This is a map of Hawthorn Haven. View the full map collection HERE.

A map of the land on Planet Delk and the cloudland territory above it, Hawthorn Haven. Worldbuilding information about both Delk and Hawthorn Haven is provided below the cut. Flags are numbered from left to right.

1) PixieCo - A subsidiary of Pixies Inc. As of the 130 Prompt "The Other One," PixieCo is headed by Chief Pixie Smith, with Lambton as his vice president and Calvert as his alpha retinue. Pixies have laid claim to the entire island where PixieCo is located.

The following drones are also transferred to PixieCo once Smith takes command: Roberts, Powell, Fielding, Iyer, Montague, Larson, Glenn, Stamp, Whitaker, Mullins, Tolbert, Stammers, Dimmock, and Michaels.

2) Whitestorm Town - The main settlement where almost all the Fairy settlers live. Note that it controls the bay where the Fairy World merchant ships dock.

3) Fairywinkle-Cosma Cabin - A cabin Cosmo and Wanda built on Delk after being assigned to their Delkian godkid, Jalla. The cabin is a convenient place for Poof to stay if he visits his family and godbrother but is itching for his own space completely separate from their castle. The cabin appears in the 130 Prompts "Watch and Learn," "Temptation," and in Devil's Backbone.

4 + 5) Twilight Point + Iceplunge Village- The settlement founded by Hiccup and the other young Fae.

PLANET DELK Delk is an Alien planet home to several enormous myriapod races. The original dominant species (based on Arthropleuridea) was driven under by the current dominant species: large anthropomorphic centipedes (based on Scolopendra gigantea). Though technically all residents of Delk can be called Delkians, the term is only applied to the current dominant race of centipede humanoids

Long after saying good-bye to Tammy and Tommy, Cosmo and Wanda become godparents to a Delkian named Jalla, who makes brief appearances in "Watch and Learn," "Temptation," Hawthorn Haven, and Devil's Backbone.

Like all planets, Delk itself exists on Plane 2 of Existence. Delk is a third the size of Earth and largely frozen. It is home to almost exclusively white fauna, most of which resemble owls, rabbits, mink, muskoxes, reindeer, arctic foxes, and wolves.

The entire ocean freezes over in winter and completely thaws in summer; during this thawing period, large polar bear-like predators make their way to the mainland while the walrus and seal creatures thrive. Strange deep-sea creatures fill the ocean- you won't find fish easily in this world. The Delkians are very much a hunting people, even as children. They are a matriphagic race; the offspring devour their mother a few weeks after birth.

Fairy World and Delk are neutral to one another; Delk's government is aware of Fairy World as a trading partner and they understand Fairies possess magic, so they are a step closer to Fairy World than Yugopotamia is. However, only Delkian godkids are aware of fairy godparents (Fairies do not advertise the Amity program, which is why their headquarters is tucked away in a decrepit-looking building where no tourists bother to stray).

Though they have their cultural differences and tend to feel uncomfortable in one another's company, Delk and Fairy World would be quick to unite against a larger threat. Both peoples trace their ancestry to a common classification of taxonomy: the order Tylwyth Teg.

HAWTHORN HAVEN

Like Fairy World, Hawthorn Haven is a cloudland colony of the Fae that exists across multiple Planes of Existence; however, the clouds around Delk are very thin and not worth settling on above the main cloudland area on Plane 3. Long ago, fairy godparents didn't always hide their identities from those on their godkid's planet. Unfortunately, adults from several Alien races have threatened the peace of Fairykind in the past.

Ties were severed with those Aliens, but Fairies' concerns about cruel adults still linger in their culture. For many Fairies, the 1st Creature War was the final straw. As humans grew more numerous on Earth, several of them split from Fairy World and ended up in the previously unsettled cloudlands around Delk.

Hawthorn Haven is similar to Hawaii in that it is small and far from the Fae mainland. However, the weather is very cold here (Its summers are colder than Fairy World winters). Other cloudland territories exist in the universe, but the only three that are mentioned in my 'fics are the Fairy World colony, the Hawthorn Haven colony, and the early motherland of the Fae, Elphame.

Up until the 'fic of the same name, Hawthorn Haven was merely occupied by a few skittish Fairies who formed a small settlement and have kept an eye on the planet's occupants. These settlers have few resources since growing food in the cloudlands is never easy, and frozen Delk is hardly the best location for a farm. They are wholly reliant on Fairy World and would struggle if their food supply were cut off.

Because Hawthorn Haven is so far from the Big Wand in Fairy World, Haveners lean towards simpler, less-magical lifestyles than their Fairy World counterparts. The Pixies have taken advantage of this by founding PixieCo, which almost entirely regulates magic usage on Delk and in Hawthorn Haven. With PixieCo as the major player in this corner of the universe, each family of settlers receives a set amount of decent-level magic per year (and a larger amount if they upgrade their package to premium).

In the 'fic Hawthorn Haven, Foop's alternate personality (Hiccup) uses his silver tongue to coax a large handful of Fairy and Anti-Fairy "flower children" to run away from Fairy World and live their adult lives in a new frontier where they can make their own rules. But that's a story for another day...
