World Neverland lore : Part 2
(Post from my other blog becaus f Wix – 12 july 2023) To see the first article : CLICK HERE It's best to look at this article on its original site, to get the correct layout.
World Neverland and the lands that inhabit it. (so #WorldNeverland and for you @[email protected])
By now you've realised, as I have, that Elnea Kingdom lives in a world with neighbouring countries, and that the latest instalments are part of the same universe. Whether it's Nalulu, Hamoa, Olerud, Plato or Elnea, all these countries have their place in a world that is as yet unknown.
Or is he really unknown?
In fact, while watching the trailers, I noticed that a world map had been given to us during the Nalulu trailer. It's not the best quality, but the idea is there.
So I've decided to gather together all the information I can find about the different places in World Neverland. In other words, this is no new information, strictly speaking, but a collection of everything I can find about the game Elnea Kingdom, with its outfits in the Tailor Shop(android)/nintendo shop(switch)/ others.
So there's a BIG article in here, with lots of items named, so you can find them and check the information I give.
To this end, the wiki (although not entirely up to date in some respects) has been a great help, so a BIG THANK YOU to those who look after this mine of information.
Of course, I'm also using the map I found in the Nalulu Kingdom trailer. Some countries have their location on it, so I've placed a letter. This letter is put in the title of the countries in question.
I hope you enjoy reading this interesting collection of information.
F. Nak Peninsula
It was featured in the Nalulu Kingdom trailer. When you 'translate' the letters with the Latin alphabet, you just get the name NACPEN as in “Nac Pen(insula)”. The name change in the english localisation to become Nak Peninsula.
Nak has a southern border where the clothes from the DLC are often worn during a specific season :
- Summer : casual clothes
- “Pioneer Summer Outfit set: Citrus”,
- “Pioneer Summer Outfit set: Berry”,
- “Pioneer Summer Outfit set”,
- Autumn : casual clothes
- “Pioneer Autumn Outfit Set(blue)”,
- “Pioneer Autumn Outfit Set(Silver)”,
- Spring : casual clothes
- “Pioneer Spring Outfit Set(Pink)”
- White Flower Bonnet : a woman's hat worn in farming communities
- *“Pioneer Spring Outfit Set(Green)” *
- Goddess Flower Crown : made from spring flower
Lugdell is at the southern tip of the Nak Peninsula. Lugdell's traditional clothes are similar to those in the
- “Spring Outfit Set” DLC.
- Lugdell Clothes: Brown
- Lugdell Clothes: Mustard
- Spring Lugdell Kid's Wear: Y.
A much more common casual outfit on the Nak Peninsula is the one seen in the
- “Town-Wear Set(Common)”,
- “Town-Wear Set(Sunny)” ,
- “Town-Wear Set(Royal)” DLC.
E. Olerud Kingdom
It also appears on the map, but is translated as “OLERUD KINGOM”, so it shows that mistakes may have been made on the map. A neighbouring country to the Nak Peninsula, Olerud Kingdom has the Gulf of Akade Sea to its north and the Akade Sea to its south (as shown on its ingame map). With this information, we can find out more or less where the Akade Sea is...
It is said that a dragon wreaked havoc in the Kingdom and the Nation of Devon helped them reconstruct the kingdom.
Their clothes :
- Based on the clan of martial art
- Unranked Olerud Sorcerer
- Unranked Olerud Fighter
- Unranked Olerud Fencer
- The children
- Olerud Child’s Clothing
I'll talk more about Olerude Kingdom in another article once I've translated what I find in the game.
A. Wa Kingdom
Wa Kingdom is on the edge of the Bauma Sea, above the Olerude Kingdom and next to the Wactic Republic of Plato. Looking at the DLC (for switch) outfits and food from Wa, we know it's a country based on Japan. Like the
- DLC CLothes
- “Yukata” DLC, with typical summer outfits,
- “Wa -Japan- Fair” festival clothes.
- “New Year's Set” DLC is another festive outfit .
- Wa's armour is featured in the “Orient Mail” DLC.
- The White Inari Mask : based on a sacred beast
- Traditional clothes
- Green Kimono
- Simple Kimono
- Inspired by their clothes
- Light Yellow Yukata
- Their children wear
- Pale Yellow Jinbei
- Junior Kimono: Bright Yellow
- For ceremony : Yellow Suikan and Sky blue Suikan
In Wa culture, to celebrate children growing up, they prepare either a Wa Oak Leaf Rice Cake or a Wa Bamboo Leaf Rice Cake. Another typical Wa dish is Techiri Stew, Makaboka and Yakatoro. At the start of each year, the Red & White Makaboka dish is prepared to celebrate the occasion. They also have a Wa New Year Box. Original Wa Sakura Rice Cake is a Wa dessert. The two volumes of “Dish of Wa Kingdom” is said to have all the dishes written down.
They believe that Red & White Crustacean brings good luck. They drink Green Tea
B. Topall Archipalego
Almost nothing is known about it, but this archipelago lies on the border between the Devonian Sea and the Bauma Sea.
Which is a bit tricky, given that the location of the Topall archipelago is certain, so the location of the Bauma Sea is certain, but the location of the Akade Sea is also certain because we know the location of Orelude Kingdom. So what's the result? The two seas are virtually at the same location.... So, until I understand or until the north in Olerude Kingdom is actually the south in the world of World Neverland, that part remains a mystery to me.
Baiga Island
Baiga island named Baigar in the Nalulu Kingdom trailer. ( it is the island between the Topall Archipalego and Keldonia)
A Baiga dish is Chilled Cucur. Another dish is the Baiga Helemodarm. Winters are harsh in Baiga, to the point where it is said that words spoken in winter freeze. To celebrate the arrival of spring, the Baiga Helemodarm is cooked.
Gavamekia Federation
In the west of the continent, the Gavamekia Federation is made up of several military clans. Gavamekia has 1,000 soldiers, the largest army in the world. Gavamekia is, however, a nation with closed borders.
One interesting fact is that the Gavamekians love Ramsala to the point of attacking the south for it, only to be repelled by the Wym each time.
Gavamekia has a Magic Academy, and the outfits in the DLC
- *“Academy Mage Wear Set: Lavender” *
- “Academy Mage Wear Set: Sakura” are inspired by the uniform.
During the Imperial period (Golden Empire/Empire Carnet), an outfit from a faraway land was popular in Gavamekia:
- “Red Huashan-style Formal Set”,
- “Indigo Huashan-style Formal Set”.
So this is a formal outfit from another, as yet unknown, country.
One Gavamekia dish is Sauteed Veras. Another Gavamekian dish is Fried Poto and Peppi
Nation of Devon
Devon lies to the north of the continent where Elnea Kingdom is located. It is the land of stone, with the devonic methode to create Myud Stones, and some of the stones used to build the buildings in Elnea Kingdom come from Devon.
After a dragon wreaked havoc on Olerud, Devon sent stones to help rebuild.
Because of the similarity with the Devon Sea, it may be ossible that these two are connected.
Devon is a country where the inhabitants seem to have tea parties, as the DLC “Tea-party(Galphin)” has outfits inspired by tea parties.
The fishermen of North Devon wear warm clothes, showing that the temperature in this region is very low, which we find in the DLC
- “Black Fishing Coats Set”,
- “Brown Fishing Coats Set”,
- “Navy Fishing Coats Set”.
Devon also has magicians, who wear special outfits as shown in the DLC
- “White Wizard Coats Set”,
- “Halloween Costume Set”,
- Brown Wizard Coat,
- Brown Kid's Wizard Coat.
Everyday Devon wear is represented in the
- “Charcoal Devon Coat Set”
- “Navy Devon Coat Set” DLC.
- Devon Coat
- Children
- Red Child's Coat
- White Child's Coat
Devon's winter solstice outfit is shown in the
- “Noel Set” DLC.
Summer traditionnal clothes are :
- Devon Summer Wear: Blue
Surprisingly, this set resembles the outfits found in the Nuit region. So either the two are the same region, or they're very similar (both are possible).
Panay Soupe is a traditional Devon soup. Another typical Devon dish is fish,Pierogi and chips or Panay Roll. Cake House is a Devonian dessert. Pomalo jelly and devonian tea is really popular.
Winter Feast is a tabletop that display Devonian dishes.
(Devon inspired by Great Britain Or Russia?)
C. Keldonia
Keldonia is the largest island in the Reston Archipelago. Because of this, an traditional clothes from Eastern Reston Archipelago may be worn here ( because Keldonia is at the east of Reston Archipelago?) :
- Rookes Clothing
- Sherall Clothing
Nuit Region
The Nuit region seems to have traditional clothes that resemble our stereotypical Christmas clothes, as the
- “Polar Travel outfit (Noel)” DLC
seems to show.
The Nuit region may also be the region referred to in the
- “Blue Northern Fur Coat” DLC,
but we can't be sure. But etherway, there is a “Winter Messenger” which can be a interesting position in those region ?
We also have a sweater typical of this region with the
- DLC
- *“Moss Green Sweater Set” *
- “Dark Rose Sweater Set”.
- Clothes
- Gray Sweater
Hamoa Island
Originating in Opus Waneba Island, the tropical Hamoa Islands are located in the Akade Sea and comprise 6 islands: “Baja, Nei, Makaka, Noosa, Tabi and Chachi”.
The outfits on these islands are very colourful and stylized with flowers, as shown in the
- “Sunflower Cloths Pack Set” DLC.
Traditional farmer dress is featured in the
- “Island Pastel Set”,
- “Island Citrus Set”,
- “Island Breeze Set”,
- “Island Berry Set”,
- “Island Flower Set” DLC.
During the sumer, they wear
- Hamoan Outfit: Pink,
- Hamoan Outfit: Blue,
- Hamoan Outfit: Orange.
The children wear
- Hamoan Kid's Outfit: Pink, Hamoan Kid's Outfit: Blue, Hamoan Kid's Outfit: Orange
These islands have fruits such as the Manana.
The Kelumulu of Hamoa is a dish recently introduced on the marvhé, and is very popular in Gavamekia.
Elnea Kingdom
The Elnea Kingdom was the former location of the capital of the Carnet empire (as the Emperor's Bridge is located there and linked the Emperor's palace).
The traditional dress of this region is represented by the
- “Traditional Green Outfit”,
- “Black Ancestral Garb Set”,
- “Jade Ancestral Garb Set” DLC.
D. Nalulu Kingdom
The
- “Set of Nalulu Kingdom outfit” DLC
is, as its name suggests, outfits from the Nalulu Kingdom. The interesting thing is that this set is defined as the outfits worn east of the Reston archipelago. So the Kingdom of Nalulu is located in an archipelago with other possible inhabited islands.
Kukulia Kingdom
The Qukria Kingdom is called “Kukulia” in Japanese and this name is used in the outfits. It is placed in the southeastern.
The clothes worn in Kukulia is :
- **“Kukulia Clothes” **
- Kukulia Kid’s Clothing
outfit comes from Kukulia (I know, shocking).
H. Republic of Pluto (in the Wakt /Wactic Region)
Kingdom from the Wactic Republic of Pluto, in the now localised Wakt Region. It is near the Wa Kingdom.
They believe in a lot of gods.
Their clothes are :
- Wakt Region Clothing – Mida ( god of magic)
- Wakt Region Clothing – Jimma ( god of combat)
- Wakt Region Clothing – Kork (god of sword)
The children wear :
- Wakt Child's Clothing
Naruelu
Naruelu used to be a health resort, a bit like the Rukos island.
Naruelu is famous for its wine, among other things, as seen in the DLC “Naruelu Wine and Recipies”, so Naruelu Wine is a very popular wine.
Children wear
- Naruelu Kid's Wear: Blue, Naruelu Kid's Wear: Green, Naruelu Kid's Wear: Orange
G. Rokus Island
It was a health resort during the Imperial period, and a great nation lived there. Now it's just a cursed island.
Desarios Islands
We know that these islands are trapical from the description of the local fruit, the Pakamaka.
Jarram
The local fruit is Gaien.
Soh Kingdom
Not a lot is known, but the local food is Kun Pao Fish.
Wym tribe
May be from the Southern Region, because the jewelry and the perfum from there ressemble things from the Southern Region.
Southerne/Southwest Region
There isn't really a name given, possible Wym tribe because it's supposed to be in the south, but the outfits are well known:
- Noble
- *DLC “southern Attire Set” *
- Normal clothes
- **Southern Plain Attire: Silver **
- Southern Plain Attire: Yellow
- Southern Outfit: Green
- Southern Outfit: Yellow
- Southern Outfit: Pink
- Children
- Southern Kid's Attire: Yellow, Southern Kid's Attire: Silver
- “Citrus Summer Dress Set” inspired by southern sea and flower
- Maybe there is a coral reef with “Emerald Summer Dress Set”
The local food may be Ajillo and Gaien Pizza. With the Gaien, it may be deduce that Jarram is the southerne region. The food Tropical Tart could show that Jarram/southerne region is a tropical region, as the fruits are the same. Ihm Tea is ordored from the south.
So yeah, that's more or less most of the information I've been able to find on the different countries. It's amazing how, when you put all the information together, you can more or less imagine the world of World Neverland.
Now all I have to do is translate the old games to get more information.
Incidentally, as a small aside, I've just seen THAT THERE ARE UNFOUNDABLE CLOTHES ON THE SWITCH VERSION? I'm disgusted and sad at the same time... Althi, I hope you'll add them...
In short, I spent 2/3 days on it and now I need to take a break...
See you then!
