==History ==
=== Before First Curse===
The land without magic was once a magical world just like the Enchanted Forest and the Land Without Color. However, due to humans destroying the last bit of magic in this world, including the destruction of the nymphs, it was rendered as a magicless realm. The only surviving member of the race, Mother Gothel wiped out the entire race, except her first follower, Seraphina. The two women left in a portal for the New Enchanted Forest, vowing to one day destroy humanity once it thrived once more. 
At least several hundred years, shortly after being unintentionally abandoned by Rumplestiltskin, Baelfire came to the Land Without Magic through a portal. Here, he landed in London, England and remained with the Darling family for a while, befriending the daughter of the family, Wendy and her brothers, John and Michael. However, Baelfire willingly left with the Shadow when it came for one of Wendy's brothers. At least a year later, Wendy and her brothers left for Neverland to rescue him but she was immediately captured and her brothers forced to work for Peter Pan in exchange for their sister's safety.
At some point, the Dragon comes to live in the Land Without Magic. 
In 1966, Isaac Heller, a struggling and aspiring writer becomes the new Author after the previous one had tragically passed on. The Apprentice opens a door to another realm, intending to take Isaac there.
In 1982, the Snow Queen arrived in the Land without magic to await the arrival of Emma Swan.
In 1983, Lily Page comes to the Land Without Magic after being vanished to the realm by the apprentice. She is found in Minnesota and taken to an orphanage, where she is adopted by Priscilla and James Page. 
===During First Curse===
In October 1983, the newborn Emma Swan and Pinocchio come to the Land Without Magic. Around this time the Evil Queen's curse takes all the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest and the lands them in Maine while creating a small seaside Town known as Storybrooke. The first visitors to the town, Owen and Kurt Flynn experience strange events in the town that leads in Kurt's disappearance and Owen's return with belief that magic exists and views it as unholy, vowing to destroy it. Meanwhile, Pinocchio abandons Emma shortly after being sent to an orphanage, leaving her to grow up in the foster system alone. In 1992, Baelfire escaped Neverland and returned to the land without magic. 
Sometime in 2001, Henry Mills was born after Emma began a romantic relationship with Neal. 
==Trivia==
*Due to living in this world for a long time, both Emma Swan (since childhood) and Neal Cassidy considered it their world rather than their homeworld, the Enchanted Forest.
