Background / History

Golden Crown Mountain originated during the Pureblood Era as a military fortress intended to shelter alien and Dragon Blood Wizards persecuted by pure-blood humans. Its founders included True Dragon Bloodline Wizards and their ordinary Wizard allies; its three-dean structure descends from the fortress's former logistics, internal-security, and military chiefs. 547 686

According to Witch Catherine, the Golden Dragon Wizard founded the mountain after receiving a prophecy from the Sky-Filling Battle Tree: he would build a mountain where “people will forever stand united together.” He united leading Force and Weather Wizards to establish it. 1016

The fortress was built for complete self-sufficiency during a civilization-wide siege, explaining its emphasis on efficient agriculture and its extensive internal infrastructure. During the Pureblood Era, it openly opposed the wider Wizarding World and survived attempts to erase it. 916 952

Since the Age of Enlightenment, Golden Crown Mountain has developed into a leading agricultural academy. It produces magical grain, advances Breeding Studies, promotes a “no-waste” principle, and serves as a key base for the Wizarding World Agricultural Management Committee. 686

Geography and Appearance

Golden Crown Mountain consists of one large peak and three smaller mountains. The range is a cluster of volcanoes—some dormant and some active—whose magma chambers release subterranean Magic Tide Concentration Gradients. 522 523

At the summit of the main peak, the sun appears to hang directly behind the mountain, forming a golden-red crown or halo. The mountain channels geothermal Magic Tide and solar fire into pure Magic Power, making it appear under Spiritual Vision as a flame pillar linking heaven and earth. 523 735

• Volcanic terrain supports magma-pool fields, rock-carved fields, cloud fields, soilless river fields, and ordinary soil-based Magic Fields. 523
• Vast forests of high-level Magic Plants surround the range; First Ring plants are common, while Second Ring and stronger plants inhabit deeper areas. 523
• Mature peach-type Magic Plant orchards are a defining feature and are renowned across the Three Marshes Land and Eastern Realm. 523
• Flight becomes restricted near the summit, where a powerful pressure forces flying mounts to land. 927

Organization and Governance

Power	Role within Golden Crown Mountain
Senate	Associated with descendants of the ordinary Wizard founders, as well as surviving founders. 547
Academic Committee	Oversees academic projects and reviews; most of its members belong to the Dragon Blood Wizards' secret society. 547
Deacon Inspection Group	Dominated by ordinary Wizards outside the Dragon Blood Wizard circle. 547
Luxu Bridge Academy	Formally distinct but strategically aligned with Golden Crown Mountain at the upper levels. Outsiders who treat them as wholly separate organizations are misled. 547

Dragon Blood Society

Golden Crown Mountain maintains a secret society open only to Dragon Blood Wizards who pass its test. Its protected name cannot be freely obtained or spoken by outsiders without alerting members. 547

The society began as a True Dragon Bloodline organization, though its threshold was later reduced; even a Second Ring Dragon bloodline can qualify. Its members hold substantial influence over Golden Crown Mountain's academic oversight. 547

The mountain's recruitment of Locke Augustine was tied not only to his Cloud Marsh Cup victory, but also to his possession of the Immortal Dragon Scale. 547

Facilities and Infrastructure

Site / System	Function
Twenty-two gardens	Ecological Magic Plant gardens corresponding to the headquarters' twenty-two schools; ancient castles stand within them. 523
Plantations and processing facilities	Includes plantations, Bloodline Processing Factories, constructor sites, galleries, markets, and commercial streets. 523
All-Weather Weather Manipulation System	A Second Ring Weather Mage system capable of controlling clouds, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, breezes, and other stored weather phenomena. 523
Light Energy Distribution System	Flying, sun-like pumpkin devices collect and distribute light precisely among Magic Fields. 523

Dragon Peach Garden	A peach grove and Great Magic ecosystem whose products strengthen Magic Creatures and can compel them to acknowledge the garden as master. 625

Agriculture and Research

Golden Crown Mountain is regarded as a paradise for Agricultural Breeders. Its cultivation practices turn nearly every environment around the mountain—including clouds, magma, rivers, rock, and forest canopies—into usable Magic Fields. 523

Its agricultural output supports both scholarship and logistics. The academy produces major quantities of magical grain, is an essential Cloud Marsh grain region, and considers food abundance necessary to prevent shortages across the Wizarding World. 686

The Twelve Peaches and Six Teas

The Twelve Peaches of Golden Crown Mountain are products of inherited Great Magics. Their names and effects have persisted for roughly a millennium, though their quality has continued to improve through successive inheritors. 625

• Golden Cloud Peach — Allows a Wizard to harmonize with nature, elevate soul essence, and enter a contemplative state; it can improve the odds of constructing Great Magic before a Second Ring breakthrough. 669
• Dragon-View Peach — Produced by Witch Catherine's Peach-Viewing Garden; its fruit, trees, and ecosystem strengthen Magic Creatures' lifespan and wisdom. 625
• Black Hole Witch Peach — Preserves bloodline power from past Golden Crown Mountain Dragon Blood Wizards. 952
• White Phoenix Tea — One of Luxu Bridge's Six Teas and a signature Golden Crown Mountain product. 686

Academic Outlook

Golden Crown Mountain's research culture is explicitly idealistic. It rejects a rigid distinction between “practical” and “void” research, holding that frontier exploration should be guided by a Wizard's interests rather than immediate utility. 532

Its recognized specializations include:

• High-efficiency agriculture and Breeding Studies. 686
• Dragon Bloodline inheritances and Bloodline Studies. 620 665
• Wave Studies and Force School research. 686 1019
• Weather Magic, including large-scale environmental control. 523
• Life School research, including analysis of spiritual reincarnation traces. 738

Defense and Military Role

Golden Crown Mountain's agricultural specialization began as a survival measure: the fortress needed to feed itself while isolated against the entire Wizarding World. 916

Its strategic legacy remains intact. The mountain fields Wizard armies, maintains White Wizard Association Demon Hunter patrols during major events, and equips its First Ring forces with high-performance Pure Magic Plant Wizard Shoes. 602 724

The Black Sun Tower considers Golden Crown Mountain difficult to remove because it once possessed the capacity to survive an attack by the entire Wizard Civilization. 931
