Territories in The Pendragon Adventure - Ibara

Ibara

Ibara (pronounced /aɪˈbærə/) is the focus of the eighth book in the series, The Pilgrims of Rayne, and is a single, tropical island as well as its own territory on the world of Veelox, set 300 years in the future from the Veelox depicted in The Reality Bug. However, Ibara is an island separated from Rubic City by an ocean. Some people escape from Lifelight to Ibara, led by Aja Killian, the traveler of Veelox. In Book 8, Aja Killian is said to be a hero, but is killed by a Flighter assassin. The new traveler revealed is named Siry, and is the son of Jen Remudi. Siry is a delinquent and he has a band of kids he calls the Jakills, derived from Aja Killian (aJA KILLian).

A Traveler of Ibara, Remudi, was killed by Saint Dane on Quillan. Nevva Winter, the Traveler of Quillan, tricked Remudi to enter the Quillan Games because Nevva wanted to use Remudi as a bait to let Bobby Pendragon compete in the Grand X, the Quillan Olympics. Nevva was on Saint Dane's side all along and her plot caused the death of Jen Remudi.

Ibara is a territory mixing old and new; people live in primitive huts, use blowguns (which double as clubs) for weapons, and simplistic clothing. However, there is some technology present, such as the lighting system, the auto-defense guns, and some of the medicine. The Quigs here are killer bees that glow yellow. Unique things to this territory include the Flighters, savages who are the evolved forms of the people who refused to shun Lifelight (Thus their name, (li)Flighters). They also have a festival called the Festival of Zelin, thought to be a changed form of Zetlin. The turning point on Ibara is when the people there attempt to once again colonize the rest of Veelox, though fail when the Flighters, given weapons by Saint Dane, destroy the ships.

In that sense, Ibara is considered a failure for Bobby and a victory for Saint Dane. However, after the destruction of the pilgrimage by the Flighters, Saint Dane led an army of dados to destroy the rest of the people. This battle was won by the Ibarans, so perhaps the pilgrimage can be attempted once more; the territory is thus often referred to as a "draw".

Towards the end of The Pilgrims of Rayne, Bobby destroys the flume on Ibara, cutting Ibara off from the rest of Halla.

As of Raven Rise, the flume in Rubic City has been unearthed only to be re-sealed by a fallen subway train.
