As explained at the etymology paragraph, was the city founded by the great Santana. It is debatable wether this person was a man or a woman. Some say that Santana might have been a saint (Saint Anna). Santana was believed to be the first immortal man, the first who found Xanadu. But since Xanadu was not reachable for everyone he pledged to make his own Xanadu, his own paradise on earth. The only difference was that the Xanadu on earthwon't have immortal men. But since he hated his immortality he thought it would make a greater paradise. The people believe in this story, because they had found ancient letters, stating the story of Santana, and what people believe his own notes. With advanced technology they even found that the different notes they have found are from different era's. Meaning that this man, would have at least lived a couple of thousand years. In the first notes it seems like he is on a great quest to find Xanadu. To seek the sacred river Alph, to walk the caves of ice, to break his fast on honey dew and drink the milk of paradise.
