The Time of Troubles in the Faerûn realm, described in the Forgotten Realms series by Ed Greenwood, is included a small domain in the MUD. J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is represented through the domains of Gondor and Shire, based on Middle-earth. Both domains include several cities, including Edoras, Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul and Pelargir. The Tolkien-based domains cover the War of the Ring timeline. Finally, Genesis includes a domain based on Earthsea, the fictional realm created by Ursula K. Le Guin for her A Wizard of Earthsea novel. Included are the city of Gont, the town of Thwil in the island of Roke and the village of Ten Alders. The City of Tyr is loosely based on the Dark Sun setting.
