The magic land named Fairyland, also referred as Grimmworld by the Wizard,[2] is a magic dimension inhabited by fairies, ogres and other supernatural creatures.
History
Fairyland has different physical laws from most other worlds. Only magic works there; no scientific technology or metahuman with scientifically-derived powers will be effective. Cars, radio, and electrical light will be useless. Even ordinary matches will not light. Some particular supernatural law in Fairyland also reduces the aging of their inhabitants; some of whom are centuries old[1].
Earth-Two (and New Earth)
Once every thousand years Fairyland and the Earth dimensions coincide, allowing passage for 24 hours. The first recorded time it occurred was in 948 AD, inspiring several well-known fairy tales. In 1948, this passage was open again, and the sorceress Lorelei tried to rule the Earth with an army of supernatural beings, but was stopped by the JSA.[1]
Earth-One (and New Earth)
Main article: Justice League of America Vol 1 2
Inhabitants of the Magic Lands came into conflict with the JLA in its early days; The evil magicians Simon Magus, Saturna, and the Troll King have used their combined magic to transport items of science to that realm to try and overthrow its ruler and his great magician Merlin. Temporarily, they swapped Earth and Magic-Land into the others' dimensions and our science was useless there.
The Wizard identified the Magic-Land as the same place as Fairyland.[2] When Lorelei ruled over this realm since the Middle Ages, she temporarily was dead after her confrontation against the JSA[1]; She was replaced by an unnamed king during the early days of the Justice League[3]. Some years later, the Wizard resurrected Lorelei, and then she conquered that realm again.
Magic-Land is a duplicate of our world, with continents in the same shape and located in exactly the right places. However, the Americas there are called Asgard (unrelated to the Asgard of Norse mythology); Africa and Eurasia are called Olympia; Oceania is named Oceana.[3]
Quality Universe
Earth and Fairyland came into contact in 1940, when Merlin the Magician accompanied a magic-denying high school principal on a tour thru the realm of the Princess of Fairyland, where they encountered and subdued two horrendous ogres, absconded with a golden goose egg, and freed the Princess' boyfriend from a fire-eating dragon.[4]
Prime Earth
Elfame or Álfheimr, the land of fairies (also known as The Fair Lands[5]) in the Sphere of the Gods, is a world full of magic and full of weird rules. It was ruled by an unnamed fairy queen who was killed by the future aspect of the Roman god Janus and succeeded by King Gwin, formerly the High Fae of the Queen's Royal Battalion, who stole the crown and in turn lost it to the queen's sister Agrona of the River Ayr, with the help of Wonder Woman, the Norse hero Siegfried, and the messenger god Ratatosk.[5]
As Elfhame was no longer safe, King Gwyn sent scouts to Earth to replace human children in search of a safer place for the faeries, the old practice of changelings the new Queen Agrona was willing to extinguish.[5]
