Xanadu, also known as Shengdu, was a city in Inner Mongolia, China, that may be home to one of the ten surviving gargoyle clans. [1] Details about the Xanadu Clan are unavailable as yet, beyond the fact that Fu-Dog comes from it. [2]
Thanks to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, "Kubla Khan", Xanadu is often used as a metaphor for opulence. Presumably for this reason, David Xanatos's upstate retreat is also called Xanadu. [3]
