Reply To: Enchanted Forest: Realm or Kingdom?

***Arguments *for* the Enchanted Forest being the name of an area in a world, not the name of the whole world/dimension***:

-The pilot script labels the scene between Rumple and EQ in the dungeons as ”FTL” or Fairy Tale World

-Most official ABC press releases, such as the summaries about what is coming up in the  next episode labels this world as FTL

-There seems to be separate kingdoms, and not all of them are covered in trees, for example Agraba, and Aurora’s kingdom. Therefore it is not really logical to say that these kingdoms are part of a forest.

-Sherwood Forest seems to be annexed to EF, rather than an a part of it, due to having a separate name.

-To get to EF from Arendelle (and vice versa), it is a boat ride on ordinary waters. These waters were never shown to be a portal between worlds.

***Evidence for EF and Arendelle being separate continents in the same world***

-Again, the boat ride.

-That EF is labelled ”Mist Haven” by the Arendelle , implying that contact between the two areas is not impossible, but is infrequent.

However, it could be that Arendelle is a peninsula, and the mountains to the north make it hard to access the rest of the land mass that way, so they choose to travel by water instead (like how one might journey to Italy from other parts of southern Europe hundreds of years ago).

Still, they are definitely seem to be separate areas of the same world, and that world is called FTL.

The list is not exhaustive.

I look forward to seeing more  more arguments for, and arguments against too.  😉
