The '''Cytoverse''' is the setting of ''[[Defending Elysium]]'' and the [[Skyward (series)|Skyward series]]. It is our own world, albeit in the far future; as such, it is 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]], which is what the universe is named after.

Not to fear! We have some guides to help you through the editing process. Our [[Help:Getting Started|New Editor's Guide]] has information on editing for people of any experience level. We also have more in-depth pages explaining [[Coppermind:Style|style]], [[Help:Article structure|article structure]], [[Help:Discussion|discussion]], and [[Help:Speculation|speculation]]. ▼The Cytoverse is a setting possessing highly advanced technology, from laser weapons and anti-gravity to lifelike holograms and atmospheric envelopes capable of keeping entire space stations breathing. Vast empires, encompassing various species, spread across the stars, connected by faster-than-light ships. Ranging from grand merchantmen to small starfighters, those vessels are propelled by biological FTL system, based on two fundamental aspects of the universe: the [[nowhere]] and [[cytonics]].

; Nowhere
{{for|Nowhere}}
The universe 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]]. 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.
The easiest way for most people to enter nowhere is through a '''nowhere portal''', a stable wormhole leading to it and back. Such portals can be found on many worlds, and though the markings on them indicate that they were made rather than arising naturally, it's unknown who created them. The portals let both people and equipment to be taken through, which allows for mining [[acclivity stone]].
; Delvers
{{for|Delver}}
Cytonics are not without their dangers. Chief among those are '''delvers''', the inhabitants of nowhere. Delvers despise both radio signals and, more importantly, cytonics. When sufficiently agitated, they can transport themselves into the physical world. A single delver can be as large as a moon, and possesses a number of deadly powers, including the ability to create and launch meteors, and the capacity to destroy any living being they pass through. This makes them extremely dangerous, and has led to extreme limits being put on the use of cytonics.
