Earth Land (アースランド Āsu Rando) is a world in the Fairy Tail Universe.[1]
Geography

Ishgar
The eastern part of Earth Land is occupied by a very large peninsula called Ishgar (大陸 Ishugaru), that around is surrounded by scattered isles of differing sizes; the peninsula itself is linked to the mainland, whose geography is mainly unknown.[2]
The territory seems to be split into several countries:
- The Kingdom of Dragnof, a country that existed 400 years in the past; the population was made up of both humans and Dragons co-existing peacefully with each other.[3]
- The Kingdom of Fiore, occupying a smaller, secondary peninsula sprouting from the main one, to the west.[4]
- The Land of Isvan, a country located to the east of Fiore, although its exact location in Ishgar is unknown.
- The Principality of Veronica, a small country located in the mountains north to Fiore.[5]
- The country of Seven, occupying a peninsula northeast of Fiore.[2]
- The country of Bosco, located east of Fiore.[2]
- The country of Iceberg, located to the east of Seven, northeast of Bosco, north of Joya, northwest of Bellum and west of the Pergrande Kingdom.[2]
