In this secluded region, the human race develops a culture different from the rest of the world, all while confronting flying dragons, reptilian giants, monsters, Amazons, and other characters familiar from the world of heroic fantasy. Although the setting resembles the medieval milieu of classic fantasy tales, it is actually a science fiction story.
