Otherworld is the subconscious of the British Isles[2] (other accounts states that only its geography is, in part, shaped by the collective British subconscious), a small otherdimensional planetary body,[3] the home of all magic,[2] and a "pocket" dimension adjacent to Earth.[4][5]
Otherworld is the current location of the Court of Camelot ruled by King Arthur. Other points of interest include the Isle of Avalon, the Green Chapel (home of the Green Knight, which also exists simultaneously on Earth) and the Starlight Citadel, headquarters of the Omniversal guardian Roma until her apparent death, and, formerly, her father Merlyn. The Captain Britain Corps are also headquartered in Otherworld. The other island is known as Tír na nÓg.
The Proud Walker, who knows the old paths between the worlds, needed to go across the small town of Stanleigh, England, to reach Otherworld.[6][7]
