Encantadia
It is also home to the most powerful warrior of Etheria, Juvila. Amihan is the second eldest and the daughter of Mine-a and Raquim, Mine-a s true love.Later in the series, Danaya becomes the new queen of Lireo. The land of the Diwatas is the Queendom of Lireo, bounded on the east. Their most powerful weapon in war is the Cannon. The most powerful kingdom in the dawn of Encantadia, Etheria is located in the center of the land.
Its last episode was aired on December 9 of the same year to give way to its second book, Etheria. They have a vast plantation and beautiful beaches (for their kingdom is very near to the lake/sea/ocean of Adamya) in their kingdom.
The pilot episode was aired on May 2, 2005. They also produce the best wine in Encantadia. Situated in the Southern tip of Encantadia, the Kingdom of Adamya is the home of the little people or prairies.
It will be entitled Encantadia: Isang Bagong Mundo. Encantadia can be considered a spin-off of Mulawin, another successful GMA telefantasya wherein the Diwatas of Lireo first appeared as allies of the Mulawins. Lireo had 10 Queens during the series. Lireo is considered the most progressive among the kingdoms.
This makes Pirena really mad, so she turns against the Diwatas and joins her evil father Hagorn. It is a battle of three kingdoms against one. The story unfolds in Lireo, the queendom where Ynang Reyna (Queen Mother) Mine-a lives with her daughters Pirena, Amihan, Alena, and Danaya.
In Mulawin, only few Encantadians were introduced and the whole world of Encantadia was not yet known but in this television series, the world of the Encantadia was expanded into four kingdoms and several new creatures and characters were introduced. It was here that they found refuge and peace.
These four kingdoms bear the four precious stones that hold the land s balance. She is the keeper of the jewel of fire and longs to be queen.
The four Sangg res are tasked to be the new keepers of the gemstones. At the start of the series, the ruler was Mine-a who was succeeded by her daughter Amihan.
Amihan also likes Ybaro! Anyways, Danaya is the youngest of her sisters. In the battle that transpired, a majority of the little denizens of Adamya died. On the western border is the Kingdom of Hathoria where the militaristic, vicious and power-famished Hathors abound, it is described as a dark, gloomy kingdom that is also full of decay.
At the start of the series, this vast kingdom was under the rule of King Armeo, his wife and queen Mayne, and his future heir Prince Ybrahim (also named Ybarro). Hera Sensa, located west of Hera Andal, is home to Andora and the other mind-benders of Encantadia.
Imaw s father Aegen helped the extinction of Etheria and became a member of the Council of Encantadia. They are very shrewd and cunning, making them great allies and very dangerous enemies in battle that even the Hathors fear them, but despite these abilities Sapirians are friendly and kind-hearted. The Sapirians are also involved in the founding of the kingdom of Lireo.
Also, in the ancient times, Etheria was the most feared and most powerful kingdom throughout Encantadia. Etheria is divided into four districts, or Heras, in Enchanta. It never lost in the ratings game after that span of time, in December of that same year GMA s Rival network launched Panday to pit against Encantadia and Sugo but Panday failed to dent the ratings of both Encantadia and Sugo thus it was axed after a few weeks of airing.
They have the ability to heal themselves or others of a disease or any kinds of wounds. And Hera Aega, south of Etheria and far from the bustling districts of Hera Andal, Hera Sensa and Hera Volo, is a tribe of the warriors women who can change the emotions of anyone they desire.
This kingdom is the keeper of the Jewel of Air. The Hathorian king and a good number of his followers go to Balaak, their place of multiplication.
Arvak s ancient predecessor, Bartimus, had a hand in the extinction of Etheria and became a member of the Council (Konseho) of Encantadia. The ruler of Lireo carries either the title of Reyna or Ynang Reyna if she is already with sons/daughters.
In that conquest, the Hathors got hold of two of the jewels and used this advantage to defeat the Sapirians who had but one gemstone. The tranquility and future of Encantadia rests on the four gemstones of water, earth, air and fire; each being carefully kept by the bearers from each kingdom. But when the Hathors, from the kingdom of Hathoria threatened to accumulate all the gems from the other bearers, hostility and war swept over the realm.
They have rituals in which the current king would be able to talk with a chosen ancestor. Their skills in war and their powers as the royalty of the diwatas are believed to be the strength of Lireo.
These Heras are homes to the four guardians of the Golden Hourglass. She is the keeper of the jewel of wind and Mine-a chooses her to be the queen.
However, they are more hostile, more cunning and shrewder than the denizens of Lireo. This series aired its pilot episode on December 12, and its last episode on February 18, 2006.
Hathors are known throughout encantadia for their prowess in battle and superior knowledge of the arts of war (only the Sapirians are more cunning and more war-like). They are also the only people from Encantadia who is not blessed with long age.
Surrounded by its neighboring kingdoms, it is the capital kingdom of Encantadia. This also is the kingdom from where Prince Raquim, King Armeo s cousin and Amihan s father, hails from.
Until the war that brought down Etheria, Lireo flourished as a powerful kingdom next to Sapiro. There are four tribes on Sapiro: Sapirians would be later revealed as miners. It is home to the time-benders in Etheria capable of manipulating the pace of time.
It is also the kingdom that rescued the Adamians from the clutches of the Hathors during the time of their conquest. Alena is the keeper of the jewel of water.
They grow old and die like humans. In their battle against Lireo, Hathors were found to have flier commandos. This would explain the riches they have hidden underground the caverns.
This is where Odessa lives. Etheria was reborn by the birth of the last Sang gre, Cassandra, and was destroyed by the four Sang gres, Pirena, Amihan, Alena and Danaya. Lirean society is matriarchal, meaning that women carry a higher civil status than their male counterparts. A Sang gre (Diwata of the royal bloodline) has ruled over Lireo throughout its history, except for two periods: first, between the reigns of Cassiopea and Mine-a, and, second, during the Hathorian occupation of the throne under Agane. A Sapirian of royal lineage can be identified by also the distinct marking, like the Sang gres, but this time, on their right shoulder blades.
But this story tells viewers that powers can also break precious relationships as Pirena had plotted the downfall of her own sister Amihan, who won the competition for the Lirean crown, and the other Sangg res Danaya and Alena took Amihan s side. With this situation, Lira, the long lost daughter of Amihan returned to Encantadia and tried to fulfill her mission of mending the broken relationships of the strong-willed gemstone keepers. The story revolves around the four Sang gres of Lireo, the center of worship in Encantadia - Pirena, Amihan, Alena, and Danaya. The queendom of Lireo,the kingdom Sapiro, Adamya, and Hathoria.
Sapirians also have incredible strength, which they draw all their powers from. Hera Andal, citadel of Etheria and center of medicine in the kingdom, is led by the powerful Queen Avria.
It is home to many dangerous beings, bounded by treacherous terrains and caverns. The head of Lireo carries the title of Reyna (or Ynang Reyna if already a mother). There have been 11 instituted rulers of Lireo since its founding.
But Arvak was killed by Prince Raquim, regained the gemstones and gave it to his wife Queen Mine-a of Lireo for safeskeeping. The whole kingdom was destroyed in that battle.
The kingdom is headed by its wise and faithful ruler Imaw, who possesses a staff that enables him to look into the past of a particular person it can also enable him to see current events he can also wield its awesome powers (it seems that the staff is a kind of history book compressed into a single object). They have the tallest towers and also seem to have cable cars in the palace.
There will be a fourth installment of the Encantadia saga in October 2010. Armeo s father, King Meno, helped the extinction of Etheria and became a member of the Council of Encantadia.
After Arvak died during the fall of Sapiro, his son and successor Hagorn ascended the throne and continued his work. Hathors multiply every time Encantadia s two moons are simultaneously full. Also, the King is allowed to fall in love and marry as many wives as he likes (more likely near the establishment of the Oriental harem). The series was created by GMA Network, the same network that produced the telefantasyas Mulawin and Darna.
The anointed Hathors are then left inside Balaak for seven days to spontaneously multiply. Hathors are known to be the most spiritually connected with their ancestors. She falls in love with a man named Ybaro, who turns out to be the prince of the fallen kingdom of Sapiro, whose real name is Ybrahim.
Their armies are the only ones who have Sasakyang Panghimpapawid (Airships). The third and latest installment of the Encantadia saga, entitled Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas, aired its pilot on February 20, 2006, but it was apparently not a last installment.
This marking resembles the symbol of Sapiro (the gem of earth) after the cleaving of the Jewel. Sapirian society is in the traditional patriarchal system and only male Sapirians in the patriarchan royal line may ascend the throne. However, it seems that the timelines between the two shows do not connect together even though they share some characters and some story elements.
Cassiopea helped, reluctantly using the Jewel, with the extinction of Etheria and later became a representative of Lireo at the Council of Encantadia. Proof of this is the fact that only a female sang gre in the matriarch s line may ascend the throne and that the Ynang Reyna is forbidden to fall in love and marry or take a husband.
They seem to only gather food every time without a care in the world. During one of Encantadia s most turbulent epoch, the Kingdom of Adamya was overpowered by the Hathors conquest to seize the Water Gem from its keeper. The head of Sapiro carries the title of Hari ng Sapiro (King of Sapiro).
She is the keeper of the jewel of earth and is a feisty girl who never liked Pirena. Cassiopeia declared it Lireo.
So far, there are only two known surviving Sapirians from the Royal House: Ybrahim, the next heir to the throne, and Asval, a strange and mysterious warrior (whose real loyalties are uncertain and turned out to be a traitor) who was always with his two accomplices Bandok and Axilom. The Sapirians are closely similar to the Diwatas, they can also teleport themselves to another place and shoot out blast bolts from their hands. The land of valiant, shrewd and cunning warriors, the Sapirians.
This was confirmed already by GMA Network itself. Among all soap operas in the Philippines has the highest ratings of 45% average (usually 40% above) according to AGB, a local media research firm. Family Feud · Ikaw Sana · 24 Oras · Darna · The Last Prince · Full House · Queen Seon Deok .
Their most powerful weapon of war is the Katapulto (fire catapult). On the Northern part of Encantadia is the Kingdom of Sapiro. These small yet intelligent creatures are called Adamians and are the keepers of the Jewel of Water.
This means the eldest son of the king is next in line to rule the mystical kingdom. The writer mentioned that Encantadia has its own story and is not related to the storyline of the Mulawin TV series. Encantadia was first mentioned in Mulawin as a separate dimension where the encantados (enchanted beings) and diwatas live.
Only Mahiwagang Puso was released commercially through the Tunog Kapuso album released by GMA Records. However, here is a partial list of soundtrack being played in the series: Note: (*) Some of the lyrics from Isang Bagong Mundo is same as Pangarap Ni Lira . In July 2005, according to AGB Nielsen Media Research, Encantadia topped primetime ratings by earning 22.6% in total individual charts and a chunk rating of 40%, overtaking Darna, Sugo and Kampanerang Kuba. But there is some drama..
It is located in the center of Etheria. In contrast to Lirean royalty, Sapirian royalty is very much akin to the traditional patriarchal definition of an absolute monarchy.
The land where Lireo stands was once a forest where Prince Raquim brought the Diwatas to hide under Evades protection during Queen Avria s great purge against the Diwatas. Encantadia was only beaten by Darna on June.
They are also proficient in hand-to-hand combat. Hera Volo, source of Hera Andal s warriors, is located just a little west from the Lireo-Etheria boundary.
The wise, strong, brave and powerful Cassiopea was the first ruler and founder of Lireo. Its dissidents, the Adamyans, are also friends to the two other dissidents in Encantadia as well as to the Mandirigmas particularly because of their friendly nature and great wisdom. The Adamyans are also known for being hard working farmers.
There the King performs a ritual wherein his blood is drunk by Hathors. Pirena is the eldest daughter of Mine-a, the queen of Lireo, and Hagorn, the main antoganist of the story.
They are the keepers of the Jewel of Fire. As long as the gemstones are kept properly, the balance of nature in Encantadia remains.
The Sapirian king is allowed to love whoever he wants to love and choose his wife but the difference from the Diwatas is that their race is dominated by men. The Sapirians are best known for their unmatched skills in swordsmanship and archery. Their kingdom is obviously powered by a large windmill.
These units were equipped with skydiving gears to attack and board Lirean airships. The series garnered both popular and critical recognition at home and abroad, including winning the 2005 Teleserye (Television Series) of the Year at the Los Angeles-based Gawad Amerika Awards.
King Armeo was also killed later in the fight with King Arvak, the Hathorian king at that time and the father of the present king Hagorn. It was dubbed as the grandest, most ambitious, and most expensive production for Philippine television.
Encantadia is a Filipino fantasy television series (locally known as telefantasya) produced by GMA Network. Alena is the third eldest daughter of Mine-a (Alena and Danaya s father is not revealed until Etheria).
During the latter half of his reign, the Hathorian King Arvak embarked on a campaign of conquest to steal all four elemental jewels that would signal the start of a chaotic era in the history of Encantadia. Its denizens are well-gifted, not only in healing, but also in using disease and illness in war.
Also, in Mulawin, it appears that only Diwatas can create a portal between Encantadia and the human world but in this series the Tree of Asnamon serves as a portal between the two worlds to anyone who holds the magical medallion. Encantadia is a term coined from the Filipino words enkanto , enkanta , enkantada , or enkantado (which was in turn derived from the Spanish term) which means enchanted beings endowed with supernatural powers. In the show, Encantadia is a vast enchanted realm comprising of four divided kingdoms where different mythical entities thrive. This kingdom is the original keeper of the Jewel of Earth, the land blessed with precious metals and stones and its soil fertile enough for crops to grow.
It was directed by Mark Reyes and Gil Tejada, Jr., and written by Suzette Doctolero. The series was originally intended as GMA Films entry to the 2004 Metro Manila Film Festival but they later decided to make Encantadia a daily fantasy soap opera. According to Mark Reyes, the sets of Encantadia are located in various places in the Philippines. There is no original soundtrack (OST) yet for Encantadia.
