He had originally intended for these paintings to be used in a 25-story "Book of Hours". As the number of paintings increased and the plot idea expanded, he decided the series would require four books (later increased to five) to fully contain the plot and characterisation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Islands_of_the_Abarat">Islands of the Abarat</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Islands of the Abarat"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The series is set on the "Islands of Abarat", of which each is based on a time of day (except the last island, which is based on the 25th hour). These islands are mounted in the Sea of Izabella, an ocean sometimes personified by the characters. Together, they compose what is described as "a limitless world" encompassing "chaotic diversity", called Abarat. Below are descriptions based on statements attributed to the character Samuel Hastrim Klepp, author of the popular tour-guide <i>Klepp's Almenak</i>: </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1:00_a.m._The_Pyramids_of_Xuxux">1:00 a.m. The Pyramids of Xuxux</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 1:00 a.m. The Pyramids of Xuxux"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>"There is no quieter place in the Abarat than at One o'Clock in the morning, where the six Pyramids of Xuxux rise out of the dark and uncannily placid waters of the Izabella". Some have suggested that these pyramids and the <a href="/wiki/Ziggurat" title="Ziggurat">Ziggurat</a> of Soma Plume at 5:00 p.m. were "designed by the same hand and built by the same masons". The writer of <i>Klepp's Almenak</i>, the omnipresent traveller's guide to the Abarat, disagrees, claiming that "the tombs at Soma Plume are calm and curiously reassuring places" whereas the six pyramids at Xuxux are "sites of mystery and tragedy". The character Christopher Carrion uses the pyramids as a breeding-ground for the diverse, monstrous insects known as the Sacbrood. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2:00_a.m._Idjit">2:00 a.m. Idjit</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: 2:00 a.m. Idjit"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Klepp, who never visited it while sober, described Idjit as an island of "immense charm", saying that it "encourages excesses, a kind of happy foolishness". It shares with neighbouring Gorgossium a "spiky, barren topography, [while] storms rage perpetually about the landscape. It has been calculated [Klepp adds] that a visitor to Idjit is more likely to be struck by <a href="/wiki/Lightning" title="Lightning">lightning</a> than a man on the roosts of Efreet is to be hit by bird excrement". The result is either instant death (as in the human world) or <a href="/wiki/Euphoria" title="Euphoria">euphoria</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="3:00_a.m._Pyon">3:00 a.m. Pyon</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 3:00 a.m. Pyon"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Pyon is described as having been "once a quiet island, but no longer. The work of an entrepreneur by the name of Rojo Pixler has transformed the island utterly. It was Pixler's dream (some have said folly) to build the biggest city in the archipelago on Pyon, its light so bright that the darkness of the Hour would be a grand irrelevance". This is Commexo City, a <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas_Strip" title="Las Vegas Strip">Las Vegas</a>-like tourists' paradise whose image Pixler seeks to impose on the entire archipelago, and whose site was formerly occupied by a <a href="/wiki/Mansion" title="Mansion">mansion</a> associated with the Carrion family. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="4:00_a.m._Isle_of_the_Black_Egg">4:00 a.m. Isle of the Black Egg</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: 4:00 a.m. Isle of the Black Egg"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Here "lie the Pius Mountains, a range of needle-sharp crags that are the tallest natural phenomenon on the islands".

She spends her time sewing stitchlings – animated figures of leather and cloth, filled with a substance known as Todo mud ("living mud" from the mines of Todo) – whereby to lay siege to the Islands of Day. Until the third book, she and Christopher were believed the only members of the Carrion clan to have survived the fire that destroyed their mansion on Pyon. In the second book, Mater Motley is revealed to have started the fire so that she might "save" Christopher and raise him alone. When he rejects her control, she attacks him and assumes dictatorship of Gorgossium. She is an ally of the 'Nephauree', a race of extraterrestrial beings desirous to "dictate the nature of magic [until] the end of time". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Zephario_Carrion">Zephario Carrion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=38" title="Edit section: Zephario Carrion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Son of Mater Motley, and father of Christopher Carrion, Zephario was titular head of the family until the fire on Pyon, wherein Zephario himself received severe deformities and injuries.

He later lived as a <a href="/wiki/Tarot" title="Tarot">tarot</a> reader on the island of Idjit, until his readings led him to seek Candy and through her to reconcile with his son.

Finnegan set out to interrogate the dragon's family, hoping to discover the truth behind the assassination; but later exterminated whole families of dragons in revenge for the loss of Boa. He is discovered by several former companions of his and persuaded to join their search to rescue Candy.

He and Candy thereafter travel together until separation on Babilonium. Malingo later becomes captain of a ship crewed by Candy's allies.

Because their magical powers were set into the hats they wore, Wolfswinkel must wear all these hats simultaneously when working magic. Wearing these hats, he is able to perform several feats of <a href="/wiki/Psychokinesis" class="mw-redirect" title="Psychokinesis">psychokinesis</a>, including manipulation of objects, ignition of fires, and the creation of artificial life. Upon the removal of the hats, he loses control of his magic. Wolfswinkel is an alcoholic and is most often clad in a bright yellow suit. He is frequently made to seem ridiculous, both in person and as the villain of a play lampooning his fights with Candy Quackenbush, whom he attempted to give as a prisoner to Christopher Carrion. In the second book, Kaspar accompanies Carrion to the human world and reveals to Candy that she is the reincarnation of Princess Boa. Moments later, Kaspar goes into cardiac arrest and dies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rojo_Pixler">Rojo Pixler</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=42" title="Edit section: Rojo Pixler"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Pixler is an entrepreneur living on the island of Pyon, which he purchased from Christopher Carrion. He is described as a small man with orange hair and suspicious eyes, and is shown in an illustration to have an orange mustache and goatee. He acquired Pyon and began its commercialisation after some time spent as a travelling peddler of toys; during this time, he purchased a <a href="/wiki/Triptych" title="Triptych">triptych</a> stolen by John Mischief that displayed an image of the entire Abarat as seen from above. It is suggested that he used this as a blueprint for his later plans, which include the transformation of Pyon and a similar transformation of the entire Abarat. At the time of the story, Pixler has, with the aid of various magicians and scientists, created a commercial empire and near-monopoly of the Abaratian economy, making his megacorporation one of the Abarat's greatest political figures and causing some characters to believe him a threat to social diversity. In <i>Absolute Midnight</i>, he investigates the resting place of the Requiax only to be possessed by its power and used as its emissary to the surface world. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Commexo_Kid">Commexo Kid</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Books_of_Abarat&action=edit&section=43" title="Edit section: Commexo Kid"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Rojo Pixler's <a href="/wiki/Mascot" title="Mascot">mascot</a>, resembling a small, round-faced boy, created by Pixler in secret at Commexo City.

Jimothi is Candy's friend and a longtime, perhaps hereditary enemy of the forces of Gorgossium. He is described and portrayed as a human-sized, catlike creature with dark orange fur and luminous eyes, and an illustration shows him clad in a blue-green shirt. He is learned in the history and antiquity of the Abarat, and is therefore one of the figures who fear and distrust Rojo Pixler. Until the second book, wherein Ninnyhammer is overrun by Mater Motley, Jimothi and the other tarrie-cats prevent Kaspar Wolfswinkel from leaving the island and are therefore his constant source of frustration. In the first book, Jimothi assists Candy's escape from Carrion's bounty hunter, Otto Houlihan, by distracting him until Candy is out of reach.
