Background and History

Mirror-city origins

Aryadovi was originally a Mirror City of Victoria City. Whenever Victoria City was destroyed and rebuilt, another Aryadovi City could emerge within the mirror space. Its different historical versions developed separately, with distinct layouts and surrounding conditions. 25 2296

Luna identifies herself as Aryadovi City's spirit, though she was not originally entirely part of it. Her return to the city restores her memories and drives her to seek its salvation. 14

Gu Xi's claim

Gu Xi first takes control of 0.9 km² of the 2.9 km² city and immediately locks it as a Death City. The claimed territory contains the Council Hall, Water Well, Candle Factory, and a church, while five blocked routes lead toward other districts, Aryadovi Tower, and an unidentified dangerous exterior route. 24

At this point, Aryadovi is a contested territory: uncontrolled districts can attack at any time, but each conquered section automatically expands Gu Xi's territory. Gu Xi and Luna initially prioritize walls and gates over further expansion. 24 25

Aryadovi Tower and the era cities

Aryadovi Tower is the military core controlling the city and the connection point between Aryadovi Cities from different eras. Capturing it opens routes to the Tudor and York Dynasty versions of Aryadovi and provides access to their land, buildings, and resources. 24 274

Anne Boleyn grants Aryadovi the Homologous City attribute, recognizing that its era-based cities share one source despite diverging in style and environment. 609

After the remaining era cities are conquered, Gu Xi activates Death City at Aryadovi Tower. The seven cities fuse into Aryadovi's complete form, with the tower becoming the permanent central core rather than merely an entrance to the Mirror Dungeon. 911 912

Later reconstruction

Following the Mirror Dungeon incident, much of Aryadovi is destroyed or collapsed. Luna's Magic Mirror City can restore a copied state of Aryadovi, while a reversed Mirror Victoria appears behind the damaged city as a new uninhabited urban area. 2296 2297

By Gu Xi's return, the ruins have largely been cleared, districts replanned, and new buildings erected. An Orange Equipment Guardian-Blacksmith improves construction methods, allowing Purple Quality buildings to use fewer materials while gaining stronger attributes. 2373

Architecture and Layout

Aryadovi combines structures from multiple historical periods and mirror surfaces. Its architecture is therefore deliberately heterogeneous rather than uniform.

• The original city includes fifteenth-century stone cottages beside abandoned reinforced-concrete structures from a fused Old City. 84
• The York-era city is dominated by defensible small castles and houses with raised towers, shaped by continual warfare. 813
• Aryadovi Tower preserves overlapping construction from multiple periods, allowing structures that should have been destroyed to coexist with later additions. 276
• The original claimed area stood on Aryadovi's lower-city edge; one route led toward the industrial dock district, while others were blocked by a bridge or City Gate. 30

Principal districts and sites

District / Site	Function and development
Main District	Administrative center containing the Council Hall, core buildings, principal gates, city walls, moat, Hearthstone teleportation point, Carriage Station, and residences for Gu Xi's Contract Undead. 914
Aryadovi Tower	City core, inter-era transit point, fortress, and eventual center of the seven-city fusion. 274 912
Dock Area	An early annexed industrial district with docks, warehouse and market plots, and access to river transport. 79
Demon Plant Zone	Former Middle District, renamed after unnatural plant growth rendered much of it unusable. It later houses the Eagle Catching Spider Nest and Slanted Roof near Evilwood Lake and the Blood Maple Tree. 150 431
Logistics / Market planning	Luna's reorganization concentrates mines, farms, armories, blacksmith shops, laboratories, and enchantment facilities into specialized districts; the Carriage Station and nearby Dock Area form the Market District. 684 809
Satellite and outlying sites	A complete Level 6 dungeon-style city is retained as a satellite rather than fused immediately, while a separate Half a City fifty kilometers away serves as an encampment linked by paved roads. 808 1518

City Attributes and Functions

Death City

Aryadovi was initially an ordinary silent and empty city rather than a Death City. Gu Xi's use of the Death City skill transformed it through Luna's connection to the city, culminating in the complete seven-era conversion. 912

• The Council Hall originally generates 500 Negative Energy Points per day. 24
• The Level 5 Council Hall generates 2,500 Negative Energy Points daily. 438
• Gu Xi can freely enter and leave Aryadovi after claiming it. 24
• Battles in any Aryadovi era are treated as internal conflicts under Gu Xi's city authority. 909

Aryadovi Tower network

Aryadovi Tower links mirror surfaces and historical versions of the city.

• Capturing the tower opens access to previously unreachable era cities. 274
• After the unification war, Aryadovi gains land, water, and sky passages between its eras; only the Sewer connection remains unfinished. 911
• The tower's full activation allows Grand Princess Anna to manage its defensive functions and spatial connections. 609 655
• If the original tower is captured, city resource production and unit-training speed can double. 24

Homologous City

Homologous City recognizes that Aryadovi's different versions originate from one source. Their construction and environments may differ across eras, but they remain parts of the same larger city identity. 609

Internal transport and communication

Luna establishes multiple links between Aryadovi's districts to prevent administration from stalling across distant eras.

• River docks and waterways form one connection route. 684
• Carriage Stations provide a second route. 684
• Connected Sewers and Summoning Towers permit further movement and Soul Shard communication. 684
• Mirrors placed in city centers form a rapid defense communication system. 874

Administration and Economy

The Council Hall serves as Aryadovi's command center. Its map allows Gu Xi to mobilize troops, inspect the city and its surroundings, design building blueprints, and store spoils of war. 25

Luna directs much of Aryadovi's construction, district reorganization, building relocation, and resource sorting. Her work includes connecting separate era districts and developing specialized administrative zones. 59 684 914

Catherine is assigned to establish the city's financial system. Her approved proposals include a local currency, bank, mine, and farm intended to improve resource circulation. 1279

Aryadovi later operates nine armed trade caravans. Each is led by a Hero, includes more than 20,000 personnel and over 5,000 guards, and can carry unusually large loads because its Undead members require no food supplies. 1564
