Sacred Bird Cosmos

The Sacred Bird Cosmos (神鳥の宇宙, shinchō no uchū), alternatively translated as the "Divine Bird Universe" or "Holy Bird Cosmos", is the name for a primary location in the Angelique series. Many of the stories in the games and alternate media takes place on a planet somewhere within this cosmos. The player can explore one quadrant of its space in Angelique Tenkuu no Requiem.

Like the name implies, its Cosmic Will is an avian life form that best resembles a giant swan. It is the eldest cosmos introduced in the series, and the elder sister to the neighboring Sacred Beast Cosmos. The Queen has been worshiped by its inhabitants for as long as the cosmos came into existence. Her image is glorified in chapels, statues and paintings for as long as anyone can remember. Many of these Queens were previously nobles from the de Catargena family. The cosmos is currently on its 256th Queen.

Multiple planets exist within this cosmos, many of which are known by a broad label such as "Ocean Planet", "Desert Planet" or "Snow Planet". Every planet has a terrestrial ecosystem and is the home to millions of lifeforms. Inhabitants tend to be normal humans who live with multiple flora and fauna. Technological progress and acceptance varies on the planet. The most advanced planet is the Mother Star, the home planet of Holy Land.
