Oh, this will be fun! Almost like a poll, let’s see what dark places of fantasy worlds are top of our do-not-visit list.

If I ask the question: What are three fantasy lands that you would not want to visit? What comes to mind?

My top three at the moment would be:

1. The Land of Mordor
   The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien
   What is more unlikeable than a nest of unwashed orcs, volcanic mountains, and a sky that sees no sun?
2. Hades’ Underworld
   Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
   Whether in Riordan’s series or in mythology, I want no part of that place.
3. The Valley of Death
   The Sword of the Dragon by Your’s Truly(-;
   There is precious little in my first three books about this place, but when I built Letrias a lair I made it a place I would not want to be. And you’ll learn more about it in the forthcoming books in that series.

So now that you know the three at the top of my list, here’s my question for you:

Which Fantasy Lands/Places are You Least Inclined to Visit?
