Arivion

Arivion is a fictional universe created by the British author Simon R. Green, primarily known for his *Arkady* and *Arivion* series of fantasy novels. The setting of Arivion is a richly detailed world filled with diverse cultures, mythical creatures, and complex political landscapes, blending elements of European folklore with original fantasy concepts.

The world of Arivion is divided into several major regions, including the continent of Arkady, where much of the action in Green’s novels takes place. The setting features a mix of ancient civilizations, magical traditions, and supernatural beings such as fae, dragons, and other mythical entities. The lore of Arivion is deeply rooted in its history, with references to lost kingdoms, forgotten gods, and ongoing conflicts between different factions.

Green’s *Arivion* series, which began with *The Last Dragon* (2003), follows the adventures of characters like the dragon-slayer Arion and the warrior Kael, exploring themes of heroism, destiny, and the struggle between order and chaos. The series is known for its intricate world-building, blending fantasy tropes with original storytelling.

While Arivion is primarily a literary setting, its themes and characters have influenced broader fantasy discussions. The world’s mythology and political intrigue have been compared to other high-fantasy works, though it maintains a distinct identity through Green’s unique narrative style.

Fans of the series often engage in discussions about its lore, theories about hidden connections between characters, and predictions for future developments. The Arivion universe remains a notable example of immersive fantasy writing, appealing to readers who enjoy deep world-building and complex storytelling.
