The Forgotten Lands

Location from The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

The realms beyond normal reality — dimensions, afterlives, and spaces between spaces that the librarians can access through the Library and that ordinary humans never know exist.

Also known as: the forgotten lands, the other places, beyond, the realms

What They Know

• Not a single location but a category of spaces existing outside human-accessible reality
• Margaret navigates the death-adjacent forgotten lands; David has fought through the violent ones
• Human minds are built to forget encounters with these spaces — a defensive mechanism
• The Library may itself be a structure built in the forgotten lands and anchored to Earth
• Entities exist in the forgotten lands that are not gods but operate at scales beyond human comprehension
• Father's disappearance may involve the forgotten lands — he may have gone deeper than even his children can follow
