Well, they’re all worlds born from the imaginations of some very gifted people. Okay, I admit that Alagaesia and Shannara are ripping off Middle Earth, but they’re still two very well developed worlds. Lets take Alagaesia as an example (because Middle Earth would take too long) Paolini drew the map of Alagaesia after he finished writing Eragon. It has all the features of the usually fantasy land, ...
