The World
The gameworld of the series is called Gloriana and is basically a fairy tale mirror version of Earth. Countries and continents explored in the Games are Spielburg (Game 1; German folklore), Shapeir (Game 2; Arabia of 1001 Nights), Tarna (Game 3; African mythology, esp. Egypt), Mordavia (Game 4; Slavic mythology) and Silmaria (Game 5; Greek mythology). Adventures, Monsters and Story of the games are usually drawn from legends of the respective mirrored region, although there are several cross-over exceptions, like the eastern European Baba Yaga that also appears in the first game.

Famous quotes related to the world:
“The painter ... does not fit the paints to the world. He most certainly does not fit the world to himself. He fits himself to the paint. The self is the servant who bears the paintbox and its inherited contents.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
