In the ''Skylanders Academy'' continuity, more advanced technology appears to be widespread with many real-life institutions being easily accessible and the common usage of cellphones and video projection, though the latter two might be combined with magic.

This article is also viewed at the Spyro Wiki.

Skylands is the main setting in the Skylanders series. It is a magical world in the center of the Universe that contains an endless expanse of clouds with large and small floating islands; each with its own world, inhabited by both normal and fantastic creatures. Protected by the Skylanders, it is under constant threat of evil.

History

Everything in Skylands was created by the Ancients with Mind Magic, first created for everlasting peace until The Darkness was accidentally unleashed. With no known beginning or end, Skylands is a wondrous world filled with magic and mystery, both light and dark. Magic flows through everything in Skylands, from every rock, tree, and beast. It is also home to the Skylanders, including Spyro, who serve as Skylands' greatest protectors. The Portal Masters and the Skylanders protected Skylands and its magical Core of Light for generations, using their magical powers and weaponry to keep peace and balance in their world so that all creatures can thrive.

Throughout the history of Skylands, brave explorers have piloted airships far and wide to see what lies beyond its cloud-filled skies. Some were lost in the Great Black Whirl Storm while others were shipwrecked on strange and dangerous islands. But one thing has always proven true: there is seemingly no boundary or end to the world of Skylands.

Qualities

Core of Light

The Core of Light is a great machine that protected Skylands from The Darkness and kept the world together until it was destroyed by Kaos, allowing him to take over Skylands using the impending evil. Set as one of the main goals in the console version of Spyro's Adventure, it is up to the new Portal Master to repair the Core of Light by finding its missing components that were scattered across Skylands. However in Skylanders: SuperChargers, the Core of Light was destroyed by Kaos' Sky Eater, leaving Skylands without a beacon of light in one of its darkest hours. It was rebuilt in the Sensei Light Realm in Imaginators, however, it now requires the energy of crystals to function.

Celestial Bodies

The moon, as seen in Quicksilver Vault.

Though stars are almost never visible even in its night sky (even if the Dark element is associated with star constellations), Skylands appears to have at least one moon and sun; the former visible in Monster Marsh and Quicksilver Vault, the latter mentioned in Empire of Ice; and both seen at various points of Skylanders Academy spinoff series. The Future of Skylands also reveals that more planets (thus, possible moons) and suns will form in the millenia to come.

Elemental Areas

Different areas in Skylands have different elemental energies. Certain Skylanders will have extra powers and rewards when they're in the area their respective element is stationed at. Some are simply small energies that enhance creatures affiliated with them such as Sunflower Ridge in Perilous Pastures enhancing Tech powers, while others, like the Bleating Highlands nearby, have such strong enemies that the landscape is altered and is closed off from creatures of other elements until its Elemental Gate is opened.

Geology

Many materials that don't exist on Earth can be found in Skylands. Sky Iron is a durable metal used for the creation of shields and other resistant objects; Skylithium is a material strongly associated with crystals; and Traptanium is said to be one of the strongest materials in Skylands with the power to trap creatures inside of it and channel elemental energies. Sometimes, the very ideas and thoughts behind creation can take physical shape, appearing as Imaginite crystals when Mind Magic is unleashed.

Technology

Due to the Tech elemental energies, the technology level in Skylands varies from prehistoric to futuristic, notably with the creation of independent robot AI being commonplace. However, most areas appear to be in a mix of medieval and recent day technology - settlements are towns and fortresses of stone and wood, mechanisms are rarely automated and radio is slowly gaining popularity despite its single station, but electricity and TV screens are seen occasionally.

In the Skylanders Academy continuity, more advanced technology appears to be widespread with many real-life institutions being easily accessible and the common usage of cellphones and video projection, though the latter two might be combined with magic.
