Alice in Wonderland is a classic novel written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the tale of a girl, Alice Lidell, who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by anthropomorphic figures and is best known as a prime example of nonsense literature.
At Once Upon a Nightmare, we sought to incorporate this tale into the very history of our site. It was determined that Allutheria would be our Wonderland, populated with incredible figures and arrogant fae while Alice herself would be a human resident of Ga'leah. Alice's travels into Allutheria seemed the perfect agent to bring about the Blight to the land of the Fae, and the colorful cast of characters and monarchs were easily combined with other tales such as Anastasia and Swan Lake.
Canon Tale[]
Even before the Blight came to Ga’leah, unknown portals had begun to open between the human kingdoms and the Fae kingdom of Allutheria. One such portal was known only to a few of the magical creatures who called Allutheria home…and a single young woman who stumbled upon it quite by accident.
Drawn to the magic and land of wonders through the portal, Alice found herself adventuring there, meeting Faery Queens and a whole host of supernatural creatures the likes of which she had never dreamed of seeing. But as the Walking Starvation spread, Alice sought refuge in Allutheria more and more often…each trip strengthened the portal, broadening it, widening it…until much more than a mere girl or a magical rabbit could venture through.
Alice brought the Blight with her to Allutheria. It came as a black nothingness, eating pieces of the Faery kingdom, growing and devouring more every day. The Walking Starvation, too, came infecting many who came in contact with the human girl. The Red Court blames Alice and has sent out emissaries to kill the girl and end the danger she brings to them all…but the White Court believes the child to be innocent and struggles to find her and save her. Because the reach of the Red Court is broad, they have agents in every kingdom in the guise of friends and innocents. If the Red Court wants Alice dead, it is likely that they will succeed. And if they do not, there are a host of other evils wandering the lands more than capable of doing the deed.
