Select below to reveal your perfect fantasy world...
Mostly As
Your world closely resembles Earthsea from Ursula le Guin’s famous trilogy of the same name. The books explore the theme of power and responsibility: Good wizardry is in harmony with the world, while bad wizardry will upset the balance with catastrophic consequences.
Mostly Bs
Your world is just like the America in Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. The deities, hailing from all the major religions and belief systems fight it out with the new Gods of internet, celebrity, technology and other modern preoccupations.
Mostly Cs
Your world has a lot in common with Narnia, from C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia novel, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lewis said that Aslan, the lion willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, was an alternative version of Jesus.
