| - Aiden's World (or Aiden's Realm) was a place of paradise that was created by Aiden after he lost his wife and child. As a master of yoga and telekinesis, he manipulated people's emotions and beings in order to create statues that were displayed all around his realm. His servant, Garr, once led a platoon of men here, but Aiden extracted their goodness and created numerous statues and pieces of art, that were displayed around his realm. When Xena and Gabrielle accidentally stumbled across Aiden's world, Xena noted that the world reminded her of Illusia. Gabrielle was immeadiately drawn to Aiden upon meeting him, who taught her yoga techniques and made her feel "clear and light." However, Xena was less understanding of Aiden's yoga and peaceful realm, as she began to experience delusions and visions (as well as Alti's vision of death) of her hurting Gabrielle. Aiden warned her to leave before the delusions become real, but she insisted that would never hurt her and stayed. When Aiden began to start the process of extracting her goodness, Xena (who has now transformed into a monster) interrupted the event, but was attacked by Aiden with his telekinesis. When Xena got the upper-hand and eventually killed him, the world collapsed and Xena, Gabrielle and Garr returned to the ordinary world.
