- "It will not come as a surprise to many of you that there are other worlds besides our own. This is not conjecture, it is fact. I have never been to these worlds, and you will never go there. The art of passing between worlds is an area of magic about which very little is known. But we do know some of these worlds are inhabited."
- ―Henry Fogg
The Multiverse is the collective term for all parallel worlds and dimensions in existence.
History[]
While the details of the creation of reality are not known, the Old Gods, the oldest and strongest of all gods, are said to be responsible for the existence of the universe, life and magic itself. Over time these entities would go on to create the gods humans know of in modern myth, who themselves would create dimensions, realms and worlds of their own. Over time this collection of parallel worlds, realms and dimensions would become known as the multiverse.
Known Worlds and Dimensions[]

- Neitherlands: The nexus point of all knowledge in the multiverse, the Neitherlands is a series of ring-shaped planets that exist outside of the natural flow of time. It is the native home of Neitherlanders and is full of fountains which act as portals to realms throughout the multiverse. Over time it was made into the home of the ultimate repository for any and all information on everything in existence. Every book written or unwritten, including books containing the entire lives of all beings, past and future, throughout the multiverse. Practically all magical texts in every language of every discipline, even ones capable of killing gods, are held within the library of the Neitherlands.
- Physical Plane: The dimension where Earth is located, alongside other planets and galaxies. It is home to Fairies, many Magicians, and various magical creatures.
- Alternate Timelines: Within the physical plane, there are worlds that contain what are known as alternate timelines. When events in a particular worlds' history are changed using Time Magic, the timeline diverges into separate realities, existing parallel to one another. Using certain methods, magicians are capable of communicating with and traveling to these realities.
- Astral Plane: A dimension in which the astral form of Magicians exist detached from their physical bodies.
- Fillory: The home of the Wellspring, Fillory is a magical land mass ruled by gods Ember and Umber and the setting of the Fillory and Further series.

- Fairy Realm: The Fairy Realm is an enigmatic dimension constructed by one of the Seven Golden Keys following the Fairies' migration to Fillory.

- Poison World: The Poison World is a planet utilized by the Order of the Library of the Neitherlands to safekeep dangerous books, such as books containing god-killing spells, as well as the Books of members of the Order. The Poison World earns its name due to the amount of radiation that visitors are exposed to.
- Underworld: The Underworld is the dimension that souls and Shades of the departed go to rest. It was founded by Hades and his queen Persephone, who created Underworld Meadows to tend to the needs of the dead. It is where Shades reside.
- Mirror Realm: A dark parallel of the Material Dimension, the Mirror Realm is a dimension that exists between mirrors.[2] Magicians developed Mirror Bridges to avoid traveling through the Mirror Realm due to its twisted properties.[3] The Mirror Realm is the home of Shards[2] and Trolls.[4]
