Blytonbury

**Blytonbury** (ブライトンベリー, *Buraitonberī*?) is a city which neighbors Glastonbury.

## Description

Blytonbury is a city inhabited by humans. In the center of the city is a large clock tower with a striking clock bell. The city is home to magical stores such as the Magic Item Cafe. Since the city does not currently inhabit witches, it does not own a Sorcerer's Stone itself so the use of magic in the city is not possible. The city has its own railway station that Akko uses to get to Blytonbury, presumably from London.

Blytonbury is home to the Sealing Stones, where a titan monster was sealed by the legendary witch Jennifer, before the events of *The Enchanted Parade*. The annual Wild Hunt also usually occurs in Blytonbury.

Blytonbury is also said to be where Woodward originally established Luna Nova Magical Academy back in 5th century, though the academy had since moved to its current location after surviving the fire due to Witch Hunts during Middle Ages and subsequent rebuild by Jennifer the Witch in Golden Age of Magic. As latter era saw magic users able to use the art of magic openly and owing to the town's significance as the location of both Luna Nova's original iteration and Ley Line Terminal leading to its current iteration, Blytonbury at the time flourished as much as the academy.

The nearest settlement to Blytonbury is the town of Glastonbury, a town that houses the Glastonbury Tor, a leyline terminal taken by witches to travel to Luna Nova Magical Academy.

## Trivia

* The clock-tower in the center of Blytonbury bears a great resemblance to St. Michael's Church from New York City.
* Although it is never directly stated which English county Blytonbury is in, it is most likely Somerset due to the city being so near to Glastonbury Tor.
	+ Though unconfirmed, Blytonbury is technically a fictional sister city to Glastonbury Studio Trigger conceived specifically for the series out of considerations that stories set in the latter could only carry them so far before they'd run out of potential plotlines.
* Unlike Glastonbury, Blytonbury retains much of its medieval aesthetics in addition of said era's rustic atmosphere as reflected by majorities of its building being made of stone in the way noy unlike Middle Ages-era structures did. As a result, the video wall at the town square stands out too much.
* The working name of Blytonbury during the series' development was **Brightonbury**.
