Earthsea

Fantasy world

About

Earthsea is a mystical archipelago, a vast group of islands surrounded by uncharted ocean, devoid of large continents. The largest island, Havnor, is comparable in size to Great Britain. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cold winters, especially in the northern regions. Earthsea's cultures are literate and non-industrial, with diverse populations including the brown-skinned Hardic peoples and the white-skinned Kargs, who ban magic in their lands. Magic is central to life in Earthsea, with an emphasis on balance and harmony. The School of Magic on Roke trains gifted individuals to become wizards, teaching them the Old Speech and the true names of things. The world is filled with magical beings like dragons and sorcerers, each playing a role in maintaining the delicate equilibrium of nature. Earthsea's themes of responsibility and balance are woven throughout its stories, reflecting a deep connection with the natural world and the importance of living in harmony with it.
