost all of the Toon Force at the time to stop the assault before the away team could rescue the captives and return, destroying the space factory in the process.

The battle led to much of the land to be on alert seeing the destruction toll of Rhyboflaven. However, thanks to the scraps from battle and much of Jimmy Neutron's technology, he was able to install countless repairs to the city in a short frame of time. For the remaining 2 years, Lyvsheria remained the same before the arrival of the Virus Entity, completely erasing the cartoon with hardly any survivors. Snippets of the world returned throughout the Final Days as part of Shadow Warrior's fight and the Toon Goddess' reality reset. However, it was all treated as an illusion until the finale with the Toon God, who used the entirety of the land as his battlefield. Here, Jimmy rocketed him into the Adventure Academy, starting the main duel that sends everyone through the city streets to other kingdoms entirely. Eventually, with reinforcements from other survivors to make an army, the battle escalated to the point where Lyvsheria was completely unrecognizable, totally being annihilated from Bimm's reality-breaking punch to the Toon God. Fortunately, like before, Jimmy was able to repair the damages to it and reality itself by administering the fix from the Fourth Wall controls.

### Toon Wars: Legacy

Following the war's end, Rhyboflaven underwent drastic updates to improve its structures, taking influence from the newly erected Toon City. As seen in Crossover Forces, much of town was still in the process of being transformed since the overall design and style of the new buildings were incomplete. Princess Zange, feeling better off living without the need to run a kingdom, willingly steps down with the intention of picking Cattus as the next leader, which he accepts. By the time he's appointed, Rhyboflaven's upgrades were finalized. Because of Cattus' experience and peacekeeping efforts, the kings and queens of each kingdom made Cattus the true ruler of Lyvsheria.

In Dark Disney, the land's city structures were moved and repurposed for the Disney regime at their metropolis. The planet itself was supposedly left abandoned for decades, aside from a shortlived mining operation where the Adventure Academy stood. In reality, this project was secretly used to install the Elysium Engine; a device capable of brainwashing people on a cosmic scale, preventing time travel, and powering the Disneyverse without fail. Once the Underground learned the truth and confronted the mastermind, Black Hat, at the machine, he revealed that it was the body of Bimm acting as the generator within Elysium, channeling all her cosmic energy long after she passed away. After re-energizing her, causing a resurrection, she killed Black Hat and forcibly reset the timeline to a period where the supervillain was ready to launch for Disney. Max and the few survivors with him succeeded in preventing this future from repeating itself, bringing everything back to their original state.

## Culture

At its core, Magiswords was a modern cartoon with a medieval style to stand out from other worlds in the CN Universe prior to its major modifications. The best example of this comes from the use of Magiphones and the Magiswords themselves, often being depicted as old-looking yet functioning like modern hardware. It's people, with some exceptions, were reliant on Magiswords and their feudal themes to deal with threats that in comparison to those from their neighboring worlds were very minuscule. Vambre and Prohyas became the perfect example of this throughout their lives, collecting Magiswords for the sake of collecting them and using them when need be. But, as seen in the show, these swords were vastly different from the ones made eons prior.

Mercenaries, or simply randomly skilled people on the streets were usually hired to fulfill quests similar to a role-playing title. Hence why Vambre and Prohyas refer to themselves as the Warriors for Hire. Two of the most successful ones, Bimm and Familiar, earned loads of money in the process before they eventually stopped. Whereas for Witch Way, they became rivals of the Warrior duo, acting as the chaotic evil to their chaotic good. In most cases, characters found themselves working in common jobs around Lyvsheria, such as Simone working in a fast food place for a time. Even with standard to harsher training from the Adventure Academy, not many students found themselves successful in a way they originally envisioned. Though this didn't stop them from trying. This is especially true for Simone, who was forced to drop out due to financial burdens from her family but would end up returning multiple times in the future and go on adventures much more exciting than what the others are used to.

Because of the filler-style of the show and its Magiswords, almost none but the older characters were prepared for Fusion Wars nor the entirety of the Toon Wars. However, as Danny Phantom believed in Magiswords Echoes, there are a number of swords that could be very useful if given the right opportunity and not simply used as toys. Life in Lyvsheria surprisingly was the most normal compared to those from other worlds who were forced to adapt to the war. However, people started collecting Magiswords a lot less as a means for conservation. Occasionally, characters would go out of their way to find rumored Magiswords that were said to be legendary and potentially give them to the Warriors for Hire as something to aid them in the war.

Since Toon Wars: The Final Days, a lot of the land looks up to Bimm or someone of a leadership role as gods among men. While originally Princess Zange was praised but bombarded relentlessly by paparazzi (which she would eventually abandon altogether in favor of the Toon Force), her departure and Cattus' rule had shown that several of the populace (to a lesser extent, other shows mainly from Cartoon Network) practically worshiped them. According to Jimmy Neutron, his reality fix made people self-aware only to a certain degree to avoid corruption like those manipulated by the Syndicate. However, he also made it so that people recognized Bimm as one of the ones who defeated the Toon God and found the Final Magisword. All this in mind may have caused the populace to become more submissive to her and her family as a show of honor. Though to her, this is more of an annoyance than anything, much to Simone's humor.

When Cattus the One Blade became Cattus the Ultimate, his position quickly became the talk of every known kingdom in the land. Due to his experience in the Toon Wars, his extensive knowledge of running a kingdom like Rhyboflaven, and his position as representative of the planet, each kingdom of Lyvsheria came together to elect him as the land's one true ruler. This came as a shock to him as he didn't plan to be placed in a position this high. However, taking inspiration from the structure the Toon Force adopted, Cattus made it so that each kingdom ran like always but answer exclusively to him.

## Trivia

* The redesign of Rhyboflaven was based on TRON Legacy/Uprising and Haven City as it appeared in Jak X: Combat Racing
	+ One may also notice one of the towers from the game also appear in Lyvsheria in concept art above.
* Though Frozarburst initially found the medieval style of the show's lands and characters to be boring, over time, he grew to like them for being more distinct compared to the other cartoons at the time, only steadily upgrading it as the years went on in Toon Wars.
* Because of the RPG elements, the Warriors for Hire are often summoned by characters asking for help seemingly at random even if they don't want to.
* In all of Frozar's writing up until The Watterson, he accidentally misspells Rhyboflaven as "Rhybloflaven".
* It's sort of unknown how the economy works in Magiswords. Bimm and Familiar were once paid an abundant sum of money for something (even prompting people to make advertisements for them) while Cattus didn't seem to own a house and the Warriors for Hire couldn't progress beyond living in an apartment. Though Toon Wars: Shorts would clarify somewhat that real world elements are an influence to the land's financial situation, such as Simone's family going into debt or Zange being at a leadership position but never bathing in riches. It can be assumed that, at least come the war, the world was dependent on status more than wealth in of itself.
	+ Speaking of Cattus, to this day, no one knows where he lived in Mighty Magiswords, only randomly appearing in trees around the Warrior's apartment.
* Next to Retroville, Lyvsheria is the most frequently visited setting in Toon Wars: Shorts
