Earthsea is the location of the works in the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin. It is a fantasy world populated by people, dragons, wizards, and magic.
The World of Earthsea
Earthsea is an archipelago where magic and wizards and dragons exist. The wizards study magic at the island of Roke, where women are forbidden to be students.
Race
Most of the inhabitants of Earthsea are dark-skinned, except for the people of the Kargish Isles. This was a deliberate decision from Le Guin, who wanted to set her stories in a world where White people were not the default.
The TV and film adaptations largely betrayed that decision.
