Andros is the realm of oceans and is thusly connected to all the oceans of other realms within the Magic Dimension. It is also the home of mermaids and tritons.

Overview[]

Andros is a planet predominantly covered in water (90% according to the official website) with a few jungle islands that include the island that houses the Omega Portal, Black Island and the Islands of Nadur, Nantros and Guanaco. Many of these islands seem to be volcanic as Black Island, as its name would entail, is covered by volcanic ash, and the Island of Nantros contains a volcano itself. Pirates also encircle these islands, making a few of them into their bases to operate illegally while evading arrest from Andros' royal guards. Abandoned ruins of ancient buildings also rest both above and below the ocean waves which were never explained.

In the comic issue Nex's Test, it is revealed that Andros was not always predominantly covered in water. In fact, it used to be the exact opposite sometime during its expansive history, during which half-women, half-serpentine beings called the Melusina roamed the realm in place of the merfolk, who they were at war with. It is unknown what caused the sudden shift in the realm's geography but, as Andros' landmasses shrunk in response to the oceans expanding, the Melusina began going extinct as due to their weakness towards water. As the Melusina were dying out, the merfolk thrived in place of them until one Melusina was left living alone on an island by Season 6. After the events of Nex's Test, the Melusina have become fully extinct[1].

Society[]

Andros' society is divided into two main ones: a surface society of the inhabitants of dry land and an underwater society of the inhabitants of the sea. Both societies are run by their own monarchies that work in tandem with one another. Both worlds have a good and respected monarchy and good authority.

The Winx Club Comic Series also reveals that Andros has problems with piracy in many parts of the realm. They have difficulty apprehending the pirates involved, especially since they can never uncover the locations of their hideouts and trade ports.

The Surface[]

The palace of the surface kingdom of Andros.

The inhabitants of dry land include the fairies, humans, and wizards. The kingdom is currently led by King Teredor and Queen Niobe, with their only daughter, Princess Aisha as the heir to the throne. Many nobles also reside in the surface kingdom, one of which include Nabu's family, which is regarded as the richest family on Andros. As Aisha mentioned in her first appearance, the royal family of Andros has always been friendly with the Pixies and visits them at Pixie Village every year[2].

The society of the surface kingdom appears to be more conservative and traditional in comparison to most other realms. This can be gleaned from Stella's claims in Season 3, as Aisha responds by claiming that the process of a realm's king and queen publicly announcing a princess' upcoming wedding to a groom that they had chosen and approved of still goes on in some realms; hinting at the fact that the royals of Andros still engage in the tradition. This is later proven in the episode "The Heart and the Sword" where Teredor, Niobe and Nabu's parents arrange a wedding between Aisha and Nabu without either of their consent.

Underwater[]

The undersea kingdom of Andros.

The inhabitants of the undersea kingdom include the sexually dimorphic merfolk: the females being the mermaids and the males being the tritons. They are currently led by Triton King Neptune and Mermaid Queen Ligea, with their children Princess Tressa and Crown Prince Nereus as heirs to the mermaid and triton thrones respectively. Neptune is also the brother of Teredor, the king of the terrestrial kingdom.

Tritannus, the younger twin brother of Nereus, was removed from his position in the royal family upon being disowned by Neptune for his attempts at dethroning his family to seize the power of the oceans for himself by attempting to kill his own brother. Nereus was crowned as heir to the triton throne, which acted as the inciting incident for Tritannus to attack during the ceremony. Even if Tritannus had done nothing, he would have remained a prince as Nereus became King of the Oceans.

While King Neptune commands an army of tritons, it is the warrior mermaids who are tasked with guarding the Omega Portal. Mermaids also served as royal guards to King Neptune and his family as they attended the Council of Sovereigns being held on Domino. The merfolk have wings (mermaids) or fins (tritons) that allow them to fly, as well as leave the water for some time.

Andros' Ocean Gate.

The existence of magical links between Andros and the oceans of all other planets in the Magic Dimension is made as of Season 3 when Aisha had to swim through the oceans of Magix to return to Andros and answer a distress call. According to both Aisha and Tressa, the depth of Andros' oceans does not have a definitive bottom, and Aisha even referred to the Oceans of Andros as the "Heart of All Oceans" when a dimensional shock wave triggered a tidal wave on Magix after Valtor force opened the Omega Portal. These magical links later become known as Ocean Gates by Season 5; each of which is guarded by a specialized Selkie.

Books[]

In Perle, it expound many things regarding the terrestrial and undersea kingdoms.

Terrestrial Kingdom: The palace has ivory colored walls, past the entrance hall is the marble staircase, then a long hall directs to Aisha's bedroom, that is in an angle were the sea and the moon can be seen. For Aisha's birthday, the palace was "lavishly" set up for the party: battalion of waiters and the king's chamberlain worked the whole night; the fountain gushed and suspended ponds were illuminated by soft lights; in the aquarium, zigzagged the fishes of many colors, and the palace's artist had created original festoons with algae and anemone. A white seagull was used to cross many "interdimensional paths" until it reached Gardenia, to deliver a royal invitation. For the Winx visiting, each got their room, and it was prepared a welcome dinner requested by the rulers and the court. The day before Aisha's birthday exterior was described as: at the dawn's pink light, seagulls screech in flight; at sunset, the sun dyes the sea red, as if "painted by the hands of an artist," a "placid sea" with small ripples of white foam and seashell on the sand; at evening, the sea caresses "sweetly" the shore and the faint sound of the sea-breakers was the only noise that was heard.
Undersea Kingdom: Externally, the palace glows with lights. Deep in the abyss, guarded day and night by a school of a hundred white sharks, exists for centuries the Acquarioteca a library that guards all secrets from the kingdom, above and under the sea, said to be more ancient and mysterious that of Domino. Although completely immersed in water, it is specified to be full of perfectly-dry books of all genres, ordered in an immense spiral of shelves that would "turn pale any terrestrial architect." It contained the book Andros: Inimici - Librum Arcanorum. The archeomagic site had evidences about the black pearls.

In the past, one of the kings of Andros was Eidonte, with Ligea as heir instead of her half-sister Vires, which resulted in Andros' Obscure Force prophecy that talked about the throne "usurped from birth" and Andros no longer being if no sacrifice was made. When Ligea and Vires crashes in war, Ligea's sacrifices herself to save her daughter and sister, breaking the prophecy, saving Andros and freeing the mermaids.

In Magic Ocean, the Acquarioteca was called as the secret library of the Kingdom of the Sea, said to house millions of volumes, and contained the Fortune Teller Book (Andros Enemies book).
