Wizard City

Wizard City is the first world that the Young Wizard visits in Wizard101. It serves as the tutorial and a refuge for the Young Wizard on their journey to stop the forces of evil. Wizard City was released in September 2008.

Founding
An Avalonian wizard by the name of Merle Ambrose discovered Bartleby in what would become the Ravenwood campus on an unknown date many years ago while exploring The Spiral. The two became fast friends and co-founded both the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts and Wizard City.

History
Not too long ago, Malistaire Drake, the former Death professor at Ravenwood, stole the Eye of History from Bartleby, before blowing up the Death school in Ravenwood (though it is later found mostly intact in Nightside), before going on the run and leaving Wizard City. It was thought that Malistaire was killed in the explosion until the Young Wizard and Merle Ambrose found him breaking into the Golem Tower.

Golem Court
Merle Ambrose summons a young human from a very distant realm in order to aid in the fight against Malistaire's dark forces that have taken over the Spiral. After consulting the Book of Secrets and finding out what their magical affinity is, the newly enrolled Young Wizard is thrusted into action as Malistaire infiltrates the Golem Tower. With the guidance of Headmaster Ambrose, the Young Wizard is able to successfully defeat Malistaire's henchmen, forcing him to flee.

Unicorn Way
Before the Young Wizard is able to have their orientation, Ambrose once again requests their assistance in Unicorn Way, where dark magic has plagued the street and the populace. With the help from fellow Ravenwood student Ceren Nightchant and Lady Oriel, the Warden of the Fairies in Unicorn Way, the Young Wizard is able to track down the person responsible for Unicorn Way's woes; Rattlebones, an undead tyrant who has come back to Wizard City after centuries in the underworld. The Young Wizard is able to defeat Rattlebones and after talking to Ambrose, he deduces that Rattlebones was working with Malistaire.

Cyclops Lane
One of the three streets that Sergeant Muldoon sends the Young Wizard to, Cyclops Lane has been taken over by the Cyclops Legion led by General Akilles. The Young Wizard meets with Nolan Stormgate, who tells them that three other students were supposed to help but had ran away, however it is quickly discovered that they were actually kidnapped and imprisoned in the Dark Cave. Following the liberation of the students, the Young Wizard confronts General Akilles in his keep where they stop the Great One, a ghostly vampire bunny that had hypnotized Akilles on orders from Malistaire. After being snapped out of his hypnosis, General Akilles vows to restore order to Cyclops Lane.
