Encantadia is an enchanted realm inhabited by a race of magical
Elf-like beings called
Encantados. It was created thousand years ago by five deities Haliya, Arde, Emre, Keros and Ether, who were referred to as
bathala (
Gods) in present times. The world they created was settled by a primitive race of humans called "barbaro". The Bathala then created a caste system to distinguish each race: the ''diwata's
(fairies) of the Kingdom of Lireo; mystical creatures of the Adamyan territory; the warriors and healers called Sapiryans'' of the Kingdom of Sapiro; and the
blacksmiths of the Kingdom of Hathoria. The four kingdoms were thus formed and they worshipped Emre, the greatest of the Bathala. Emre's dominion over Encantadia prompted a jealous Arde and Ether to assassinate him. •
Hathoria – A kingdom in the west of Encantadia; protector of the gemstone of
fire. Originally a fertile land but became a barren wasteland because of the heavy industrialization of Hathoria. It is surrounded by
volcanoes that give their kingdom an abundance of
minerals underground that they use for their war machinery. •
Lireo – A kingdom in the east of Encantadia and is home to the royal blood diwatas; protector of the gemstone of
air. It is located on top of the Eastern
Mountains of Encantadia. A futuristic looking matriarchal queendom that is powered by windmills. It is the home of the temple of Emre. •
Adamya – A former Kingdom in the south of Encantadia; protector of the gemstone of
water. It is an
archipelago surrounded by the Southern Adamyan Ocean. It is the only unfortified territory in Encantadia. It has lush
forests and many seashores. •
Etheria – The fallen empire of Encantadia; It is composed of four Heras or royal houses namely Hera Andal- the seat of Etherian power and home of Ether's temple, Hera Volo- the royal house of Etheria's military, Hera Sensa- the royal house of mind benders and Hera Ae-ga- the royal house of
emotion bending
Amazons. •
Mine-a-ve – In the 2025 series, a new Kingdom was introduced called Mine-a-ve, the Land of
Darkness (
Lupain ng Karimlan), an
ice kingdom ruled by Mitena, sister of Bathaluman Cassiopea. It is located on a large island located east of the continent of Encantadia, north of Encantadia proper (the known kingdoms of Lireo, Sapiro, and Hathoria). Its northern light skies (or
aurora borealis) surround the kingdom and its waters have green light.

nobles,
witches, and
sorcerers. Known for their dark sorcery, soul manipulation, spells,
potions,
poisons, mystic dark chants, and healing abilities. The gem has powerful characteristics and abilities, and is considered as the most powerful relic in Encantadia. Many encantados covet the gemstone in an attempt to rule the realm, driving Cassiopeia to break it into four elemental gems that hold balance to the realm: fire, air, water and earth. •
Fire Gem (Brilyante ng Apoy) – The gem grants its owner the power to control
fire,
warmth and
light. In this sense, the beholder can intensify
sunlight and conjure
fire. This gem has the ability of
shapeshifting into another person. It can also create
volcanic eruptions. •
Air Gem (Brilyante ng Hangin) – The gem grants its owner the power to control the
air,
wind and coldness. In this sense, the beholder can change
air currents, conjure
oxygen in areas without it and transform into the air itself. It also grants the holder the ability to fly and shapeshift into wind. The gem can also be employed in detecting the presence of nearby beings by tracing the sound of their breaths. •
Purple Gem (Brilyanteng Lila) - Also in the 2016 series, a sixth gem
Brilyanteng Lila (Purple Gem) was also introduced, a cube-shaped amethyst used by Emre to tempt Lira with power, along with riches. He said that the sixth gem has equal power to the first five gems. It has the power of balance of nature. The first five gems are to create and maintain, the final gem is for destruction and rebirth. Its powers is to balance all the works (
antimatter) of all the other gems. Lira declined the gem and was kept until now by Emre. This gem is not part of the
Inang Brilyante (Mother Gem). •
Black Gem (Itim na Brilyante) - In the 2025 series, a new gem that introduced was called as The
Itim na Brilyante (Black Gem), is the gem owned by Bathalang Gargan, the god of
destruction. The
Itim na Brilyante appears initially as a massive black stone that can be summoned hovering between the wielder's two hands from their person at will. Once active, the stone splits open into fragments floating together, revealing a perpetually flaming core with its characteristic crest in stone in its very center. This Gem is not a force of life like the
Inang Brilyante and its fragments but is instead a weapon of destruction and
darkness.
Enchanta Encantadia uses a
fictional language called
Enchanta. It can be traced from words like
"corre", to love (from the root "cor" meaning heart) and
"avoya", to travel (voyage).
Mine-a-ve The Mine-a-ve language (Mine-a-ve) is a constructed language revealed for Mine-a-ve, the kingdom of Mitena, used in the TV show Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre, a sequel to the 2016 series. Every Mine-a-vean word falls on the penultimate syllable by default; if not, an acute accent (´) is used. In addition to the
Latin alphabet, the letters č, ň, ř, š, and ž are used for palatalization, resulting in a total of 31 letters. The letter c is pronounced /ts/, similar to the
Esperanto language, but not between hard vowels (a, o, and u), where it is pronounced /k/. The letter k is used to pronounce /k/ in between soft vowels (e and i), or among one of them (e.g., between a hard vowel and a soft vowel, and vice versa). The letters “th” (pronounced θ) and “dh” (pronounced ð), which both of them come from the
Albanian language, are some of the only digraphs in the Mine-a-ve language. The inverted question mark (¿) and inverted exclamation point (¡) are also used for questions and exclamations, which come from the
Spanish language. The Mine-a-ve language is a polysynthetic VSO (
verb-subject-object) language that becomes SVO (
subject-verb-object) when the words
ňe-ha (meaning not) or
eš(k) (meaning is) are used, similar to Enchanta and Hathorkha. Similar to the latter two, the Mine-a-ve language is pro-drop because the conjugations tell who the subject is. It has four grammatical cases, nominative, accusative, genitive, and dative. It also has four genders, namely masculine, feminine, common, and neuter. Unlike the Enchan and Hathorkha scripts, Mine-a-ve uses an alphabet instead of syllables or
abugida. The level of intelligibility between the Enchan and Mine-a-ve languages is relatively low (~30%) due to their unique vocabulary and/or false friends.
Wars in Encantadia Throughout its history, Encantadia is plagued by four major conflicts that threatened the peace of the realm. ==Main series==
