Cloud Kingdom

The Cloud Kingdom was one of the realms before the Merge and is now part of the Merged Lands. It is very peaceful, and tranquility flourishes. Its inhabitants are monks whose main occupation is to write the destiny.

Before the Merge, the Cloud Kingdom could be accessed from Ninjago through the Blind Man's Eye, through use of the Realm Crystal, or if the inhabitants are willing to allow someone to enter.

History

Background

At an unknown point in time the Cloud Kingdom came into existence as one of many realms parallel to Ninjago. The monks residing in the Cloud Kingdom assumed the role of the Writers of Destiny, influencing various events across the realms while guiding rather than dictating their fates. Approximately 10,000 years before the ghost invasion, Fenwick and his brother Quanish governed the Cloud Kingdom. Fenwick held the view that the destinies of the realm's inhabitants should be controlled, whereas Quanish advocated for their freedom to make personal choices, resulting in Quanish's banishment to Ninjago. Prior to the ninja's arrival, Fenwick encountered the Preeminent and consented to changed Morro's destiny in exchange for the preservation of his own life.

Possession

Peak-a-Boo

After scaling the Wailing Alps, the ninja arrived in the Cloud Kingdom through the Blind Man's Eye, seeking the Sword of Sanctuary.

Kingdom Come

The ninja were greeted in the Cloud Kingdom by Fenwick, who explained the nature of the world to them and revealed Morro's intentions to them, before imprisoning them with Nimbus. He then enabled Morro and his allies to enter the Cloud Kingdom after being contacted by Bansha, before leading them to the keeping place of the sword. However, Cole's ghostly nature enabled the ninja to escape and intercept Morro, and they pursued him in an effort to recover the sword. Nimbus briefly interfered with their plans, until Nobu—a Cloud Monk not aligned with Fenwick's treachery—rewrote Fenwick's scroll of destiny to make him Nimbus' target instead. The ghosts and ninja then departed the Cloud Kingdom.

Curseworld, Part II

Morro and Lloyd later passed through the Cloud Kingdom during their battle over the Realm Crystal. Nobu and another monk observed this, but the older scribe warned Nobu that they couldn't interfere.

Between Seasons

The Cloud Kingdom was presumably attacked by the Oni, with all of its inhabitants turned to stone. However the effects reversed when the Ninja defeated the Oni in Ninjago.

Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu

The Kaiju Protocol

While trying to open a portal to the Never-Realm, Wu and P.I.X.A.L. concluded the Traveler's Tea was not strong enough. They add more leaves, and instead, opened several portals to different realm, including the Cloud Kingdom.

Between Series

During the Merge, the Cloud Kingdom was among the many realms that merged with Ninjago. Over time, the Cloud Kingdom integrated with a realm that was home to the Ice Dragons, who relocated to the Cloud Kingdom for refuge.^[1] Ras, at some point, went to the Cloud Kingdom, where he cursed the Scroll-Worms to attack inquirers in order to ensure certain information, including the Merge and Dragon Cores, remains hidden.

Dragons Rising, Season 1

Writers of Destiny

Following a MergeQuake, the Cloud Kingdom was amalgamated with another realm inhabited by tentacled beasts, who launched an assault on the former. The Writers of Destiny were rescued from the beasts' attacks by the ninja, who sought access to the Cloud Monks' archives. However, the Scroll-Worms had been cursed, preventing the ninja from obtaining the information they needed to end the MergeQuakes. Despite the setback, the ninja successfully defended the Cloud Kingdom from the tentacled beasts and closed the MergeQuake that summoned them, preventing the merging of the Cloud Kingdom with the monsters' realm.

Mindless Beasts

Without relying on the Scroll-Worms, Nya eventually found information on the Temple of the Dragon Cores and was lured to a hidden portal gate by Sprite.

Trivia

• The Cloud Kingdom had three known methods of entry: the Blind Man's Eye, the Realm Crystal, and through the use of the portal gates.
• The kingdom's entrance gate resembles the set version of the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, appearing in 70736.
• Tommy Andreasen doubts the Writers of Destiny have control of the Overlord.^[4]
• In Season 10, the Cloud Kingdom was temporarily taken by the Oni until they were defeated.^[5]
• It is unknown whether the Cloud Kingdom affects the other realms besides Ninjago or whether residents of the Cloud Kingdom go to the Departed Realm upon death.^[6][7][8]
• The torso design on some of the monks resembles the Roman Emperor from Minifigures Series 9.
  • This is fitting as the main architectural style of the realm seen is an amalgamation of Japanese and Roman architecture.

• The Sword of Sanctuary guards have the same faces as the lumberjacks seen in "The Invitation" and "Day of the Departed", the same helmet design as the Elemental Master of Gravity, and similar torso armor to Cole ZX. In The Hands of Time, pictured in the Ninjago Museum of History's painting depicting the Battle for All of Time, there is a samurai warrior with the same torso as these guards.
• When asked if the Writers of Destiny are controlled by someone else, Tommy Andreasen responded, "You should get such information from the show if it is relevant."^[9]
  • However, it was shown in "Kingdom Come" that they can change each other's destinies, as Nobu changed Fenwick's destiny to have Nimbus chase after him.
• The Cloud Kingdom resembles the Kingdom of Shintaro, as they are both elevated white and gold locations.
• In Ninjago: Dragons Rising, only one piece of the Cloud Kingdom appeared, with the rest being in a different location. According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, the Writers of Destiny keep assiduous track of where everything is.^[10]
