Land of Cockaine

Cockaine or the Land of Cockaine is a mythic utopia in northern folklore located on the fictional continent of Ayelaend. It is often compared to the equally fictitious Land of Goh.
== Description ==
Cockaine is said to be a land of plenty, without want. There, birds fall cooked from the sky and animals run about fully roasted with knives for the carving in their backs. The weather is always mild and the water cool. There is plenty of shade, though no structures exist within Cockaine as the men who dwell there have no need of them. Everyone in Cockaine is fat and happy, there are no taboos, and sex is had openly and freely. Wine flows from rocks and musical instruments play themselves. There are not insects in Cockaine and no war. Above Cockaine and to the east is Kird, to the northwest is Heptu, and to the south is Goh.
== Legacy ==
Cockaine was first mentioned as an allegory among religious scholars in the 8th century AE as a cautionary tale of what happens to people when they are given to idleness and gluttony. In stories of Cockaine at the time, the usually scholastic protagonists enter Cockaine expecting a perfect place to study Justain only to become idle and stupid with excess. When the idea of Cockaine left academia it became a popular ideal among the peasants and knights of the 7th century. Many knightly tales follow adventures on Ayelaend through Goh and into Cockaine only to find it as corrupting as the land before it. Fleurian opium dens are often themed after the land or called as such and on occasion the recreational use of opium is referred to as "traveling to Cockaine". Cockaine represents the sins of gluttony and sloth. If Ayelaend is considered an allegory for Fayos then Cockaine would be Arimania.
