'''Skyward Universe''' and '''cytoverse''' both referrefers to the as-of-yet-unnamed universe that serves as the setting of ''[[Defending Elysium]]'' and the [[Skyward (series)|Skyward series]].{{wob ref|11965}} It's our own world, albeit in the far future; as such, it's not part of the [[cosmere]]. Alongside [[Earth (Skyward)|Earth]] and humanity, it contains numerous spacefaring species, all of which share a magic system known as [[cytonics]].

The cytoverseuniverse is comprised of two connected realities -- our own and '''nowhere''', an interdimensional "world" with strange relation to time and space. Little is known of nowhere's appearance, though it is home to a type of beings called [[delver]]s, as well as a mineral called the [[acclivity stone]].{{book ref|sky2|25}} Regular rules of physics do not apply there completely, and everything to come from nowhere possesses extraordinary properties. The best-known among them is acclivity stone, which is used to counteract gravity and thus provide lift to all spaceships and space stations.{{book ref|sky2|7}}

TheSkyward cytoverseuniverse is inhabited by numerous sapient species of varied shapes, sizes and configurations. Most appear to be roughly humanoid, walking upright with an even number of limbs. Their sizes vary, with the smallest being only a handspan tall, while the largest are bigger than humans.{{book ref|sky2|13}} Despite apparent physical similarities, they can differ vastly in their biology; for example, the [[dione]] can change their biological sex during their lifetime, while the [[varvax]] are actually small creatures possessing large exoskeletons.{{book ref|sky2|12}} Nonetheless, it seems that some species -- such as humans and the [[UrDail]] -- are capable of producing offspring together.{{book ref|sky2|36}}
