Titan is the fantasy world which serves as the setting for the majority of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy and Sorcery! gamebooks and novels. The title contains "backstory on...the villains and NPC's" found throughout the Fighting Fantasy series.[1]

The fictional world of Titan is the setting for the majority of the Fighting Fantasy titles. There are three main continents (Allansia; Khul and the "Old World") and other remote locations such as the Isles of the Dawn and Arrowhead Islands.
Allansia is apparently the largest continent and the setting for many of the earliest Fighting Fantasy titles. The city-state of Port Blacksand (City of Thieves), town of Fang (Deathtrap Dungeon) and the Icefinger Mountains (Caverns of the Snow Witch) are all located in Allansia.
Khul is a continent to the south, and is dominated by the Wastes of Chaos, a huge internal desert rife with monsters. Several of the Fighting Fantasy titles set in remote locations (Scorpion Swamp, Chasms of Malice and The Master of Chaos) occur in Khul.
The "Old World" is the last continent, being a largely civilized land mass divided into several kingdoms. The kingdom of Analand is the setting for the Sorcery! series.[2]
