Auradon Worldbuilding Guide

This is what I do for fun

I have spent the past seven years absolutely obsessed with the Disney Channel movie series Disney Descendants. I am sufficiently persuasive that the fandom of this movie, in addition to its target twelve-year-olds, now includes a few dozen effective altruists in San Francisco. You should all be glad I only use my powers for good.

The premise of this series is that all the Disney princes and princesses lived at approximately the same time and formed a country called Auradon. They sent the Disney villains off to the Isle of the Lost. Twenty years later, the descendants [ba-dum-tish] of various Disney heroes, villains, and sidekicks are meeting each other and getting in G-rated romantic drama.

If you have responses like “what?”, “no”, “that doesn’t make sense”, and “but… but… but… the tech levels,” I will be the first to assure you that absolutely none of this is explained at any point. And that’s where I come in.

God help me, I have spent the past seven years bashing together as many Disney movies as possible into a single universe, and now you get the benefit of my work.
