Amazing Fictional Maps

If you have ever gotten lost in a book, video game, TV show or movie, you may find yourself envisioning the places in which they are set.

Diehard fans who watch for every direction and clue have drawn out these fictional maps, and we’ve turned to their artwork to provide you with a guide to some of the most popular fictional places.

You’re sure to recognize a few characters along this route.

“Game of Thrones” fans know Westeros is the island continent in the far west of the Known World, separated from Essos by the Narrow Sea. 

Sound like Great Britain? Many have spotted similarities and feel Westeros is an upsidedown version of England, Wales and Scotland.

The other Known World continents include Sothoryos and Ulthos, but most of the GoT action takes place in Westeros, where the Seven Kingdoms fight for, you guessed it, the throne.

King Arthur ruled the mystical city of Camelot, located somewhere in England. His walled castle city was the hub of the Kingdom of Logres. Within the castle, 150 knights would gather around the Round Table, discussing battles and lands.

Although fictional, historians have found similarities between references of King Arthur and his knights and true Briton battles. His name appears in works dating back to 594 AD, and some believe he may have been a real hero of the Celts.

Middle Earth (also spelled Middle-earth) is home to the hobbit heroes that saved the lands from Saruman’s destruction in the fantasy stories of “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit.”

The hobbits didn’t work alone, though. They were joined by elves, dwarves, ents and men to fight the orc army and save Rohan, Gondor and the Shire.

Middle Earth, created by J.R.R. Tolkien, is actually a world from Old Norse, middangeard, which actually means “middle place.”

In “Avatar,” the blue-skinned Na’vi live on the jungle moon of Pandora, which is no place for humans who cannot handle the atmosphere. The unique biosphere is home to exotic life, including bioluminescent creatures and lush flora and fauna, much like the Amazonian jungles of South America.

Just like in the Amazon, the fictional Na’vi and their lush environment are being attacked for their resources.

Walt Disney World made it possible for humans to visit Pandora in its Animal Kingdom theme park.
