Earth Land (アースランド Āsu Rando) is a world in the Fairy Tail Universe.^[1]

GeographyEdit

Most of the known part of Earth Land is occupied by a very large peninsula, with some isles of different sizes being scattered in the sea surrounding it, and the peninsula itself being linked to the mainland, whose geography is mainly unknown.^[2]

The territory seems to be split into several countries:

• The Kingdom of Fiore, occupying a smaller, secondary peninsula sprouting from the main one, to the west. "Fiore" is Italian for "Flower".
• The Principality of Veronica, a small country located in the mountains north to Fiore.
• The country of Seven, occupying a peninsula northeast of Fiore.
• The country of Bosco, located east of Fiore. It is Italian for "Wood".
• The country of Iceberg, located to the east of Seven, northeast of Bosco, north of Joya, northwest of Bellum and west of the Pergrande Kingdom.
• The country of Minstrel, located to the southeast of Fiore, separated from it by a large gulf with an island in its center.
• The country of Midi, located on a small peninsula south of Mins.
• The country of Desierto, a large region located east of Mins. "Desierto" is Spanish for "Desert".
• The country of Joya, located north of Desierto. "Joya" is Spanish for "Jewel".
• The country of Bellum, located east of Desierto, on the eastern shore of the large lake separating it from Desierto and Joya. Bellum is Latin for War.
• The country of Sin, located on a peninsula in the southern part of the continent.
• The island of Caelum, located in the sea not far from Minstrel's western shores. "Caelum" is Latin for Sky.
• The island of Enca, located south of Sin.
• The Pergrande Kingdom, the largest country, located in the easternmost part of the peninsula, linking it to the mainland. "Grande" is Italian, Spanish and Portuguese for "Big".

RacesEdit

There is a variety of races inhabiting Earth Land:

• Human: the main race in Earth Land.
• Dragon: rare, large and immensely powerful reptilian creatures.^[3] They are known to be very intelligent, and, in some cases, to appreciate humans, sometimes taking them under their protection and teaching them Dragon Slayer Magic.^[4][5]
• Exceed: anthropomorphous talking cats capable of sprouting wings and flying through the use of the Magic Aera. They hail from Edolas, a dimension parallel to Earth Land,^[6] and they were all transported to the latter by interdimensional Anima gates.^[7][8]
• Vulcan: large creatures reminiscent of gorillas, with a massive horn topping their head, capable of understanding human language and speaking a rudimentary form of it.^[9] They employ Take Over Magic to take the form of humans.^[10] They are known to reside on Mt. Hakobe, in the Kingdom of Fiore.^[11]
• Winged Fish: a rare species of fish, gifted with wings which allow it to fly, and capable of breathing air.^[12]
• Wyvern: somewhat reminiscent of Dragons, these winged reptiles are much smaller and more beastly in nature.^[13]
• Goblin: funny little creatures reminiscent of otherworldly rodents, which are capable of wielding makeshift weapons.^[13]
• Celestial Spirits: are Magical beings from their own separate universe, the Celestial Spirit World.

MagicEdit

Magic (魔法, Mahō) in Earth Land is located inside the body of living organisms.^[14] In some races, Magic occurs in all individuals,^[10] but only 10% of humankind uses it.^[15] Magic can be divided into two main classifications:

• Caster Magic (キャスターマジック Kyasutā Majikku): It is Magic which, as the name suggests, is generated and expelled from the caster's body, as opposed to Magic done through the use of a weapon or outside source.^[16]

• Holder Magic (ホルダーのマジック Horudā Majikku); It is Magic that requires a Mage to employ an external source to be produced.^[16]

TriviaEdit

• Bosco is first mentioned in Chapter 1 by Bora. Apparently there is a slave trade in this country.^[17]
• Most of the countries in Earth Land are randomly named. As such, Hiro Mashima has stated that he will try to avoid the story's progress to these countries.^[2]
