Revision as of 18:58, 18 December 2013

Aincrad(アインクラッド, Ainkuraddo) is the main setting of Sword Art Online and the many different fan-fictions.

Background

Aincrad is the world set as the stage for «Sword Art Online», declared to be the world's first VRMMORPG in history. It was incorporated in «ALfheim Online» on May 2025.

The base currency of Aincrad is the Col.

Etymology and Meaning

The castle's name came from the concept of a «Realized World», called "An Incarnating Radius (アン・インカーネイティング・ラディウス, An Inkāneitingu Radiusu), which has been abbreviated as Aincrad. It is also inferable that its design is symbolic for time and space. The vertical axis represents time and the circular floors represent space.

Geography

For information about canon's floors and cities click here.

Aincrad is an iron-and-stone made floating castle that has about ten kilometers floor base diameter and consists of a hundred floors stacking straight upwards, meaning that each floor's diameter is a bit smaller than the previous one. On each floor, there are a couple of large cities along with countless small scale towns and villages, forests, plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway links each floor to another, and the stairways exists beyond the boss room of each dungeon. The Teleport Gates of every unlocked cities are connected to one another.

It is possible to climb the outer circumference of Aincrad, but trying to climb beyond a floor that hasn't been unlocked will result in being blocked by a barrier and a visual error.
