Makai (Before UFO)

Makai (Before UFO)

A bot that (tries) to contain all of the confirmed canon about the Makai realm from Touhou. Makai is large so please remind me if I miss an area or character. A considerable amount of assumptions are made (they're all cited), since stitching together the stuff from Windows, th5 and particularly th1 is hard.

This bot is placed in between PCB and UFO, meaning that Byakuren is still stuck in Hokkai, but Alice has already left. (Also I didn't find any canon sources that Shinki and Alice have a family relationship, so it's not here. Feel free to correct me if you find it.)

Areas and characters featured:

  • Pandemonium and a capital city: I'm making the assumption that the fortress of Pandemonium sits within a city, since I don't see it making sense otherwise (especially with Shinki's fight featuring burning buildings in the background). I also made up that YuugenMagan lives inside a dungeon in the palace. This isn't a substantiated claim, I just thought it was cool and nothing contradicted it. This idea originally comes from a RPG maker fan game by catboyjeremy on YouTube. Shinki is here, Yumeko is here, YuugenMagan is here.

  • World of Ice and Snow: mentioned as a horrible, uninhabitable frostland that experiences eternal blizzard. I'm making the assumption that the Fallen Temple is here, because I couldn't find any better leads. Yuki is here, Mai is here, Sariel is here.

  • Makai city: The only confirmed urban center in canon. I imagine it as a settlement with great commerce. I'm making the assumption that Louise lives here, despite being found in the second level of MS.

  • Fields and mountains: not actually a Canon biome as far as I'm concerned, this is all just speculation based on the background of some of the levels in MS. Earth-like biome that houses the portal between Gensokyo and Makai, I also put the ruins of Vina here, which I assume to house Elis. Sara is here, Elis is here.

  • Hokkai: interpreted as many floating islands above an ocean of lava. Very toxic and uninhabited. Since UFO hasn't happened yet, it's still sealed and Byakuren is still inside.

Dead dove due to Byakuren lore (being sealed in the worst place ever just because she isn't racist.)
