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