LinkedIn Pinpoint #609: Fantasy lands!, OZ, Narnia, Westeros, Middle-earth

I initially fell into the trap that the puzzle designers clearly intended. Seeing 'Fantasy lands!' as the header, I immediately thought the answer was simply 'Fantasy locations' or 'Fictional places.' It seemed too obvious, but sometimes Pinpoint does throw us straightforward themes. I tried various combinations: 'Fantasy realms,' 'Imaginary places,' even 'Literary settings.' None of these felt quite right when I tested them against all five clues. The pivot moment came when I focused more carefully on the specific nature of these locations. They weren't just fantasy settings - they were complete, fully-realized universes with their own rules, histories, and inhabitants. Oz has its own geography and politics, Narnia operates under different physical laws, Westeros has complex family dynasties and political structures, and Middle-earth contains multiple languages and detailed histories spanning millennia. This realization led me to understand that these aren't merely locations or lands, but comprehensive alternate realities. The structural connection became clear: each represents a complete 'world' - a self-contained universe with its own internal logic and consistency. The answer 'Fantasy worlds' captures this completeness that distinguishes these creations from simple fictional locations.
