Earth Land (Zico)

Earth Land (アースランド Āsu Rando) is the primary world of the Fairy Tail Universe and central setting for the series. The world is mainly dominated by humans, though other sentient races such as demons, elves, and dragons tread the planet as well—the latter-most were originally the most dominant species in Earth Land prior to their fall at the hands of mankind.

Geography
Most of the known part of Earth Land is occupied by a very large peninsula, with some isles of different sizes being scattered in the sea surrounding it, and the peninsula itself being linked to the mainland, whose geography is mainly unknown.

Races
There is a variety of races inhabiting Earth Land:
 * Humans: the main, sentient race in Earth Land.
 * Dragons: rare, large and immensely powerful reptilian creatures. They are known to be very intelligent, and, in some cases, to appreciate humans, sometimes taking them under their protection and teaching them Dragon Slayer Magic.
 * Exceed: anthropomorphous talking cats capable of sprouting wings and flying through the use of the Magic Aera. They hail from Edolas, a dimension parallel to Earth Land, and they were all transported to the latter by interdimensional Anima gates.
 * Vulcan: large creatures reminiscent of gorillas, with a massive horn topping their head, capable of understanding human language and speaking a rudimentary form of it. They employ Take Over Magic to take the form of humans. They are known to reside on Mt. Hakobe, in the Kingdom of Fiore.
 * Winged Fish: a rare species of fish, gifted with wings which allow it to fly, and capable of breathing air.
 * Wyvern: somewhat reminiscent of Dragons, these winged reptiles are much smaller and more beastly in nature.
 * Goblins: funny little creatures reminiscent of otherworldly rodents, which are capable of wielding makeshift weapons.
 * Giants: a race of a giant human-like beings that greatly overshadow humans in size. They are known to reside in the Sun Village.
 * Demons: a race of humanoid beings with demonic features. Some of them are known to reside in the Galuna Island. There is also a special type of demons called Etherious that were born from the Books of Zeref.
 * Elves: a race of humanoid beings defined by their pointed ears. Unlike humans, all elves are capable of using magic. A prominent example elves are the members of the House of Lothlorien.

Magic
Magic (魔法, Mahō) in Earth Land is located inside the body of living organisms. In some races, Magic occurs in all individuals, but only 10% of humankind uses it. Magic can be divided into two main classifications:


 * Caster Magic (キャスターマジック Kyasutā Majikku): It is Magic which, as the name suggests, is generated and expelled from the caster's body, as opposed to Magic done through the use of a weapon or outside source.


 * Holder Magic (ホルダーのマジック Horudā Majikku); It is Magic that requires a Mage to employ an external source to be produced.

Trivia

 * This is a fanonized version of Earth Land, and as such deviates from canon in terms wider history, events, etc. As a result, new continents will appear and nations will be utilized at the author's desire. However, the core of the series still remains intact. Any and all things written here that is not seen is canon is fanon only.
