A little, well, research-preview on my whole "analyzing Disney's Gummi Bears" world:

- The "World":
As up until season two, it seems most likely that the show plays in a part of today's Great Britain (if it plays on our Earth).

- The architecture speaks for either British or mainland European.
- Many of the humans' names are English, Welsh, or the likes
- The gold coins used are called "sovereigns" in one episode. The "middle ages" were from around 500 to 1500, so, it's not the 1817+ sovereign, but the 1489+ one, which fits the "middle ages" time.
- Igthorn uses an hourglass. In and around Europe, these became common around the 1400s

So, just judging from these two seasons, the show plays in ~1500 AD, Britain.

More and changes once I'm further in. 😁

All of this is very barebones and with me having no real historical knowledge. I just wanted to show what kind of information I try to abstract from little things that are mentioned in partially just single episodes and how much Wikipedia stuff I read for it. 😅

All that said, these sovereigns were introduced by Henry VII of England, but I assume even IF the show uses real world locations, it will certainly use a different timeline and thus different rulers, and, well, at least "Dunwyn" doesn't seem to have been a real place.

The name sounds not wrong, though:
"Dun" being the Celtic word for "fort", as used in real cities like the Scottish Dundee or Dunadd and the "-wyn" part COULD come from the Welsh "Gwyn" meaning "White" or "Bright", thus meaning Dunwyn means "White Fort".

This doesn't really help us much, but it speaks for the "British/Welsh location" part.

@BryanGreyson This is the kind of analysis I'm here for.
