Timelines/Magia Exedra

The Magia Exedra Universe is the universe following that of Magia Record in some way. It depicts the Lighthouse Theatre, situated as a hub between different realities and possibilities, and the story follows a Nameless Girl, A-Q and Nighthawk. A lot of details are hinted at, but not confirmed. Such details will be written separately and in italics. This timeline is depicted in:

1. Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra

The Past

• The Lighthouse originally existed inside a specific universe, where it began collecting vast amounts of data from various times and spaces, causing its "magnetic force" to grow so strong that it was pulled out of its original universe and into an "outer place" from which all universes can be observed. It was then tied to too many different times and spaces, making its existence precarious. It serves as a beacon that guides the wandering souls of Magical Girls.
  • A-Q theorizes this happened due to greed, but it is unclear what this means.
• The Lighthouse exists outside of the universe in a place of pure "rules" or "concepts." Here, things exist in their "complete forms," which is explained as a place where "a ball is a ball as long as it can be rolled, regardless of its color or size." The existence of individuals in this conceptual space is "anomalous" and a special phenomenon that could theoretically collapse at any time. The twinkling lights seen from the Lighthouse are not stars, but likely entire universes. The Lighthouse exists in a place where one can "wholly gaze at all the universes."
• Before A-Q, there was another lighthouse keeper. This predecessor might have had the power to foresee that Memsparks would one day be scattered. After A-Q came to the Lighthouse, the previous curator likely left.
• A-Q himself, despite looking like an Incubator, is an entirely different being, and as such cannot make contracts. A-Q is chosen as the lighthouse keeper, likely due to their power to create Labyrinths.
  • At some point in A-Q's past, there were times where he worked with two others, then worked with one single other person, and even a big group. He never tires of studying and learning, and also has a recurring desire for strawberry milk.
• Nighthawk also arrives to the Lighthouse and starts working as a collector and trader of items.
  • Among his possessions, Nighthawk treasures a cookbook filled with recipes, such as tofu Hamburg steak, that belonged to someone else A-Q knew.
  • There's also a childlike drawing of four girls in front of a cherry blossom tree.
• In a massive, ancient collection of books stored in a special room in the Lighthouse, one of the books present is Puella Magi Diarium.
• It is possible that the Lighthouse's function is to archive the lives of Magical Girls, or guide them to the Law of Cycles. As Magia Exedra takes place after Rebellion and Arc 2 (as seen from the appearance of Puella Magi Diarium), the Lighthouse may be what happened to the original Magia Record, with Infinite Iroha having left to possibly help maintain the Law of Cycles after Homura split Ultimate Madoka in half.
  • As A-Q is noted to be able to make Labyrinths in a form similar to Alina's, as well as their interest in art and love of strawberry milk, A-Q is probably what became of Alina Gray. A-Q also states he was previously a part of a trio (the three Magius), then a duo (Alina and Mikoto Sena) and part of a greater group (possibly the entire Wings of the Magius). At the end of Magia Record, Alina makes it a goal to be part of the Magia Record herself, like Touka and Nemu were.
  • Nighthawk bears many associations with Kuroe. Despite Ichizo being the Nighthawk Witch and similar in appearance to Nighthawk, Kuroe also owns a plush very similar in appearance to Nightawk himself. The cookbook Nighthawk owns is likely Iroha's, who owned a similar notebook, as seen in her Memoria. Meanwhile, the drawing of the four girls in front of the cherry blossom is almost doubtlessly Iroha, Touka, Nemu and Ui in front of the Eternal Sakura. Similar to Alina, Kuroe also aimed to go reach the Magia Record, but her reasoning was to see Iroha again, and in Kuroe's last appearance in Magia Record, there's a new Rumor of the Nighthawk, a creature that spreads the gospel of the Magia Record.
