Mu

Mu^{[note 1]} was a continent on Earth during the Previous Era that was famous for its technological and cultural achievements. One-sixth of the planet's population lived on Mu,^[3] including the Flame-Chasers Eden^[2] and Griseo, both of whom were born there.^[1]

Mu was also the origin place of the global language used in the Previous Era.^[3] Similar to how Han Chinese characters were used in some form throughout ancient East Asia, this language was a unified language used throughout the entire world.^[4] Even after the civilizations of the Previous Era were laid to ruin by the Honkai, the language of Mu survived in the form of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which passed on both the language and key technological foundations to Current Era civilizations.^[3]

The continent flourished artistically and had many interesting operas, including The Death of the Nightcap King, Three Crabs Roam the Underwater World, and The Pumpkin Kingdom.^[5] Within the entertainment scene on Mu, an ornamental fashion accessory similar to horns was popular.^[6] Of the many entertainers and artists from Mu, the singer Eden was considered the brightest star of her era^[7] and the Mu continent's singer of legend.^[8] In addition to the cultural and scientific achievements of the humans who lived there, Mu was also notable for its unique flora. It was the home of the Violet Helen, a special grape species that was used to make a particularly smooth wine.^[9] A common tree from the continent was known for having three distinct flavors at once, though after the continent's destruction only one of these trees remained, preserved in the Golden Courtyard.^[10]

Mu was destroyed when the 9th Herrscher, known in the Previous Era as the Herrscher of Earth, launched a pseudo black hole at the continent. In a last-ditch effort to save Mu and its inhabitants the scientist Dr. EINSTEIN opened a portal to move Mu into the Sea of Quanta, making it one of the countless bubble universes that drifted within. Though it initially seemed that the people of Mu had narrowly avoided death, the 9th Herrscher had irreparably fractured the core of Mu and critical levels of Honkai seeped into its soil, rendering it inhospitable to humans. While humanity would die out within 50 years, its ELF inhabitants were unaffected. Before humanity was eradicated, Einstein freed the ELFs from the ingrained directives to protect humanity from harm, thus allowing them to forge a thriving civilization of their own on Mu in the tens of thousands of years that followed.^[11] Back on Earth, the violent tectonic activities following the destruction of Mu created the Marianas Trench, where the ruins of the ancient Previous Era city The Deep rested for thousands of years.^[3]
