In ''Glinda of Oz'', princesses Dorothy and Ozma travel to stop a war in a remote region of Oz near the edge of Gillikin Country. There is an ongoing war amongst two rival tribes, the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Ozma decides to visit the region and try to mitigate the quarrel. They first travel to meet the Flatheads, who live on top of a mountain and are ruled by a Supreme Dictator. Being unable to talk him out of going to war, Dorothy and Ozma travel to an island city encased in glass, where they meet the leaders of the Skeezers, a vain narcissist who is determined to fight the war as well. Dorothy and Ozma are imprisoned, and then trapped when the Queen of the Skeezers sinks the island and then is turned to a swan by the Flatheads, leaving it up to Glinda the Good sorceress and Dorothy's other friends to rescue them.
