Magic City of Ishana

The Magic City Ishana (魔道都市イシャナ ／魔導都市イシャナ), also known as the City of Magic (魔法の都市), is a magic capital of the world.

Ishana was neutral, independent, self-sufficient, self-governing, concealed in a magic barrier lone island in the Atlantic Ocean. It was called the “safest place on Earth” during the Great Dark War. It was a home to the Magic Association and the Ten Sages. It is also the place where the Magic Formula and Arch-Enemy Event Weapons were created. It was designed as Magic City Number Zero “Ishana”.

At the center of the island was located an academy that taught magic, alchemy and basic education. Its biggest purpose was passing down magical knowledge and skills to the next generation. Dormitories were also located in it. The most important building on its grounds was the Sanctuary (聖堂), usually only accessed by members of the Magic Association.

Besides the academy, there also existed other facilities that provided basic needs, such as residences, companies, vigilance system and judicial system.

Ishana was the place for the Six Heroes where they were preparing for the battle with the Black Beast.

In the XBlaze world, the Magic City Ishana is the home to the Magic School and Research Institute Seven of the Mitsurugi Agency’s New Yokozaki Branch.
