mythical lands
Legendary invented places
Mythical lands are imaginary places from folklore, legend, or fantasy—realms that exist in stories rather than on maps.
Atlantis, Avalon, El Dorado, and Shangri-La are mythical lands, each carrying associations of lost glory, hidden treasure, or impossible perfection.
The phrase often appears in discussions of literature, gaming, or childhood imagination: The novel transports readers to mythical lands where magic is commonplace.
Something described as a mythical land may be real but idealized beyond recognition.
