Oz
Introduction
When L. Frank Baum wrote about Oz in 1900 he believed that it was a "real place" which he could visit. He was right. It is. It is not the only realm to appear in literature that is real (see: Wonderland).
Description
Oz was once one of the great realms of the Fae but has been forever susceptible to civil unrest and infighting as is well documented. By the time The War in the Dreaming began Oz and The Emerald City were already shadows of their former glory, war-torn and ragged, and when the realm, like Wonderland was placed under siege by the forces of The Nothing what was left of it's Blackmetal led by Dorothy and Queen Ozma fought valiantly, however, the outcome was less than ideal with Ozma believed killed and the realm all but destroyed, certainly reduced to a deserted wasteland.
Despite this Oz still retains significant magical power, and is littered with magical artifacts from both The War in the Dreaming and its many civil wars before that. It is perhaps only a matter of time before an enterprising Fae lays claim to the wastes and rebuilds. The only obstacle to this is Dorothy who after the death of Ozma is the defacto, technical, ruler of the realm - although her claim has complications (the largest of which is that she is not Fae). It is perhaps this complication which has left Oz languishing in the state it finds itself in, it's ripe for conquest, but out of respect for her efforts for The Treaty during The War in the Dreaming The God-Emperor has not ordered, or sanctioned any large scale official incursion into or takeover of the realm.
