Gaea

Gaea is the planet on which the events of The Vision of Escaflowne and Escaflowne take place. Hitomi Kanzaki is transported to Gaea in a pillar of light after her pendant reacts to Van's Drag-Energist following his completion of the Rite of Succession.

Gaea exists in an alternate dimension from Earth, and is a replica with oceans, continents, and even the ruins of ancient civilizations. Its size, mass, atmospheric composition, temperature belts, and even seasons are essentially similar to those of Earth. Although people on Earth cannot see Gaea, people on Gaea see both the Moon and Earth in their nightly expanse.

Gaea was created by the combined wishes of those from the doomed Atlantis once they had realized that their ways were the end of their own civilization.
