Eldra

Eldra is a toponym used in speculative fiction to designate a fictional realm, continent, city, or planet. It appears in multiple, independent works and is not tied to a single canonical setting. As a result, depictions of Eldra vary widely, though many share a concentration of magic, mystery, and ancient history.

The name is favored in fantasy writing for its sonic qualities, and authors typically develop their own etymologies or treat Eldra as a timeless land where ordinary geography and magical forces intersect. Because it is used by different creators, there is no unified canon for Eldra.

In common portrayals, Eldra features diverse landscapes such as forests, highlands, coastlines, and ruins of an older civilization. Societies within Eldra may include mage guilds, nomadic clans, or centralized kingdoms, often with systems of magic, prophecy, or ancient technology shaping politics and culture.

In media, Eldra appears in video games, tabletop role-playing campaigns, and novels. Each instance treats Eldra as a distinct setting, using its own lore, maps, and characters. The term serves as a flexible backdrop for world-building and narrative exploration.
