Otherworld, connected to Earth through Avalon and to Amenth through Dryador.
Otherworld is a "pocket" dimension adjacent to Earth.[3][4] It functions as a nexus connecting other dimensions within Universe-616, as well as alternate realities across the multiverse,[5] while also being linked to other dimensional nexuses.[6] The denizens of Otherworld are tasked with guarding the intersections between all realities.[7] Although the Celtic powers of Otherworld and those of Asgard have experienced periods of conflict, they remain cosmologically closely aligned.[8]
Overview[]
Geography and Politics[]
The Starlight Citadel
Otherworld is an interdimensional nexus composed of numerous distinct provinces, each with unique characteristics and origins.[9] Initially, it existed as a pocket dimension containing only Avalon, a flat-shaped realm created by the goddess Gaea and shaped by the collective subconscious of the British Isles. For millennia, Avalon was synonymous with Otherworld, as it was the dimension’s sole realm.[8][5]
Over time, Otherworld expanded as it became a refuge for groups fleeing dying realities. These groups were granted autonomy, forming new provinces that attracted followers and evolved into independent kingdoms.[10] Among them, Sevalith—a realm shrouded in perpetual darkness—is one of the oldest, having rivaled Avalon for centuries.[10][11] Other provinces, such as Infuri, the Everforge, and Mercator, were established by refugees from collapsing realities.[12][10] Similarly, the spherical, planet-like Dryador[13] and the hive-mind-controlled Hothive likely emerged through similar migratory patterns.
In the Modern Age, newer realms like the inverted Floating Kingdom of Roma Regina and the iron-fisted Holy Republic of Fae arose in the aftermath of multiversal incursions, in part to appease their respective rulers, Roma and Merlyn.[14] The Crooked Market also emerged during this period, founded by those fleeing the incursions,[15] while Blightspoke stood as a solemn graveyard for the realities lost to them.[14][16]
At the heart of Otherworld lies the Starlight Citadel, the headquarters of the Omniversal Guardian. It serves as a meeting place and administrative nexus for all realities.[17] In the past, the Citadel hosted the Captain Britain Corps.[17] Doorways to other universes can be found in the Citadel’s Tower Omniverse,[7] as well as in the Gates to Other Worlds, which are hidden in Otherworld’s woodlands and guarded by Oberon.[18]
Recently, Otherworld has been divided into vassal states, known as kingdoms. The Fair Courts include the Floating Kingdom of Roma Regina, Infuri, the Everforge, Avalon, Sevalith, and Mercator, while the Foul Courts comprise the Holy Republic of Fae, Hothive, Dryador, Blightspoke, and the Crooked Market. All kingdoms remain subordinate to the Omniversal Guardian at the Starlight Citadel.[9]
Access[]
Portal to Otherworld from Stonehenge
In places of power, permanent portals provide access between Earth and Otherworld's Avalon Kingdom,[5] including the ring of standing stones in the Cheviot Hills’ Darkmoor,[19] Stonehenge,[8] the Tower of London, Avebury, Buckingham Palace, Hadrian's Wall, Cragside in Northumberland, Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, Cavern Club in Liverpool, Karl Marx's grave at Highgate Cemetery, Alan Moore's greenhouse in Northampton,[20] the Long Man of Wilmington, Glastonbury Tor,[21] St. James Park,[22] as well as various hidden sidhe (fairy mounds) scattered throughout the British Isles.[3]
Routes created by the Twelve Walkers—men of power who perceived the magical Ley lines connecting the two dimensions—also lead to Otherworld.[5][23] A small island near the village of Stanleigh, England, conceals the Gates of Otherworld, which can only be opened using Captain Britain’s Star Sceptre.[24] The Captain Britain Corpsmen are able to move freely between Otherworld and their native reality at will.[25][26] The native faeries also possess the ability to cross back and forth between the two realms.[27][18]
Otherworld is intrinsically connected to various dimensional nexuses. Those who wield Otherworld’s magic, such as members of the Captain Britain Corps, can access other nexuses, including the Well of All Things in the Temple of the Dragon's Breath—a pool that bridges multiple dimensions and manifests on Earth in Cambodia—and the Nexus of All Realities, a cross-dimensional gateway located in a swamp in the Everglades, Florida, guarded by the Man-Thing. Presumably, other nexuses, such as the M'kraan Crystal, are also linked to Otherworld.[6]
Recently, a gateway was established between the mutant island-nation of Krakoa and Avalon, but it was destroyed after Merlyn took control of Otherworld.[28][29][30] A second, larger gateway, known as the External Gate, opened beneath the Starlight Citadel.[31] After Krakoa's fall, Selene seized control of this gate.[32] Additionally, the Siege Perilous opened up a gateway, Fort Krakoa from Mercator to Krakoa.[33] The Voltus Glade, a casting circle, was also used to open a portal between Krakoa and Otherworld.[13][30] Following Krakoa’s merge with its Atlantic counterpart into the White Hot Room,[34] it is unclear whether these means of access are still functional.
History
Origins[]
The Tuatha de Danaan
The rival Tuatha and Fomorian pantheons are widely believed to be the earliest inhabitants of Otherworld,[5] both descending from Gaea.[3][4] They clashed repeatedly, driving the Fomorians into the Dark Realm. By around 2300 BC, the Fomorians mostly relocated to Earth, and the conflict reignited when the Tuatha also moved to Earth around 1896 BC.[5]
1st Century[]
Over two millennia ago,[5] the extradimensional mage Necrom discovered Otherworld and sought to harness its energy field, created by the dimensional interfaces connecting the multiverse's realities. Necrom and his apprentices, Feron and Merlyn, traveled to Earth-616, where Necrom had Feron call upon the celestial Phoenix Force avatar. This summoned the projection of an ancient tower at the nexus site through the multiverse, anchoring the matrix energies. Realizing Necrom intended to seize this godlike power, Feron confronted him, while Merlyn leapt into the energy matrix and was swept across the multiverse. Eventually, Merlyn gained control of the matrix energies and established the flying Starlight Citadel near the tower's counterpart in Otherworld. From there, he oversaw the Omniverse and later founded a Corps of costumed Omniversal peacekeeping agents.[39]
4th Century[]
By 350 AD, the Tuatha had driven the Fomorians back to Otherworld. Shortly thereafter, the Tuatha voluntarily relinquished their Earthly holdings as part of a peace agreement brokered by the druid Amergin Glúingel, which aimed to reconcile their Celtic worshippers with Amergin's Milesians.[40][5]
King Vortigen, one of the Proud Walkers
5th Century[]
The Tuatha de Danaan interacted with the Celts of the British Isles and France for centuries, mentoring many of the Walkers. From as early as the 5th century AD, the Walkers forged new paths between Earth and Otherworld, subsequently residing in Avalon. Over time, six of the twelve Walkers were corrupted by Otherworld's Nethergods, while the remaining six, known as the Proud Walkers, remained forces for good.[41][5] Worship of the Tuatha de Danaan on Earth was largely supplanted by the spread of Catholicism.[3] As a result, people grew mistrustful of the old ways, and creatures from Otherworld were increasingly shunned and scorned. The old paths were discarded, and a rift emerged between the two worlds.[23] Allegedly, the 5th century marked the last significant visitation to Otherworld.[42]
6th Century[]
Merlyn oversaw the rise of King Arthur's Camelot, a period that also saw the rise of Catholicism. Merlyn's acceptance of the new religion led to a clash with his apprentice, Morgan Le Fey, during which she destroyed over 1000 acres of Avalon's Grove of Sacred Trees.[43] As a form of penance, Morgan later helped the Green Man, a primordial Earth spirit of life and rebirth, merge with the mortal nobleman Bercilak de Hautdesert to become the Green Knight. Based at Avalon's Green Chapel, the Green Knight empowered many of Camelot's knights with spirits, later known as Pendragons in honor of King Arthur.[5]
After Arthur's death, the Lady of the Lake, Niamh, brought his body to Avalon to be entombed, awaiting his eventual rebirth. In Otherworld, a new Camelot was constructed, suspended above the abyss—the Great Rift—leading into the Netherworld. This new Camelot guarded the path into Avalon, supported only by a stone bridge.[5]
The Evil Eye, forged by the alchemists of Avalon
12th Century[]
In the 12th century AD, the Fomorians attacked Avalon but were defeated when the Evil Eye—an artifact forged by Avalon's alchemists that could manipulate matter at the molecular level—absorbed the Fomorian Balor's energy and redirected it back at his Fomorian brethren.[44] Later that century, the explorer Prester John traveled to Avalon in the service of King Richard I the Lionheart and was given possession of the Evil Eye. According to John, the wizards of Avalon had created powerful machines which harnessed the natural forces of the universe.[45]
20th Century[]
James Braddock, Merlyn's greatest champion
In the mid-20th century, James Braddock, an Otherworlder, became Merlyn's greatest Corpsman. Together, they banished the Ogre Mage Krokwel to the Forest of a Thousand Sorrows for his use of forbidden magic.[46] Merlyn later sent James Braddock to Earth-616 to father a champion. Arriving shortly after World War II, James had three children: James Jr. and twins Elizabeth and Brian. Braddock also created the Mastermind artificial intelligence on Earth-616, a node of omniversal knowledge to serve as a watchpost.[47][48]
During the Cold War, a man named Harry Pizer was sent to Otherworld to retrieve the Orb of Necromancy, a relic capable of granting true life to any imaginable being. Pizer was eventually caught, and as punishment, James Braddock ordered that his skin be removed.[49]
Modern Age[]
Battle with Necromon[]
In modern times, the demonic Necromon and his fellow Nethergods attempted to overrun Otherworld, launching a preemptive strike against Camelot in an effort to eliminate Merlyn's forces early in the conflict. Although Necromon was aided by the Evil Walkers, he was ultimately defeated by Captain Britain, Black Knight, and the Proud Walkers. During the final battle for Camelot, King Arthur was revived and once again assumed the throne.[50]
The Rise of Roma[]
Roma and Merlyn
After using Captain Britain to lure Earth-238's hero-killing Fury to Earth-616, with the intention of having the latter slay the reality-warping mutant Mad Jim Jaspers,[51] Merlyn faked his own death to draw Necrom out of hiding.[39] Roma, seemingly unaware of this deception, gathered Camelot's defenders and the Corps for Merlyn's funeral on Otherworld.[38] Under Roma's leadership, Corpsmen underwent regular training on Otherworld, and she took direct control of the Dimensional Development Court, a creation of her father in another part of the multiverse. Roma also relocated its Majestrix, Opal Luna Saturnyne, to serve as her assistant.[38][5]
When the demonic Adversary invaded the Starlight Citadel, Roma manipulated Earth-616's X-Men into seemingly sacrificing their lives to defeat him.[52] She then used the grief from their loss to unite Captain Britain and several surviving X-Men into the UK superteam Excalibur.[53]
Alliance with Asgard[]
In an attempt to rekindle old enmities between the Tuatha and the Norse gods of Asgard, the Egyptian god of death, Seth, sent griffin-like creatures to attack both Avalon and Asgard. This led the Asgardian Thor to pursue one of the beasts into Avalon, where Tuatha lightning god, Leir, mistakenly blamed him for its murderous rampage. Upon realizing their error, Leir and Thor allied to stop the creature.[54]
Knights of Pendragon[]
The Green Knight guards Otherworld's talismans
On Earth, Francesca Grace, one of the Red Lord's Bane, sacrificed the Pendragon Albion to awaken the slumbering Red Lord, a demonic entity dedicated to chaos and destruction. As the Red Lord's forces advanced on the Green Chapel, the Lady of the Lake assisted the Green Knight in resurrecting and assembling all past and present Pendragons to defend it. The Pendragons triumphed, and the Red Lord withdrew.[55]
Battle with Necrom[]
At long last, Necrom eventually returned and reabsorbed the Anti-Phoenix he had previously left behind. His actions led him to Otherworld, where he confronted the hero team Excalibur. In the final battle, Necrom was defeated by Rachel Summers, who overloaded him with cosmic energy, causing his atoms to disintegrate. As a result, Merlyn's energy matrix collapsed, and all matrix towers across the multiverse were destroyed.[39]
Brian Braddock is crowned King of Otherworld
Invasion by Mastermind[]
At a later point, the artificial intelligence Mastermind, disguised as Merlyn's daughter Roma, invaded Otherworld. Mastermind's forces slaughtered many of the defending Captain Britain Corps as it sought the legendary Sword of Might and the Amulet of Right, believing their combined power would allow it to reshape the cosmos. However, Captain Britain and his allies freed Roma, and following Mastermind's defeat, Captain Britain was crowned as the new ruler of Otherworld.[56]
Invasion by Morgan Le Fay[]
Upon discovering that Morgan Le Fey was plotting to magically sever Captain Britain's connection to Britain—so that injuries inflicted on him would also harm his homeland—Brian and Meggan brought the recently deceased Kelsey Leigh to Otherworld and passed the mantle of Captain Britain to her. Although Morgan later invaded Otherworld and captured Brian, she was ultimately defeated by Kelsey and the Avengers.[57]
House of M[]
When the insane Scarlet Witch altered Earth-616, the resulting reality-shift struck Otherworld through the interdimensional rift where Merlyn's tower had once stood, causing the Starlight Citadel to collapse. Roma dispatched Captain Britain and Meggan to Earth to seal the rift from that side, preventing it from destabilizing the Omniverse. They succeeded, though Meggan was lost in the interdimensional void, and Brian was stranded on Earth, relieved of his duties as king of Otherworld.[58][59]
Mad Jim Jaspers attacks the Starlight Citadel
Invasion by the Faeries[]
In recent times, the faeries of Otherworld were negatively influenced by the collective unconsciousness of the British, becoming tainted by mortal rage and fear. These corrupted faeries began to enter the Earth realm and launch deadly assaults on mortals. The escalation of this conflict was averted when MI13 operative Pete Wisdom entered into an arranged marriage with the daughter of Oberon, king of the faeries.[27]
Battle with Merlyn[]
In a more recent event, an insane Merlyn, overtaken by his evil aspects, attacked Otherworld and murdered Roma in an attempt to reclaim the Omniversal knowledge he believed was rightfully his. Merlyn also devastated the Captain Britain Corps by manipulating Mad Jim Jaspers and his Furies into an intercalation with Roma's Starlight Citadel. With Merlyn's plans foiled and Roma's apparent death, her servant, Saturnyne, the Omniversal Majestrix of Otherworld, reclaimed the title of Omniversal Guardian.[60]
After being infected by a shard of the Fury construct, Merlyn was captured by the combined might of all the world's Higher Evolutionaries and imprisoned in the “dark realms” by the faerie king Oberon, where his saner aspects eventually regained control.[61]
The Skrulls steal Otherworld's talismans
Skrull Secret Invasion[]
During the Skrulls' Secret Invasion of Earth, they also invaded Otherworld through the Siege Perilous in the Cheviot Hills of Scotland, intending to seize its magic for themselves.[19] The rehabilitated Merlyn telepathically instructed Captain Britain to sacrifice himself in combat with the invaders. Once the Skrull sorcerers had nearly completed their plan to steal Otherworld's magic, Merlyn convinced MI13 agent Pete Wisdom to free him, as his magic had remained untouched by the Skrulls. Having collected all the evil within himself into the Fury shard, Merlyn extracted the fragment and magically inverted its hero-killing symbolism, resurrecting Captain Britain stronger than before. This allowed Captain Britain to ultimately defeat the Skrulls.[62]
Chaos War[]
Mikaboshi attacks Otherworld
When the Chaos King, an identity of the evil god Amatsu-Mikaboshi, set out to destroy all of existence, he attempted to absorbed the various magical realms of different pantheons. Among these realms was the Celtic Otherworld. Mikaboshi was confronted by King Arthur and his army.[63]
War with Horoam'ce[]
The Battle for Otherworld
Shortly after the hibernation of Merlyn and Roma,[64] Otherworld was invaded by the undead army of Horoam'ce, the Goat of Self-Propagation. The Goat sought to storm the doorways of Tower Omniverse, located at the heart of Starlight Citadel, and spread his madness throughout all of reality. The mutant black-ops team, X-Force, became entangled in the conflict when Fantomex was brought to Otherworld by the Captain Britain Corps to stand trial for his crimes. Psylocke discovered that the Goat was a future version of Jamie Braddock, possessed by Horoam'ce. Psylocke was forced to kill her brother, which resulted in the death of his future counterpart and ended the threat of the Goat Monk.[65] A funeral for Jamie Braddock was held on Otherworld shortly afterward.[66]
The Manchester Gods
War with the Manchester Gods[]
Not long after, a god known as Manchester emerged in the northern part of Otherworld, embodying the forces of industrial revolution and urbanization. As Manchester grew stronger, it spawned children, and the Manchester Gods began waging war against the rulers of Otherworld, seeking to seize political power and bring modernization to the realm. The Asgardian All-Mother sent Loki to assist their allies, the old gods; however, the trickster god chose to ally himself with the Manchester Gods. Ultimately, the forces of the Manchester Gods forced the old gods to sign an armistice and surrender.[67] However, the new order did not last long. When Surtur used the technology of the Manchester Gods to assault Asgardia, Loki persuaded the Manchester Gods to sacrifice themselves in order to save the universe.[68][69]
Incursions[]
A newly-resurrected Lady Roma and the Omniversal Majestrix Saturnyne watched helplessly as entire universes perished during the events known as the incursions, which saw the Multiverse collapse on itself.[1] Eventually, the Ivory Kings sent their forces to Otherworld. Within hours, the Starlight Citadel was overrun, and the entire Corps was destroyed.[70]
In secret, Saturnyne captured a Mapmaker and traveled with it through a rift in reality, arriving at a land that would later become Blightspoke. Merlyn, driven by paranoia, discovered her whereabouts, prompting Saturnyne to use the Mapmaker’s remaining fragments as a weapon to kill both Merlyn and Roma—who had aided her in the plan. This allowed Saturnyne to secure her position as Omniversal Guardian and select territories for Roma and Merlyn to rule, taking advantage of the time it would take for them to be reborn.[14]
Dawn of X[]
The destruction of the Captain Britain Corps plunged Otherworld into chaos. Merlyn and Roma turned against each other, each claiming a court and half of the kingdom, founding the Holy Republic of Fae and the Floating Kingdom of Roma Regina, respectively. This split Otherworld into two halves: the Fair Courts and the Foul Courts, each with five vassal states or kingdoms. Despite the conflict, Opal Luna Saturnyne retained her role as the rightful ruler of Otherworld and its domains.[9][2] In Camelot, King Arthur vanished, and Morgan Le Fey assumed the role of Queen Regent of Avalon.[26]
Saturnyne, the rightful ruler of Otherworld
Shortly after, Morgan Le Fay declared war on Saturnyne. Following an initial attack, the Starlight Citadel was cloaked for protection.[17] Amid the turmoil, a gateway to Otherworld appeared on the newly-formed mutant nation of Krakoa. While Morgan Le Fay sought to destroy the gateway to prevent mutant dominance, Apocalypse had other plans to keep it open. In the aftermath, a new Excalibur, led by Betsy Braddock as Captain Britain, stormed Otherworld and deposed Morgan Le Fay. Jamie Braddock was crowned King of Avalon.[71]
Battle with Arakko[]
After the creation of the External Gate–a larger gateway between Krakoa and Otherworld[31]–Apocalypse sought to recover Arakko and rescue his family. A demon horde led by his First Horsemen attacked Otherworld, conquering Dryador and ambushing Apocalypse and his Krakoan allies. Saturnyne proposed a tournament between Krakoa and Arakko’s champions to settle the conflict.[9]
With prophecies guiding the champions, both sides competed in events hosted by Otherworld's kingdoms.[13] Arakko led, but Krakoa tied before the final duel between Apocalypse and his demon-possessed wife, Genesis. As Apocalypse gained the upper hand, Genesis surrendered to Annihilation, summoning his demonic forces. The Krakoans, aided by the restored Captain Britain Corps and reinforcements, overcame the demons. Apocalypse merged with Annihilation, surrendered the tournament, and restored order to Otherworld.[72]
