The Underworld and Hades

[Gaultheria]

Welcome to the Underworld! What did you make of this new land? Why does it look like Storybrooke?

I think of the “real” Storybrooke as a place between childhood (fairy tales) and adulthood (the real world), and I like how Red Storybrooke is something similar.

The five rivers of the realm of Hades, and their symbolic meanings, are Acheron (the river of sorrow, or woe), Cocytus (lamentation), Phlegethon (fire), Lethe (oblivion), and Styx (hate),

I wonder if there’s a Storybrooke for each of the colourful rivers, and which one’s the red one. Fire’s not really the obvious choice for red, not with Mr. Bad Hair Day.

Sounds like they’re going on the grand tour, so we’ll probably see all the colours.
