Here is information about some of the locations and kingdoms. Click the name of the location to be directly linked to its board.
2nd Kingdom:
The 2nd Kingdom is ruled by Red Riding Hood III. It is rather obvious by the titles of some of the areas within the kingdom.
4th Kingdom: The fourth kingdom borders all of the others, and is perhaps the largest of all the 9 kingdoms. It is ruled by Wendell White, Snow White's grandson. It is a beautiful, fertile land who's beauty is known by all. The currency in this kingdom is Wendells. It contains several towns and small villages.
- Wendell's Castle:
Wendell's castle is enormous. It has a large entrance and rooms typical of a castle; a dungeon, several bedrooms, a great all, a kitchen, etc. There are many servants that reside there. All in all, it is a gorgeous castle and Prince Wendell is only too happy to live there. - Kissing Town:
This town is the most romantic of all the 9 kingdoms; where everyone falls in love. As you enter, you cannot resist the romance that you are surrounded with. It is here that people choose to get married, and it was in this town where Snow White lay while she waited for her prince charming to come to her to waken her from her slumber. There is an area in memory of that, where you can lie in her place with your own prince charming. You can even get kissing lessons here. It is also in this town that the greatest chef in all the 9 kingdoms lives and owns his own restaurant that people travel miles to go to. For entertainment, there is an auction you can attend as well as a casino where games like Snap and Go Fish are played. You are also able to buy very special rings; some talk, some sing, some are handmade by dwarfs...this is the place to go to if you want to spend a romantic time with your beloved. - Little Lamb Village:
This village is a rural one. It is famous for its magic wishing well which causes animals to become young and healthy again, and fruits and vegetables to be extremely juicy and delicious. Home of the village idiot, and the Peeps (descendants of Bo Peep), everyone in this village are into farming. They have an annual competition where they compete for things such as who has the best radishes to who is the best shepherdess in the whole village. This is hosted by the judge of the town, who is a well respected man. They dislike wolves (due to all the farm animals they have) and take their jobs as farmers quite seriously. - Snow White Memorial Prison:
This prison is the most southern part of the 4th kingdom and houses the most dangerous criminals in all the nine kingdoms. The governor of this prison is very strict and leniency is not in his vocabulary. If you are caught doing something you shouldn't, you'll most likely get bean stalk lashes. This prison serves bean stalk juice and bean stalk soup; not the most appetizing kind of food but it's better than old mattress. The Tooth Fairy also stays here, though it seems obvious that no one goes to him unless they need something bought, sold or made. A range of prisoners stay here: trolls, dwarfs, frogmen, etc. The one thing they have in common is that they are extremely dangerous and if they are in a cell in here, then it means they belong and should stay there.
8th Kingdom: This Kingdom, ruled by Sleeping Beauty, is a land of ice and snow, where it is forever winter. Not many townspeople live here, but the ones who do reside in this kingdom are hunters and ice fishers. It has a huge forest, and is the most mysterious of all the kingdoms. Its huge castle stands with high walls and the bright colours it is composed of makes it hard to miss. These people are very wary of outsiders. Bring a gift or two if you travel here, and it will make your host treat you very well.
9th Kingdom: This is a small kingdom, perhaps the smallest of them all, and is mostly made up of mines.
- Dragon Mountain:
This is a mine where the dwarfs work and manufacture magic mirrors. They are very secretive about their work and do not like intruders coming in because they fear people will steal their secrets. If they do see someone trespassing, then the penalty for that person is death. There are no more dragons in this land however; only the bones and remains of them. To enter the mine, you have to climb a very large cliff, and the entrance is a massive skeleton of a dragon. It’s easy to get lost in the mines. It is also the resting place of Snow White, where she is kept in an icy tomb.
The 10th Kingdom: The 10th kingdom is our present day.
- Central Park, New York
When you first turn on the magic mirror, you will see Central Park, in New York City. The 10th Kingdom was titled by the three trolls who believed they were the first to discover this land. It is a typical area of the 21st Century that those living in the 9 kingdoms either know very little, or nothing about.
Troll Kingdom:
Ruled by Relish the Troll King, this land is polluted and the less than rich part of the kingdom within the 9 kingdoms. Part of the trolls animosity for Wendell was because they do not have rich fertile land like he does. As you enter the troll castle, there are massive statues of trolls on either side of the path way. The troll castle itself is very large and in one of the rooms, there is a section devoted to shoes where thousands of pairs of shoes are kept by the troll king and his children.
- Bean Forest:
This forest is part of the Troll Kingdom. It used to be prosperous but is not polluted with beanstalks. Giants are said to roam these lands so you must beware of them as you enter. The grave of Brave Jack is in this forest. Be careful though; if you try to escape from the trolls into this forest, the trolls will come after you with hunting dogs.
The Enchanted Forest
This forest is a very dangerous but pretty one; there is magic around every corner. It has lovely trees and is rather large. It is home of the blind woodsman, as well as the threatening huntsman who has an order that states all poachers will be killed. It is very large, and its best to travel in groups through these woods because you never know what may happen.
- Snow White's Cottage:
This is a significant cottage, and a big part of the history of the nine kingdoms. It was a small cottage where Snow White lived with the dwarfs after escaping her evil step mother. Inside are seven of everything: seven mugs, seven beds etc. It has been lost for a very long time, but it's not impossible to find. Just don't eat the apples outside the cottage, no matter how juicy they look; they more than likely grew from the seeds of the apple that poisoned Snow White. - Hunting Lodge:
Within the Enchanted Forest is Wendell's very large, very beautiful hunting lodge. He goes there ocassionally to get away from all the chaos of his life and just relax in this estate. It is large, but one still has to know where they are going to be able to find it.
The Deadly Swamp
This swamp is located 13 miles from Wendell's castle. It is a very dangerous area. The land is of course swampy and muddy, and it is very green and misty. There are three things that you must never do under any circumstances: don't eat the magic mushrooms, don't drink the swamp water, and don't fall asleep. If you do one of these things, it will lead to the other two and you may find yourself fall asleep only to never wake up again. Don't trust the small little pixies either; they are usually up to no good. Beware of the Swamp Witch as well, she is too be feared and best to be avoided...if you can.
- The Swamp Witch's Cottage:
This cottage is where the Evil Step-mother who poisoned Snow White many years ago escaped to after she was caught and they made her dance wearing the red hot iron slippers. She stayed in this cottage for the remainder of her life, plotting. She found her successor and it was here that she taught her everything she needed to know. She became known as the Swamp Witch, since she was still dangerous and people came to fear The Swamp Witch a great deal. Her body, grave, is kept in the cellar of this cottage. So if she is dead...who is the 'Swamp Witch' who is still terrorizing people to enter the swamp?It is Acorn the dwarf
