Description

Xanth ( pronounced Zanth) is a magical land, not at all like Mundania where we live. Xanth is usually shaped like the mundane state of Florida but that is where the similarity ends. Xanth receives magic from the Demon X(A/N)TH. Before his arrival Xanth was a magic less land just like Mundania.

The Demon X(A/N)TH was trapped deep under the ground and as time passed some of his magic issued up through the ground in a sort of solid fountain that reaches the surface as magic dust, which is distributed by the citizens of the Magic Dust Village.

With the Demon's magic new things started to happen, Dragons and Manticores appeared. Plants began to change (eggplants really started producing eggs, and Shoe Trees really started growing shoes). Love springs started to come into existence, causing otherwise incompatible species to mate and breed new hybrids. So came Centaurs, Mermaids, Naga's, Harpies and many more.

The human people of Xanth developed magic talents, one per person, no two being the same. The range of these talents ranges from spot on the wall (useless talent) to magician quality (King Dor can talk to the inanimate). Xanth is a land filled with puns and everything is taken literally. Dreams are delivered by night mares and babies by the stork (the adult conspiracy will not let children know more about babies). Xanth is a wonderful land of magic where Com-Pewter really can change reality, but we of Mundania can't really go there all we can do is read the books the muses have let slip over to us.
