Twisted Wonderland: 5 Homeplaces and Countries I wish to see in futurs “Travel Events“

It’s been two years now since the first Twst’s “Travel Event“ Scalding Sands' Al'ab Nariya was released. In theses events, groups of four NRC’s students goes to explore and discover countries outside of the College’s ground. Event if the unstanding Crimsom Flowers and Bell of Salvation that take place in the City Flowers (XVI century like Paris) and Port Fest : Breezy Brass Beat make us discover the town that separate Night Raven College and Royal Swords Academy are indeed “Travel Event“, I will focuced there on the “Travel Event“ which NRC main characters’s to visit one of them’s homeland.

So there is a kinda of Top five of the homeland/birthplace that I wish to see in futur “Travel Events“ :-)

1) Briar Valley (Malleus, Silver, Sebek and Lilia)

I don’t where to start for that entry...

It’s feels so unreal. It’s just wasn’t so expectating to see Briar Valley and that beautifull tribute Evelyn Earl art for Sleeping Beauty by designning the forest just like he’s. When, at the end of Chapter 7 Part 3, the forest background appeared on screen with this little soft medieval medley, I was crying of joy... before Past’s Lilia show up and Part 4′s releasing. I am currently working on a review centered on Part4′s narrative and lore events, and artistics easthetics (I hope to published it before Part 5 releasing ( There is too much things that I wish to talk about T_T )) but in paralle to give a such turmoil of angst, tears and melancolia, Part 4 give more expectations and for finaly seeing Briar Valley.

I wouldn’t be suprised that some time after the end of Diasomnia Arc, we got a Briar Valley’s Travel Event. Even in the Main Story, the only Valley’s locations that are revelead to us are the forest and a frontier wasteland. The rest of the time we got the area’s map with the charaters in front. We heard and read that they goes into villages and towns... And I thinks it’s on purpose. First, to stay in the dream/memories’s easthetics (some locations are clear in our mind while others, of least importances are shady or blure) but also, indirectly give us, tease us with that countries, so often mentionned by Diasomnia boys, but so mysterious. Like them ( and the others characters) make us care and wanting to discovred their homes.

In plus of the towns and folk only evocated in the Main Story, I wish to finaly see Silver and Lilia’s house, the rest of Zigbolt family, how the relation involted between Humans and Fairies and also modern days Royal Castle ! And one of the castle’s location, I wish to see, is Malleus’s Roses Garden ^///^

According to Malleus's Silk Adorned Voice Lines, one of Briar Valley traditions is the creation of fabrics by spinning wheel. It’s can be an interesting festival. Even if, the fabrication of the fabrics from the transformation of the flax fibers to fabrics will be assist by the using of magic (as is the Briar Valley fairies’s way), the final production’s qualily may be depend of both the imagination and emotions of the group (elements that are the base of magic in Twst Lore) and also the bound between them. It’s can be, like Elinor and Merida’s tapissery a way to restore the bounds between the characters, after Diasomnia Arc...

2) Northern Pyroxene/Shaftlands (Jack and Vil)

We need to talk.

If in Sunset Savanna's Tamashina-Mina, I can understand that he couldn’t take part to the story (I means Leona, didn’t cross your mind that an artic wolf beastmen cannot handle a place so hot !) but Haverston... The whole story is about one of Jack’s trainning... Sledge !!! It’s true that Jack’s intervention could change at some point the story and perphash put some shadow on the team and Epel’s leaderships. I don’t know... But still, it’s been a long time that Jack don’t had his glory’s moment.

More I read, listen trivias and stories about his hometown, his familly, more I wish so deeply to see to discover his hometown. For some reason, it make me imagined it in a kinda place as a kinda Alaska land type, just like in Brother Bear or Disney’s adaptation of Jack London’s White Fang. In theses both movies, and specialy in Brother Bear, we see how, Nature is an unstanding wonder.

I imagine the group leading by Jack participated at some exploration races across the mountains, maybe setting during autumn. And all alongside Jack’s little brother and sister. I think he is the only student with Jamil ( and Idia) to have blood siblings much younger than him. All the others are olders and already having a job. I wish to see them so much ! Who they look !! To know their names ^^

3) Port O’Bless (Sam)

I know ins’t a NRC student’s homeland. It is Sam’s but he is one of NRC’s character ;-)

I loved and still love so much the Princess and the Frog . I remember when I see it for the first time in the movie theater. The movie is so beautiful , the music so entrainante (Down to New Orleans, Friends form the Other Side etc), the story, the charaters, Dr Facilier... Everyting is so gorgeous. I wish so much to see the NRC’s boys go there !

According to Jamil Union Birthday Personal Story, in which we got some informations about the town, Port O’Bliss is the setting of many movies productions. It’s can be an opportunity for the Film Studies Club to goes on location for studing/exploring or even better making a short movie on famous filmming locations ! To make references to New Orleans’s Quartier Français and its legends... In that same Personal Story, we learn, like in the animated movie and real life’s New Orleans, music take an important part of the town’s history. I know that mascarade, and music processions like Port Fest ~Breezy Brass Beat or Crimson Flowers and Bell of Salvation were the main topic but, like for Jack’s potential event, may be there is a way to make a twist of theses topics and bring theses in Port O’Bless’s esthetics.

With Crimson Flowers Event (Let My Wish Resound) and Chapter 6 (Absolutely Beautiful , Ya-Hoo with Everyone!, Piece of my World’s NRC tribe version), we got indeed some songs, but Twisted Wonderland differ from the Disney’s animation pictures. If the characters sung, it’s a performance, planned with trainning and preparation. So, like the Princess and the Frog maked a tribute to 2D muscial animationed movies, a Port O’Bliss event can be the tribute to the game inspiration...

4) The Coral Sea and the Lands of Dawning (Azul, Floyd and Jade)

To be fair, it’s was until I was preparing that post, that I realise that I was wondering about how look Octovinelle’s three unfamous residents’s hometowns and surroundings XD. Until know we know only the seeting of Atlantica Memorial Museum (Chapter 3), in what it’s can be called the Coral Sea’s “Warm Area“ because of the vivid colors of the corals, fishes, water temperatures etc... But it was reveled in Chapter 4 and recently in Chapter 7, that the northern area of the Coral sea is more cold-tempered or completely artic, with the formation of icebergs when winter came. When we take a look closer, we notice that Coral Sea occuped at least half of the map. So much of variations of submarine ecosystems and seafarers’s cultures !

According to Azul in a conversation with Riddle during Ignihyde’s Arc, there is some “intercultural gathering centers“ in the Land of Dawning that can allowed to Seafolk to meet Landfolk. The event can be based on that easthetic, meeting the Ocean and the Shore may be trought a kinda of treasure chase in a shipwreck yard... Prehasp with some pirates’s eathetics.

After Dragons and medieval legends/easthetics, I love sea and pirate’s stories. During the both Halloween Event, thank to Savanclaw theme’s booth, we got some Pirates of Carribean‘s vibes and I think that will be a good mix with a potential Coral Sea based event... or being the topic of an entire event.

5) Kingdom of Heroes (Idia and Ortho)

According to Chapter 6, it was indirectly and directly presented that, the kingdom of Heroes is the twisted version of Hercule’s Greece. We learn, trought the fun video-game sessions planned by Idia and Ortho, about the Legendary Hero’s Entrainer (Phillip), the Legendray Hero (Hercule), a authentic Hydra monster etc... But that all. Just the legacy and all most nothing of the Knigdom itself.

Since Sclading Sand, all the “Travel Event“ narrative struture is based about local festival, like fireworks in Al'ab Nariya, ritual challenge of Tamashina-Mina, or races for Kelkkarotu and White Rabbit Festival. The more close I can get and which is present in the animated picture, the Old Greek Games Festivals, the most famous ones are Olympy’s, Delphi’s or Corinth’s. Theses sportive games where organised to celebrated the Gods and a way to confront in an no-military situastions the differents cities. There was also, artistic festivals and in partirculary theater’s competitions.

But it’s where I am running out of theories. As far I wish to see that location and see a Twisted Wonderland version of Greece, there a tiny, little problematic detail... Idia. In each event there was a true and solid reason to gathering the group that will discovred the country, with ahead the student how is originated from. What could encouraged, no motivated Idia, that dear hermit, to goes there ? Not family’s reunion certainly. A convention with Olympus’s Compagny and playing with Ingihyde’s Big Five Heroes vibes or there is no need of an external motivation. Maybe, it could be the change for Idia, and Ortho, to finaly reach their childhood promise. To discover and explore the World outside and upside Island of Woe...

Twisted Wonderland is a such vast world. There is so much countries and distant lands to discover. Maybe one day we will see Cater, Riddle and Trey or Rook home towns. Some countries are only mentionned like the Kingdom of the Crimson Dragon, the Sunshine Lands or all theses territories that are charted on the map but not ( yet) named. Maybe in the futur, we, and NRC’s students, will goes in a country inspired by Brave’s Scotland, Encanto’s Columbia, Book of Jungle’s India ...

I hope you enjoyed that post. Take care where you are :-)

Isle of Cornelia

The isle where RFA and towns located. It is also where 7 fairies were sent by villains when on the mission.

There is a forest, located somewhere on the island. It is not only an area where animals live, but also a place for travelers to camp or participate in environmental protection activities.

≿━━━━ ༺❀༻ ━━━━≾

Lore

Cornelia was born into poverty and had a difficult upbringing. Her parents passed away when she was young, leaving her to fend for herself on the streets. She was constantly struggling to survive and often had to resort to stealing and begging to get by.

One day, Cornelia was caught stealing food from an enchantress who lived on the outskirts of the city. Instead of punishing her, the enchantress took pity on Cornelia and offered her a place to stay. The enchantress saw potential in Cornelia and decided to teach her magic.

As Cornelia grew older, she became a skilled and powerful enchantress, but she still longed for a place to call home. The war between immortals and mortals was raging and Cornelia knew that she needed to find a safe haven before she got caught in the crossfire.

With the help of the enchantress, Cornelia discovered an abandoned isle where she could start a new life. She used her magic to make the isle habitable and soon called it her home.

As she lived on the isle, Cornelia's powers continued to grow and she became known as the protector of the isle. She used her magic to keep the peace and protect the isle from any harm.

Eventually, Cornelia's blood flowed through the trees on the isle, giving it a special power and making it a sanctuary for both immortals and mortals. She had found her true home and her legacy would live on even after she passed away.

Cornelia's story serves as a reminder that even in the midst of conflict and chaos, there is always hope for a better future. She found her place in the world and her journey from a poor maiden to a powerful enchantress inspired others to do the same.

≿━━━━ ༺❀༻ ━━━━≾

Places

Oceanside Port - A port beside the ocean and the boat that send the tourists come to the island.

≿━━━━ ༺❀༻ ━━━━≾
