Magnostadt

Magnostadt is a country that features in Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic.

History

Magnostadt (マグノシュタット, Magunoshutatto) was a small country that was located in the world. Originally, it was known as the Musta'sim Kingdom (ムスタシム王国, Musutashimu Ōkoku) where it was a nation ruled by non-magical individuals but had a large pool of magicians that served them. Despite their power, the magicians were treated as disposable individuals by the ruling classes who sent them to aid in various tasks. These including missions such as conjuring rain to water crops, healing the sickly, helping remove rubble or other such menial tasks. Such assignments often led to the magicians drawing on their own Magoi which drained them and led to highly casualty rate among their ranks after being drained of their life force in the act of casting their spells. Their service to their people eventually did lead to the magicians receiving title and hailed as heroes among the people with this drawing the ire of the ruling elite. Around this time, a plague afflicted the Musta'sim Kingdom that killed many people and where even the healing magic of the magicians failing to stop it. This caused the citizens to blame the magicians for the resultant deaths with the nobility encouraging these views. As a result, the magicians became ostracised by the people they served and forced into exile from the kingdom. Many years later, Musta'sim faced the threat of war from the neighbouring Parthevian Empire leading to the ruling elite drafting the magicians back into service once more to fight as warriors. Seen as disposable warriors, many of the magicians died for their kingdom and treated callously by the rulers of the nation. The treatment of his kind infuriated Matal Mogamett who saw non-magical individuals as being a cruel people and vowed to forge a nation of magicians that would rule their own kind. Thus, he orchestrated a rebellion against the Musta'sim Dynasty where he had the nobility and royal family killed. Among the only survivors of this coup was Princess Dunya Musta'sim who managed to escape where she vowed to return and reclaim the kingdom. In the meantime, Mogamett came to reform the country into the magical kingdom of Magnostadt that was reshaped into a society according to his own vision.

Overview

Under the Musta'sim Dynasty, it was originally a nation ruled by non-magical beings with groups of magicians who were forced to serve the kingdom's rulers. Due to its high number of magicians, it came to also be known as the Magician's Country. It was noted for discriminating against non-magicians who were called goi.

Their society was divided into different tiers which included:

• 1st Level Citizenship : consisting of the high magicians and the chancellor of the Magnostadt Academy with this numbering 500 people.
• 2nd Level Citizenship : consisting of most magical nationals and the students of the magical academy with them numbering 3,000 people.
• 3rd Level Citizenship : consisting of all Gois whose parents were magicians along with those that had technical skills, belonged to the army or worked for the government with them 20,000 people.
• 4th Level Citizenship : average Goi citizens of Magnostadt with them numbering 80,000 people.
• 5th Level Citizenship : the lowest class of Goi citizens who could not pay any taxes and instead were relegated underground where their Magoi was harvested for use by Magnostadt's magical tools with this tier numbering 20,000 people.

A magical barrier was noted to had been created that surrounded the kingdom that kept trespassers out.

Inhabitants

• Dunya Musta'sim : the green-haired princess of the Musta'sim Kingdom who was among the only survivors of the coup that reformed the country into Magnostadt. She came to be an operative of Al-Thamen where she was corrupted by Black Rukh but was freed from it by Aladdin though despite her freedom she died from the damage caused to her body.
• Matal Mogamett : a magician under the Musta'sim Dynasty who was married and had a daughter where he faithfully served the rulers of his country. This was despite the fact that the nobility's demands on the magicians led to the death of his wife whose Magoi was expended from overusing her magic. Despite her death, he often told his daughter that as magicians they had a duty to bring good to the world. Years later, he was drafted to fight in the war against the Parthevian Empire where he saw his daughter die as she fought as a magical soldier in it. This combined seeing how the non-magical nobility treat his kind resulted in Matal rebelling against the ruling dynasty. He was responsible for toppling their rule and reforming it into Magnostadt where the magicians ruled. At some point, he took in an orphaned young girl named Yamraiha who he saw as a daughter and helped train her to be a magician.
