Terranthia

332

Created by

The world is basically like our own. However, its source of power comes from puns, and Latin nomenclatures.   In this world, there exists magic which works similarly to that of Xanth (Piers Anthony), in that it forms from the puns, aphorisms, and the like. For example, if people of our world say, "piece of cake," when something is accomplished, then in Terranthia, cakes would show up to signify the completion of tasks.   This world is different from Piers Anthony's Xanth, however, in that it is not merely a singular peninsula in the shape of Florida that has magic, but rather the entire world (albeit a small one).   The world is divided by four main continents; in which four different species reside. Gorr: the demon-kin land, Cavilog: the human-kin land, Adarr: the animal-kin land, and Tarren: the land of exiles (where cross-breeds live). Among the oceans between the lands lives the mermaids.

/*In Cavilog there will be a singular Kingdom of Mermaids after the end of book one.*/

 

/*The world in the beginning is divided this way, however as the series progresses, they will slowly combine.*/

 
Magic in this world can be very inconsistent, however there are a few main principles.
  1. Mermaids all have a certain magic power.
  2. Beings of the world are able to breed with others will nearly no negative side effects (excluding the Human ritual of exile).
  3. The demon-kin are unable to possess a full soul.
  4. Humans are magic-less and must rely on magic enchantments or items.
  5. Magic is powered by puns, and/or similar wordplay.
