Boiling Isles

The Boiling Isles is the main location in the animated television series The Owl House. They are located in the Demon Realm, and inhabited by Witches and Demons.

The Isles were created on the corpse of a fallen Titan.

Authority
The main leader of the Boiling Isles is emperor Belos and the Emperor's Coven, the force that enforces the law, working directly under the emperor. Other powerful figures include the head of the nine Covens, the Isles magic sustaining system.

Magic
Most lifeforms that live on the Isles have the ability to utilise magic. There are nine "types" of magic (the nine Covens), and it is mixing them is considered misuse of it, and is punished via petrification. In order to avoid misuse of magic, all citizents of the Isles have to eventually join a coven. When they do that, they seal away all magical abilities that are not associated with the coven. The only people allowed legally to mix magic are members of the Emperor's Coven.

Students in school have to study one track, which prepares them for a specific coven of the student's choosing. The only school that is known to allow students studiyng multiple tracks is the Hexside School of Magic and Demonics.

History
After the Titan passed away, life started developing on it's corpse. Due to the amount of magic at the Titan's disposal, the lifeforms evolved on it were able to use it too. This is why the inhabitants of the Isles believe that their magic is a "gift" from the Titan.

At some point during the 1600s, a human named Philip Whittebane managed to stumble uppon the Isles, and lived in the town of Bonesborough. Philip wanted to create a portal between Earth and the Demon Realm, and eventually found a substance called Titan's Blood. At some point later, the Isles descented into a period known as the Dark Ages, where forms of magic would often be blended and "misused".

This was the time where Belos ascented into power, claiming that he could communicate with the Titan, and declaring mixing magic as wrong. Belos managed to become emperor, taking advantage of the chaotic nature of the Dark Ages, and, with his new power, he implimented a set of laws so magic could be used the "proper" way. At the time of the show, the Isles are much more peacefull, with the Emperor's Coven sending everyone who doesn't fit the standards of the coven in the Conformatorium.
