	Mentioned in {{COM}} ,{{MM}} and {{J}}, "'''Chimeria'''" is a mist-shrouded homeland which exists only as a place for heroes such as [[Hrun]] the Barbarian to come from. Apparently, like [[Skund]], it moves around a bit and is impossible to precisely pin down. Current wisdom enshrined in {{CDA}} is that it is Hubwards of [[Llamedos]] and neighbours [[Hergen]] and has allowed formerly landlocked Llamedos (which in the time of ''The Discworld Mapp'' was inland) access to the coast and for [[Pant-y-Girdl]] to become a significant seaport. {{CDA}} notes "the mist makes it hard to tell for sure" where Chimeria begins and ends, and notes that Sealy Bay is notorious for shipwrecks of vessels disorientated by fog and mist. The borders are "ill-defined" and the prevailing foggy gloom makes surveying well-nigh impossible. the language appears to be Llamedosian or something related, as the country has male-vocie choirs which are a hit at Eisteiddfods.

Mentioned in {{COM}} and {{J}}, "Chimeria", is a mist-shrouded homeland which exists only as a place for heroes such as [[Hrun]] the Barbarian to come from.

==Annotations==

Chimeria is a direct parody of the [[Roundworld]] author Robert E. Howard's {{wp|Cimmeria_(Conan)|Cimmeria}}, whence comes {{wp|Conan_the_Barbarian|Conan the Barbarian}}, who is the model for Hrun. By the next book in the series, TP had [[Cohen the Barbarian]] as his parody, but Hrun was the prototype.

"Chimeria" also evokes the Greek myth of the {{wp|Chimera_%28mythology%29|Chimera}}, the mythical monster, and something "chimerical", ie existing on the very fringes of objective physical existence.
