Erilea

Erilea is a fictional continent that serves as the primary setting for Sarah J. Maas's popular young adult fantasy series, Throne of Glass and its companion series, Crescent City. The continent is vast and diverse, encompassing numerous kingdoms, cultures, and geographical landscapes. It is a world shaped by magic, ancient history, and ongoing political struggles.

The most prominent kingdom within Erilea in the early books of the Throne of Glass series is Terrasen, known for its proud lineage of kings and queens and its iconic Glass Castle. Other significant kingdoms include Adarlan, which plays a central role in the initial novels and is characterized by its oppressive regime and suppression of magic; Wendlyn, a land steeped in ancient magic and home to powerful Fae; and the Free Cities, a collection of independent city-states with their own distinct identities and trade networks.

Erilea is also home to various mythical creatures and beings, including Fae, witches, and other magical entities. The continent's history is marked by ancient wars, the rise and fall of empires, and the resurgence of magic, which had been suppressed for centuries. The political landscape is often fraught with tension, with power struggles between kingdoms, internal conflicts, and the looming threat of ancient evils. The geography of Erilea ranges from frozen northern lands to lush southern forests and arid deserts, influencing the lifestyles and cultures of its inhabitants. The ongoing narrative explores the interconnectedness of these various regions and peoples as they navigate their destinies and confront formidable challenges.
