Fairytale World

The Fairytale World is the universe that Ever After High resides in and where *The End of Ever After* takes place. It is an expansive world filled with many realms, kingdoms, and stories. Some, like Ever After and Wonderland, are more well-known than others.

## Fictional Realms

The Fictional Realms are realms that do not mirror places in other universes, unlike New Salem and the Human World. These realms are completely independent and are sectioned into four parts: the Northern Realms, the Southern Realms, the Sea Realms, and the Western Realms. Each realm functions as a mini nation. Most are kingdoms. All contain characters who reenact stories to continue different legacies.

### Northern Realms

Below are some of the Northern Realms:

* Ever After
* Wonderland
* Paradox

#### Ever After

Ever After is perhaps the most well-known Northern Realm. It is home to the White Palace and was ruled by Queen Snow White until her untimely death in 559 SY. It is where Ever After High is located. Ever After is a popular tourist destination. Many characters long to study or emigrate there, preferably both. Ever After was destroyed by Milton Grimm in 560 SY, though Queen Apple White was able to lead her people to restore the kingdom to some of its former glory in the following years. Ever After is also home to Hood Hollow, a large technologically-deficient village populated mostly by Hoods and wolves.

#### Wonderland

Wonderland is the second-most well-known Northern Realm. It is home to the famous Hearts Castle and is ruled jointly by the Queen of Hearts, the White Queen, and the Red Queen. It is where Wonderland High is located. Wonderland was cursed by the Evil Queen in her attempt to take over the entire fairytale world. Her daughter, Raven Queen, was able to lift the curse in 558 SY and return the realm to normal. Wonderlandians are known for their odd senses of logic and abnormal habits.

#### Paradox

Paradox is a little-known kingdom. It is home to Queen Castle and is ruled by the Good King. It is the Evil Queen's home realm. She abandoned it in her quest to take over other realms. Raven also gave up her claim to the throne after the Second Legacy Conflict of 560 in order to leave the Fairytale World, but resumed her position upon her return 20 years later. Paradox is an upside-down realm where many things conflict.

### Southern Realms

Below are some of the Southern Realms:

* Perceforest
* Heartland
* Rhodopis

#### Perceforest

Perceforest is the most well-known realm in the south. It is home to Beauty Castle and is ruled by Queen Aurora Beauty. It is the joint-oldest kingdom in the entire Fairytale World. Perceforest is known for its warm weather and abundance of roses. It has high tourism rates in the summer due to the kingdom's extensive history displayed in many museums.

#### Heartland

Heartland is a small kingdom in the Southern Realm. It is home to Bastia Castle and is ruled by King Adam Bastia. After fairytale complications arose some decades ago (the second princess of Perceforest inherited Beauty's destiny and then-Prince Adam inherited the Beast's), it became home to the Beauty and the Beast story.

#### Rhodopis

Rhodopis is a mid-sized kingdom in the Southern Realm. It is home to Charming Castle and is jointly ruled by Queen Cinder Ella and King Henry Charming. It is the joint-oldest kingdom in the entire Fairytale World. Rhodopis is known for its warm weather and environmentally conscious practices. It is carbon negative and over 60% of its populace is vegan.

### Sea Realms

Below are some of the Sea Realms:

* Story-by-the-Sea
* Neverland
* Atlantis

#### Story-by-the-Sea

Story-by-the-Sea, commonly known as Story-Sea, is a large realm on the coast of the Mirrorlike Ocean. It is home to Swan Palace and is ruled by King Siegfried. It is a kingdom comprised mostly of beach towns to the east and forests, lakes, and rivers to the west. It is a popular summer vacation destination.

#### Neverland

Neverland is a mid-sized, elusive realm on the lower cost of the Mirrorlike Ocean. It has no true ruler but is governed by pirates. It does not see a lot of traffic in or out due to its volatile political nature. Crime is higher than most other kingdoms, and its orphan population has recently plateaued after decades of constant growth. Due to the realm's volatility, its main story, Peter Pan, was put on hold for many years. In 559, the story was revived after half a decade of relative peace.

#### Atlantis

Atlantis is a sprawling sea kingdom deep in the Mirrorlike Ocean. It is home to Neptune's Castle and is ruled by King Neptune himself. Its main story is The Little Mermaid. It is the largest kingdom in the fairytale world because its citizens include merpeople, fish, and other underwater species. It is hard to access due to its underwater nature.

### Western Realms

Below are some of the Western Realms:

* Newkingdom
* Eos
* Bulovia-Domini

#### Newkingdom

Newkingdom is the newest kingdom in the Fairytale World, hence the name. It is home to many Charming castles and is ruled by King Charming. Newkingdom has the highest Charming population of all Fictional Realms. Its geography is mainly comprised of forests surrounding clusters of towns. It has no main story as Charmings tend to fill in gaps in other stories.

#### Eos

Eos is a mid-sized kingdom in the Western Realms. It is known for its abnormal lack of poor weather but is not particularly hot. It is home to O'Hair Castle and is ruled by Queen Rapunzel. Eos is one of the most traditional kingdoms. It also has a high percentage of witches.

#### Bulovia-Domini

Bulovia-Domini, also known as Bulovia or Domini, is a mid-sized kingdom in the Western Realms. It is home to the Crystal Palace and is ruled by Queen Genevieve Dancer. Bulovia is known for its high birthrate and rate of multiples. It is also home to the most prestigious ballet academy in the Fairytale Realm.

## Parallel Realms

Parallel realms are realms that mirror places in other universes, like New Salem and the Human World. They are linked to the Fictional Realms only by magic. Below are a list of a few Parallel Realms:

* New Italy
	+ Pescia (Cedar's hometown)

* New England
	+ Cornwall (Jillian's hometown)
	+ Gloucester (Lilly-Bo's hometown)
	+ Nottingham (Sparrow's hometown)
	+ Southey (Blondie's hometown)
* The North Pole
	+ Crystal's home kingdom

* New Germany
	+ Hamelin (Melody's hometown)
	+ Hesse (Ginger, Gus, and Helga's hometown)

Most parallel realms are not monarchies (with the exception of The North Pole). Instead, they have more democratic systems of governance in place. As such, students at Ever After High who come from these realms do not have any royal titles or ancestry.
