Luddan

Luddan is a fictional geographic location, most often used in fantasy or science fiction contexts. While devoid of specific definition or established lore in widely recognized works, the term generally evokes a sense of wild, untamed, and potentially dangerous territory. It is frequently employed as a placeholder name, signifying a region beyond the known or civilized world of a story's setting. The implied characteristics often include dense forests, treacherous mountains, or barren wastelands, inhabited by creatures or peoples unfamiliar and potentially hostile to the protagonist's culture. The term's vagueness allows authors to imbue it with whatever specific dangers or wonders suit their narrative needs. Its use is most commonly found in amateur or unpublished writing, though its simplicity could theoretically lend itself to professional worldbuilding as a starting point.
