The world of Baten Kaitos is a world adrift in time and space. Humanity forges its existence on an archipelago of land floating in a yawning, endless sky. The earth below, and the vast oceans it once harbored, are mere legend.

Baten Kaitos Origins World Map

The Baten Kaitos series takes place in a world where humanity lives on a series of island-nations in the sky. These islands are the last livable remnants of a poisoned Earth that was devastated a thousand years ago in the War of The Gods. Magic was once prominent before the Era of the Sky, however over the years the art was lost to much of the populace of the Baten Kaitos world, with only isolated peoples such as the Witches of Wazn and the Children of the Earth still practicing it regularly. Most of the world's population have developed Wings of the Heart, a physical manifestation of the human spirit, to help them in their everyday lives. Various technologies have been developed over the years as well, including Magnus, a technology allowing the "essence" of an item to be sealed in a card-like object for easy transportation, and Machina, machinery designed to replace the need for the power of the heart. There also exists a strange pocket dimension which encompasses the island of Mira and other mysterious powers such as Wiseman and the Dark Brethren left unexplained in series proper. By the end of Baten Kaitos, the ocean is restored and the Age of the Ocean begins.

History[]

An approximately 1000 year span in the history of the world of Baten Kaiots is featured in the series through three eras. Very little information about prior to these eras is given outside of implied history in various Magnus descriptions.

Geography[]

The geography of the Baten Kaitos world can be divided into three main regions: Earth, Sky, and Outer Dimension

  • The Earth, once home to a great Ocean, is mostly barren and
