comment
This piece of Meta Fiction by Diana Wynne Jones pretends that pretty much all of the fantasy stories ever told — well, most modern genre fantasies, anyway — took place in a place called "Fantasyland", and that the creators of the stories are the "Management" who arrange for the audience to go on "tours". With this setup, an extensive list of fantasy tropes is presented, as if to a tourist visiting another country, and thoroughly deconstructed. It also pretends that the stories are statistically representative of "Fantasyland", and thus concludes that the most common type of meal is stew, that cities are composed mainly of alleyways, and that the ecology and economy of Fantasyland are severely screwed up.Jones later wrote a novel called Dark Lord of Derkholm set in the Fantasyland described in the Tough Guide and deconstructed it further by revealing it's really nothing like the guidebook at all and it's all put on (very reluctantly) for the benefit of the tourists.Published originally in 1996, Jones issued an Updated Re-release in 2006 with some new examples (the page image comes from that edition).

Slave Liberation: Male Tourists enslaved as Gladiators or on Galleys will soon escape. Female Tourists enslaved will also soon manage to when their owner's enemy attacks. Male Tourists often rescue other female slaves, despite them being previously happy with their lot.

Our Elves Are Different
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_15fc9fb
comment
Our Elves Are Different: Elves are immortal (and always youthful), and wiser, more ethereal, more magical, better-looking and just generally better than humans. They were, at least according to themselves, the first people in Fantasyland and were created directly by the gods. They have been in decline since humans turned up, and now most of them are passing West — which here means they have been moving to the American Southwest, where they wear punk clothing and ride motorcycles.

More Predators Than Prey
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_16720859
comment
More Predators Than Prey: The Guide uses this as one of the key pieces of evidence for the theory that fantasy worlds' ecosystems have been recently ravaged (another is the way piles of refuse around oppressed peasants' huts don't just rot away.) It comes to the conclusion that the systems are re-establishing themselves with humans at the bottom, and everything will be fine.

 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_171edb09
comment
The Wild Hunt: The Hunt, a great procession of spectral horses, hounds and riders, with a masked and horned leader at its head, occasionally crosses the skies of Fantasyland. It does so somewhat arbitrarily and does not always appear to play a clear role in the Tour beyond just being generally ominous, and Jones speculates that the Management doesn't have full control of it.

comment
Artistic License – Biology: Jones notes that the ecology of Fantasyland is very messed up as the result of there being very few bacteria, insects, birds or large herbivores since the "Management" apparently are ignorant about their importance. However, she believes the ecosystem is slowly righting itself so that humans will eventually be on the bottom of the food chain.

The Siege: Walled Cities are guaranteed to be besieged at least once. The enemy always tries to storm the walls, instead of simply starving the defenders out, which is the more realistic and safer way. Even so, they'll succeed eventually and loot the city. Inhabitants will suffer much murder, rape and theft. Tourists however will always be able to escape with Secret Passages. Citizens of these cities will be surprisingly cool with them leaving everyone else there to fight on.

Cruel and Unusual Death: Executions are usually carried out by the most cruel methods possible, for instance burning alive, crucifixion, disemboweling, impaling and starvation. Often though these all occur off page, with the Tourists only coming across the grisly remains of the unfortunates executed this way.

Automaton Horses: The horses of Fantasyland do not seem to require food or drink, can gallop day or night without tiring, never stumble, bite, shy or slip their gear, and generally seem to function more like bicycles than anything else.

Wizards' War
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_1f8aa905
comment
Wizards' War: In the distant past, the wizards fought a terrible war against one another. Modern wizards in a foul mood can do things like throw bits of the landscape about, wave storms into existence, move or destroy mountains and cities, summon and unleash demons, and pollute vast chunks of land with magic. The Wizards' War seems to have come about when too many wizards got into foul moods and started doing these things at one another all at the same time. Their battles' remains are still to be seen in the form of wasteland areas full of magical pollution, glassy slag, carnivorous monsters, carnivorous plants, carnivorous slime, and so on.

comment
Praetorian Guard: The King's Men, elite soldiers who surround and guard kings, who come in three types: Good. The salt of the earth like their liege, they are shown relaxing while off duty, laughing and talking about their families to show they're nice. Assuming they have to arrest the heroes, they're apologetic, although also not easily escaped as they are quite diligent about their duties. Bad. They will seem like good King's Men at first, but their inner natures are revealed through nasty swearing and messy quarters. When ordered to arrest the heroes, they'll beat them up in doing so even if it's unnecessary. If the heroes are sent to be tortured, these King's Men are pleased about it. They'll ask to watch too. Automata. They're in full armor every time they're seen, with visors down, due to no longer really being human, as they are controlled by the Dark Lord. They will not stop attacking, no matter what. Often they work for a Puppet King in the thrall of the Dark Lord, but others serve him directly and can form entire armies.

Fantastic Fallout
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_24feb95d
comment
Fantastic Fallout: The ancient Wizards' War is likely to have left large tracts of Fantasyland heavy with magical pollution. The ground there is barren and glassy, mist cloaks the land, and living things are mutated and wrong. Plants are twisted, thorny, poisonous and unnaturally colored; many are likely to be carnivorous. Slimes and mosses abound that try to absorb living flesh, rocks may be ambulatory and homicidal, and all animals still living here are horribly mutated, intelligent, and predatory.

Our Werebeasts Are Different: Weres are people who turn into animals, either at will or under the full moon. They can become almost any animal you might care to think of, although they only get one animal each. Werewolves are among the more common kinds, although most have gone over to the Horror tour. Most are hostile, and they tend to prowl along Fantasyland's many wastes and wildernesses.

God Save Us from the Queen!: The "old fashioned bad" variety of bad queen. She's an absolute tyrant who has complete control over her realm, with everyone terrified of her. Very cruel, her land is the worst on the Tour; she rapes then murders peasant youths for fun. Invariably she'll demand sex from the Tourists and have them tortured when refused. Their only solution will be to kill her, but with reluctance as a result of her gender.

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Helmets are only allowed to a select few (never protagonists). The Guards, Vestigial Imperialists, Barbary Vikings (with horns), mooks of the Dark Lord (to render them faceless) and foreigners (so they can have exotic shapes). Armies will rarely get them, unless having boiling oil poured on them happens during a Siege.

Sex Slave
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_362461f6
comment
Sex Slave: This is different for male and female slaves: Slave, Female, when discussing kinds 1 and 2: The first type being female Tourists captured into slavery: "You may well be annoyed to find how little your new owner pays for you, but this is the Management's way of protecting you from rape, beatings, and other hardships." The second type is girls of a Royal Harem, though the word "harem" is never used, and the sex they have is never forced: "Beautiful young women. You will find these in droves in the FANATIC CALIPHATES and sometimes in the PALACES of bad KINGS. Their duties are light and pleasant and are: looking beautiful, bathing and massaging visitors, singing and dancing, and, for male Tourists, providing company in bed. None of them seem unhappy in their work and they show no desire to escape. [...] Often male Tourists will sympathize with the plight of such Slaves, nobly reject their offer of free, no-holds-barred SEX, insist on assisting them to escape from the exploitative tyranny under which they have been existing, and then, having obviously done them a Good Turn, have free, no-holds-barred Sex before stranding them in the middle of nowhere to make their way thousands of miles back to their own COUNTRY." SLAVES, MALE, are used by bad KINGS, FANATIC CALIPHATES, and some WIZARDS in large numbers as GUARDS, attendants, fan-bearers, waiters and entertainment, and for SEX.

Dead Unicorn Trope
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_36471c17
comment
Dead Unicorn Trope: A gender-based scenario was mentioned in which mostly girls get to ride on dragons. The thing is, that while there are books with female Dragon Rider characters (i.e. Dragonriders of Pern), there doesn't seem to be any series in which that was an exclusively female activity—it's closer to exclusively male in the Pern books,note Only the very few gold (queen) dragons exclusively bond with females, and at the start of the series even they don't actually ride (later, and in the past, greens would sometimes bond with women). and the Pit Dragon Chronicles likewise features males making that bond, and all of these books were written before the Guide was published. It is worth noting, however, that Jones wrote it after reading umpteen Tolkien-esque, Tolkien-length submissions for The Encyclopedia Of Fantasy (1997). Jones was probably not referring to any published books when she wrote this.

Horny Vikings: The Barbary Vikings who live in the north of the world. They love killing and fighting, are skilled sailors, and wear the usual horned helmets. They usually turn up as Pirates of a foreign sort, going around looting and burning and killing and such, but may be talked into joining the side of Good. Either way, they are one of the malest peoples you will encounter.

Elemental Embodiment: Elementals in Fantasyland, besides the usual four classic elements, come in various types, including iron, fog, mist, ice and whirling eddies of sand of indeterminate type. They usually appear as a kind of whirlwind, while fire elementals tend to take the shapes of humans or animals made of flames. They are often summoned by wizards to perform tasks, but can be rather single-minded about how they do things.

They are physically rather weak, but exist in great quantities and try to overwhelm their victims through sheer force of numbers. The narrator speculates that they may have originated somewhere else and come into Fantasyland via H. G. Wells' Time Machine.

Our Demons Are Different: Their appearance is generally of a large size, with huge fangs, staring eyes, many limbs and an odd color. It's difficult to pin down however. They do appear to be physical, but of some gaseous substance that lets them squeeze through narrow spaces like keyholes yet not be harmed with ordinary weapons. Sometimes they are found running loose, although they must often be summoned to our world and then bound with Magic. Any sort of bargain with them is highly advised against, because all demons are cheats.

comment
Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Naturally, the typical bearded, surly and metal-loving standard-issue dwarves show up in Fantasyland, where they live in hidden fastnesses in the mountains that seem to consist primarily of lavishly decorated hallways. They are suspicious of outsiders and will likely arrest the Tourists for trespassing into their fastnesses, but if properly persuaded they can be useful allies for the forces of Good. The convenient thing for Tourists is that, once persuaded to agree to something, Dwarfs will never go back on their word. Jones also chalks up the tendency for Fantasyland people to dig tunnels in, to and from every halfway notable location to interbreeding with Dwarves and thus acquiring an instinctive tendency towards digging.

You may also meet a High Priestess. Regardless of whether she’s attractive and motherly or thin and severe, she’ll always be good.

Fantastic Racism: Xenophobia is something most Peoples express. This is often experienced from the stranger Other Peoples toward humans, given their lack of extra limbs etc. It's mostly just acting patronizing though, rather than sacrificing them or something really bad, and Tourists will find their inferiority hard to argue with when their physical attributes do give them advantages. Ironically, those with the usual number of limbs express this racism by enslaving rather than simple condescension.

 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: Guards, or the Town Watch, are completely useless. They only ever arrive on the scene late when a tavern brawl or riot breaks out. Guards are few in number and uniformly stupid. However, Tourists will be glad of this when having to make a hasty exit from a Town.

The Legend of Chekhov: The entry on Legends notes that if anybody recounts a legend to a Tourist, the Tourist may be sure that it is both true ("Legends are an important source of true information. They always turn out to be far more accurate than History.") and something that will be relevant later in the Tour ("The Management will never allow anyone to tell you a legend unless it is going to be important for you to know.").

Sympathetic Magic
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_5d8e871d
comment
Sympathetic Magic: This is one of the commonly encountered kinds of magic. It works by taking some bit of the target and using it as a conduit for casting curses, or making it into a clay model and using it to move the target about. The piece must be gotten back to break the magic; if the caster is using something non-physical, such as a name, this may be a problem.

The second type is girls of a Royal Harem, though the word "harem" is never used, and the sex they have is never forced: "Beautiful young women. You will find these in droves in the FANATIC CALIPHATES and sometimes in the PALACES of bad KINGS. Their duties are light and pleasant and are: looking beautiful, bathing and massaging visitors, singing and dancing, and, for male Tourists, providing company in bed. None of them seem unhappy in their work and they show no desire to escape. [...] Often male Tourists will sympathize with the plight of such Slaves, nobly reject their offer of free, no-holds-barred SEX, insist on assisting them to escape from the exploitative tyranny under which they have been existing, and then, having obviously done them a Good Turn, have free, no-holds-barred Sex before stranding them in the middle of nowhere to make their way thousands of miles back to their own COUNTRY."

Our Ghosts Are Different
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_66479d0
comment
Our Ghosts Are Different: Ghosts are encountered either alone or in large groups. Single ones usually haunt mansions and outdoors, but oddly enough rarely castles or palaces where people could be expected to have died from foul play. This seems to be because they linger as a result of having unfinished business. Groups of them will wait in cemeteries. Single ones will desire vengeance over whatever matter is keeping them around in the world. Regardless, it's best for Tourists to be wary of ghosts generally, because they can still harm the living. Being deceased, living people will also have a hard time killing them.

Gladiator Games: The other common fate of male characters who get enslaved besides becoming a galley slave. Characters forced to become gladiators will be treated fairly well as their owners desire a good show. After training and having proved themselves in minor bouts, they will face a more seasoned professional gladiator. If offered their freedom as a reward, the Rule is the character must kill him. Otherwise, they will just beat him and then the pair can escape not long after.

comment
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Fantasyland is big on color-coding, especially as a means to quickly display a person's moral character. Black clothes mean evil (unless matched with a white collar, in which case they are a sign of a sober outlook). Grey and red are for the shiftier sort of neutral. Everything else is good. Black hair is evil, red hair displays magical power, fair hair is good, and brown means nothing in particular. Black eyes are evil, green eyes display magical talent, grey eyes display healing talent specifically, silver eyes belong to beguilers and hypnotists, brown and hazel imply good humor and niceness but not necessarily Goodness, white eyes show immense wisdom, violet eyes are a mark of royal lineage and along with gold mark their owners for painfully interesting lives, and red eyes are a mark of especially potent evil. Corpse-white complexions are Evil, pinkish are just sort of pathetic, and deeply tanned are Good. Other colors do not exist.

Tome of Eldritch Lore: Grimoires. In Fantasyland, these are not spell books generally, but specifically books of evil spells. Many seem to be alive, invariably made of black leather or human skin. They may smoke somewhat when touched. Some may try to entice the curious into reading them, but others stubbornly keep their pages blank. Those really wishing to consult them will need a lot of spells for protection. All Tourists are advised to leave this for a Wizard and or Tour Mentor.

Vestigial Empire: The book named the trope. It's slightly larger than most of the Countries, with well-built and guarded Roads and a thriving farmland. Alone among Countries, there will be Politics in its capitol, with Senators and noble clans all jockeying for control, poisoning each other to get it. Tourists will be overcharged for goods there. Given the above, it's said they will enjoy themselves, as it's more like home. All of it's described as clearly similar to ancient Rome. Ironically, in the description itself it wasn't identified as being shrunken down from a larger influence and size, although the name obviously implies that.

Slave Galley: If a male character is enslaved, chances are he'll probably wind up chained to an oar in one of these. Jones notes that, since these galleys only ever seem to contain rows of chained-up slaves and nothing in the way of merchandise or soldiers, it's a bit difficult to understand why people keep building them. In fact, it's the only way to reach any Offshore Islands. Though an unpleasant experience, before long they'll be able to break out with a Large Man who they befriend, kill their owners and escape by swimming away.

 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_84194ebf
comment
Automata. They're in full armor every time they're seen, with visors down, due to no longer really being human, as they are controlled by the Dark Lord. They will not stop attacking, no matter what. Often they work for a Puppet King in the thrall of the Dark Lord, but others serve him directly and can form entire armies.

Made a Slave
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_8437cb10
comment
Made a Slave: There're two ways this can happen: Most male Tourists will be captured and enslaved at some point on their Quest, and will become galley slaves or gladiators, at which point they’ll have to win back their freedom. Female Tourists captured by bandits or pirates will be sold as slaves in the Other Continent. The women are then treated well, however, free from beatings, rape and other hardship. While put to work, it will be at a useful skill, and they may even learn Magic. An enemy of their owner will soon raid the villa where the slave now is, and they can escape in the confusion. The daughters of merchants who were brought along with the caravan will be captured when bandits will inevitably attack; they appear to be the only source of harem slaves.

Arboreal Abode: Trees often serve as dwelling places in Fantasyland. The three general kinds are straightforward treehouses in the branches, dwellings built inside the trunk (these tend to be within very large trees, and to be Bigger on the Inside in the bargain), and underground dwellings dug amidst the tree's roots.

Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: Sewers can be expected to appear beneath any given castle or city, seemingly for the purpose of providing convenient access or egress from these places. Smell is rarely an issue, and any odor picked up while slogging through sewage will vanish in short order, "almost as if the management had forgotten about it".

Protagonist-Centered Morality
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_89434320
comment
Protagonist-Centered Morality: "Turncoat" is solely defined as someone who turns against the protagonist. People joining them are only doing what's right. Along with this, the barbarian hero is described rescuing a female slave from being kept in a harem, then has sex as a reward before abandoning them in the middle of nowhere (i.e. using them for sex much like their slave master would), yet remains a "hero" to people writing such a character.

Our Zombies Are Different: Zombies are the smelliest and most pathetic form of undead that the Tour will encounter. Confrontations with them usually end with the zombie getting disemboweled and having its rotting innards fall out in a nasty brown glob, at which point it will assume an intensely pathetic expression and fall down dead.

Intelligent Forest: In some Woods, the entire forest — plants, animals, the whole lot — is an intelligent entity, usually directed by an immense, ancient tree in its very heart. It does not like intruders, and will try to kill them or at least get them lost and let them starve. The only way out is to communicate with the wood and get it trust you, which can earn the travelers some profound wisdom.

Death Mountain: The map features a range of peaks named the Death Mountains in the far north. More generally, the mountains most Tourists will have to cross tend to feature impossibly high, sharp peaks and steep cliffs that don’t seem to have ever been eroded, leading Jones to conclude Fantasyland has never gone through an ice age. This is where you’ll find dwarves, as well as cliff-dwelling clans that live alongside telepathic eagles and hawks.

Faux Affably Evil: Bad kings will generally be very polite (until of course they show their true colors on their generous offers to the heroes being refused). In fact, the more polite toward the heroes a king is, the more likely they're bad. The more polite in the end the worse these kings turn out to be.

Enchanted Forest: The Forest of Doom has moving, prehensile trees that can attack people, giant spiders, and reclusive tribes that will sacrifice outsiders to their gods. Woods come in two basic kinds. The first is basically a normal forest, but home to reclusive and hostile forest tribes, usually either humans or elves who live in the trees or nymphs or satyrs that stay on the ground. In the second, basically the entire thing is a sentient being very often hostile to outsiders and must be appeased by them. Incautious meditation here is liable to turn a person into a tree.

Giant Spider: All spiders in Fantasyland are huge, and prey on small Humans, Dwarfs and Gnomes. They live in deep forests and in caves, and spin thick, strong and extremely sticky webs. They're described like a ripoff of those in The Lord of the Rings (unsurprisingly). It's stated they've evolved to their size because of insects, their former prey, having gone extinct, forcing them to turn to humanoid prey.

Black Magic: The Black Arts are a collective name for magics of the unsavory sort, which mostly appear to revolve around enslaving people and summoning demons. Most magic of this sort seems to require a human sacrifice or at least a lot of blood, which practitioners of the Black Arts will get by nabbing convenient targets, who usually happen to be the Tourists or someone close to them. Practitioners can range in skill from simple beginners dabbling with forces that will eventually corrupt them to skilled adepts gleefully performing atrocities, and can appear both as agents of the Dark Lord and running their own little enterprises.

Thieves' Guild: They are the most organized body in Fantasyland, with every city having branches that easily communicate to each other, but having independent hierarchies. All kinds of thieves except muggers are in their ranks. They all claim to hate violence, though nonetheless they're proficient fighters. The group is also organized just like a normal guild, with apprentices, journeymen, masters and a Guildmaster with a name like The Faceless Man or The Gentleman. Heroes will at some point meet with the Guildmaster after being led blindfolded to his lair. His face will be hidden, and he'll have them look after a young thief they've met in return for the Guild's aid. This thief will be a great member of the Tour, with suggestions that he is the Guildmaster's son.

Hidden Elf Village
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_a971e83c
comment
Hidden Elf Village: The Hidden Kingdom, a very beautiful, idyllic, isolated Country. Its people are Elves, Mystical Masters, or both. Tourists will be given a talk by its ruler on magic or their life goals. Food may, surprisingly, not be Stew (but invariably vegetarian). Despite it being utopian, Tourists will quickly grow bored and want to leave. Its people will be happy with that, finding them restive. They will deliver a Prophecy and then send the Tourists off with supplies.

Stock Medieval Meal: Mocked, naturally. "STEW is the staple food in Fantasyland, so be warned. You may shortly be longing passionately for omelette, steak or baked beans, but none of these will be forthcoming, indoors or out. Stew will be what you are served to eat every single time." "BREAD is quite well known in Fantasyland, but you will seldom get much of it and it will never be fresh. You might be given some to sop up your stew in an inn of an evening, but in the morning, just as that day's baking should be ready, the Rules state that you will make a hurried departure, having time to grab up only a piece of stale loaf and a hunk of cheese."

Red Shirt: Type 1 Caravan Guards, who exist to get killed by bandits. Though they do have names and even personalities, it's said the protagonists shouldn't bother to learn them because of this. The Serious Soldier, who lacks personality and whose role in the story consists mainly of helping out in the fight scenes and inevitably dying at a dramatically appropriate moment.

Wizarding School: It's called the "Invisible College", described as being like an Oxbridge university. Within this, if anything with magic can go wrong, it will. Students should be prepared for every type of magical accident possible. Note this was written before Harry Potter, which codified the "wizarding school as UK boarding school" trope.

Satire: The entire book is one of cliched fantasy settings, encapsulated into "Fantasyland", with the "Management" being their collective authors who stage "Tours" from our world. Many entries poke fun at the ignorance or laziness that causes frequent problems with how all this "Fantasyland" gets depicted. Lots of "Original Management Terms (OMTs)" (i.e. hackneyed, overused phrases) are listed as well.

Storming the Castle: If The Siege occurs, it's always ended this way at some point, not just the more safe, realistic method of trying to wait the defenders out until they've starved. Once the walls have been breached after massive bloodshed, the attackers are sure to go all Rape, Pillage, and Burn in the city. Before it the heroes however will have already escaped by Secret Passage to avoid this.

Human Sacrifice: Evil religions and magic-users both tend to practice this, specifically of virgins most often though of other people too. The sacrifice being disemboweled, raped and or mutilated in some other way precedes this quite often. The characters will arrive either shortly before or just during the event, allowing them to interrupt it before any of the worst of it can happen, or long after the fact, in which case they can do little beyond burying the piteous body.

Shout-Out
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: While the Guide mostly talks in general terms, some commentary is aimed at specific works: "[Cursed rings] must be returned from whence they came, preferably at over a thousand degrees Fahrenheit, and the curse means you won't want to do this." Some of the Other Tough Guides include The Tough Guide to Transport in the Multiverse (Mostly by Telephone Box) (Doctor Who and possibly Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) and The Tough Guide to Flat Worlds (Flatland or Discworld, depending what is meant by "flat"). The Invisible College sounds not unlike Unseen University. Although it could be related to the source of the Unseen University, the actual Invisible College. The entry on Elves says that they claim to be fading into the West, then adds a reference to Mercedes Lackey's SERRAted Edge by explaining that what this means is that they're heading to California to race motorbikes. The entry on Fanatic Caliphates says that they "do not consider it cheating to cheat outsiders and unbelievers". This is taken almost verbatim from an entry on Baghdad and Iraq in another semi-fictional travel book.

They will light up when necessary. In the different Tours, a Staff may contain all the Wizard's spells, be merely an aid, or an actual living thing.

Our Dragons Are Different: Dragons are large winged reptiles, usually red, green or black, that live on offshore islands or in hidden valleys; they usually avoid other people, hoard treasure, and wield a unique form of magic. They apparently fled to Fantasyland from our world to avoid being hunted into extinction due to being thought to be evil monsters. In reality they’re actually aligned with Good, even though they eat people.

Some are very big, hairy women, but most are slim and beautiful. They're all quite strong and definitely not to be insulted. Even so, they're possible to befriend. Though the rumor is they're all lesbians, often the women end up having sex with Tourists, whether male or female (it's apparently quite good).

The Dung Ages: Cities in Fantasyland will usually have heaps of refuse, along with being near hovels. Though a certain amount of this makes sense, Jones notes it never seems to break down. It gets to the point of her inferring that Fantasyland must lack insects, which means it's severely messed up. Abusive nobles and very downtrodden peasants who have a miserable time are also common, though usually country-specific. Lands ruled by The Good King can expect to have happier peasants and nicer nobles. Those of the Aristocratic Feudalists though... not so much. Obviously, in the land of the Dark Lord it's mostly living hell.

Barbarian Tribe: The Northern Barbarians are a fierce and savage people who live in the cold northernmost regions of Fantasyland, but despite this don't seem to wear anything beyond fur loincloths and copper wristguards. They will try to kill the Tourists when first encountered, and the Tour must win their respect by defeating them in battle and then exposing their shaman as a fraud.

Mage Tower
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_f6a0872
comment
Mage Tower: Nearly all towers are owned by Wizards. They typically stand alone in the middle of the wilderness and are nearly impenetrable, and powerful spells and guardian demons protect the towers from intruders.

Great Offscreen War
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_f722f635
comment
Great Offscreen War: Long ago, there was a Wizard War that left large tracts of Fantasyland as Waste Areas, devastated by magical pollution that persists into the present. Few details are given of what exactly happened. However, this is one of just two historical periods which ever get referenced.

The High King
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_f89e8ce5
comment
The High King: High Kings do not occur on all Tours; when they do, they preside over a variable number of kingdoms, dukedoms, principalities and sundry other countries in the northern part of the map. The king's reign will start sometime during the Quest proper — the Tour usually gets a good look at their very longwinded crowning ceremony and all the lesser lords swearing fealty — and he will be on the side of Good afterwards, organizing his land and mustering an army for the final battle. As a result of this involved job, he's usually a rather overworked figure.

Scienceville
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_f8fc99d3
comment
Scienceville: The City of Wizards, a coalition of good wizards gathering to live, study and debate together. It's usually a decent place to visit — give or take a bit of magical weirdness involving perspective and distances. The inhabitants can be characterized as aloof All-Powerful Bystander-types, quarrelsome human wizards, or collegiate wizards who never agree on anything.

Running Gag
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: When describing the various peoples you’ll meet on your quest, (dragons, marsh dwellers, island people, etc.) Jones mentions in each entry how each group seems to have "a form of magic that no one else can use". There do not seem to be exceptions. Depending on how many of these groups you meet, you may end up with more examples of exclusive magic than of the regular kind.

Artistic License – Economics
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_fd76df83
comment
Artistic License – Economics: Though some of the countries in Fantasyland do have a strong economy based on trade (contrasted with others which are very poor), it's left a mystery just how this works as bandits or pirates steal so many goods. Even after robbing it, they never seem to recirculate the wealth. So the source is unknown, most notably as no country seems to have industry of any kind. As a result, she concludes that their economy must be sustained by "tourists" coming from our world.

Brick Joke: The Gnomic Utterance in the C section describes an incident where the hero Somplac sliced off the left big toe of the sage Algeron. Later on, the Utterance in the O section mentions an in-universe belief that a demon was responsible for cutting off this toe.

Bigger on the Inside
 The Tough Guide to Fantasyland / int_fe1b2e75
comment
Bigger on the Inside: The Guide notes that most buildings in Fantasyland appear larger inside than their outside would suggest. An unusual exception to this are farmhouses, which are smaller on the inside — for some reason, these will seem large and inviting outside, but will be small and poky inside.

Selkies and Wereseals: Shapeshifting sea peoples are a common encounter. Most take the form of seals, but others are known that turn to dolphins, whales or fish. They are always called Selkies, nevermind that "selkie" just means "seal".
