EDO is an acronym for "Elves, Dwarves, Orcs" and refers to fantasy conworlds that are structured similarly as Middle-earth, especially with regard to the races that inhabit them. EDO conworlds are used especially in role-playing games.
Examples of EDO worlds
- Middle-earth - the original EDO world, and perhaps still the best
- Aventuria, the world of the German RPG Das Schwarze Auge (The Dark Eye)
- Earthdawn, very high magic
- Forgotten Realms, a D&D setting
- Midgard RPG, another German RPG
Less typical EDO worlds
- Inis Albion, based on Arthurian Britain, no orcs
- Rosæ Crux, modern fantasy, no orcs
- Shadowrun, cyber-fantasy
