Geography of Xanth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xanth is a fictional universe created by author Piers Anthony. It is a magical world shaped like the state of Florida. The geography of Xanth is, therefore, very similar to that of Florida. As is typical with the series, many geographical landmarks are puns based on real-world locations. As an example, the With-A-Cookie River is roughly parallel with the Withlacoochee River.

[edit] Castle Roogna

The castle that Xanthian kings live in. Featured in the novel Castle Roogna.

[edit] Gap Chasm

One landmark that doesn't have a Florida counterpart is the Gap Chasm. The Gap Chasm is a deep gorge that bisects the magical land, but does not exist in real-world Florida.

[edit] Mundania

To the north of Xanth is Mundania. Its border is shaped like Georgia's and Alabama's border with Florida.
