Demon Realm

The Boiling Isles

The Demon Realm is the homeworld of Eda, King, Amity Blight, Willow, Gus, Tibbles, Bosch, Warden Wrath, and Principal Bumpa. Despite it's name, it is a world of fantasy creatures including griffins, vampires, and so on (As well as giraffes, which were banished to Earth), as every myth made by humans were from this world leaking to Earth. As revealed in the SAFA series, the Boiling Isles, the setting of The Owl House, rests on the Lovecraftian world of Yuggoth, which has changed a noticeable lot since it's description in Lovecraftian lore, and that it was only adjacent to Pluto for a short time during Lovecraft's time. The realm itself was made by Azathoth, the ruler of Mischievers, to create monsters. But the inhabitants rebelled and broke off as their own world, and with help from Yuggoth's native race, the Mi-Go, banished them away forever thanks to the manufacture of Lovecraftium, an unstable metal that can harm Outer Gods. Luz Noceda currently resides here to become a witch, and currently fights against Azathoth's family and learns about the history of H.P. Lovecraft, who was a UUniversal Crusader who took the biggest risk of exploring what was outside dimensional space, the domain of Outer Gods.

Locations

Yuggoth

Yuggoth is the setting planet, in which the Boiling Isles is situated. Like in Lovecraftian horror, it is the home planet of the Mi-Go, seahorse-shaped insect-like fungi that are renowned alchemists and the creators of Lovecraftium, historically called 'Iagh-metal'. Before Azathoth arrived, the Demon Realm and these planets were like a normal fantasy dimension where the Dreamlands allowed sleeping humans to live their fantasy and even willingly become reincarnated as a demon with a form of their choosing through any means of dying, and had it's own identity free of any Lovecraftian horrors. But when Azathoth arrived, Yuggoth was chosen to quarantine Mischiever-infected Earth lands by transporting them there. As a result, Yuggoth became the wonderland of Lovecraftian fiction while the other Lovecraftian fictional planets orbit the same system. Azathoth always returns in a few millennia to try and claim the Demon Realm again, but Lovecraftium weapons allowed the inhabitants to drive him away, but not before he undoes the fantasy they molded.

The Boiling Isles

The Boiling Isles is the central setting of The Owl House. It is located primarily within the skeleton of a giant titan called Bo'il the Boiler.

• The Owl House: A small cottage located on the cliffs outside the Bonesborough. It is the home of Eda, King, and currently Luz. It is secured by a sentient owl door decoration that serves as the consciousness of the house named Hooty.
• Hexside University: Commonly misspelled and/or confused to be called 'Hackside University', this is a school of witchcraft and where Willow, Gus, and Amity attend. The principal is named Principal Hieronymus Bumpe.
• Bonesborough: The local town on the Isles.
  • Bonesborough Park: An ironically relaxing and peaceful part of an island known for crazy shenanigans. It's where the locals can walk pets, having strolls and feed dragon ducks and harpy pigeons.
  • Slayground: A children's public playground.
  • Ravencroft Street: A notoriously-rougher neighborhood compared to the rest of Bonesborough even at it's most rough. It is home to the roughest demons and unnatural horror gangs that reside there, including a gang that literally named themselves after the street, The Ravencrofters. These gangs are known to be rough to those not of the street, especially to humans. It is also the location of the Sheriff's office where Gallstrich the License-Maker can be located, being the only reason why residence out from the neighborhood have to be at risk of confrontation when otherwise folks are content to give these gangs their space.
    • Sewage Pool of Mlandoth: Once being Ravencroft's underground sewage treatment plant, and is now secretly a tainted gateway to Mlandoth itself.
  • Dead Man's Curve: A large highway-like skeletal structure typically considered dangerous, as name implies.
• The Marketplace: A marketplace within Bonesborough where Eda runs a stand and sells objects found in the human world while trying to hide from the local authorities. It is where the Luncheon can be found.
  • Adegast's Palace: The palace of the good wizard Adegast. It was left in ruins after being attacked by a servant of Hastur, who assimilated Adegast into a puppet as a former Mortal-Napper, alongside others, until liberation with the servant's defeat, the palace recovered quite well. Adegast was a renowned critic of the Conformity and Steamworks, and is thus not popular with either of them.
  • Night Market: A night-active market for when the Marketplace closes for the night for the convenience of late-night shoppers.
  • Kitty Cafe: A Cat-Cafe-like area where lesser demons are treated like pets and over-cuddled to the point of stultification. It turned out that the place was actually under the care of two pets of the real owner, Madam Euthanasia, the pet trade figure of the Conformity, who upon returning from trade business took it back to it's 'proper pet shop' position along with turning her pets back into creatures.
• The Library: The local library of the Boiling Isles that's like any average library, except its books are enchanted and can levitate. It is also a site of a literalist interpretation of books being a gateway to imagination, as when affected by the Wailing Star, where the natural one or the artificial created during the fiasco with Nug and Yeb, the contents of the books can come to life as astral imagination avatars, from making projections of species of lost creatures come to life to basically being a child's fantasy come true as this even brings fictional characters to life. But this is often for as long as the book is kept opened cause otherwise the projection vanishes. This is the location of Manuia and her collection of disguised Infintaries and the hideaway location of the Neonomicon.
• Lovecraft Forest: A forest that holds true to its name of being extremely Lovecraftian in flora and fauna, including primitive Shoggoths that behave like intelligent wolves, and tentacle tree forests, among other Lovecraftian or eldritch horrors.
  • N'Kai Caves: A colossal underground cavern that is actually living and holds predatory shadows. It can be accessed from both the Lovecraft Forest and from beneath K'n-yan.
  • Tsathoggua Temple: A giant and secretly-mobile temple found inside N'kai Caves, where Tsathoggua resided and is the former residence of Rothrock.
  • Blue Waterfalls of Yig's Tears: A waterfall named after the tragic existence of Yig. The Serpent People colony of these falls believe this place was the site of Yig's extremely long cry that so much so that the once empty cavernous cave of nothing became a beautiful site cause Yig unknowingly turned this empty place into a viable and beautiful oasis, used by the Serpent People that still stick by him to build a snake reserve temple that welcomes snakes and/or those of snake-eqsed quality or just anything a reptile, but are weary to anything not a reptile, espeically so to mammals cause of netourious conflicts between the animal types.
• The Conformitorium: A city-like asylum/prison and colony plantation of the Administration of Conformity where ever since the declaration of it's Prime Minister, was a site that held those with abnormal behaviors or traits, dubbed 'abnormals', to be held against their will by Warden Wrath to 'make normal'. The City is mainly the home of Conformity Guards and staff including other deputies like Gluttony, Pride, Greed, Lust, Sloth, and Envy. In thanks to Luz, the abnormals have escaped the area after Warden Wrath's defeat.
• Cat Village: A cutesy and wholesome village of tiny cat munchkins and one of the few places in the Boiling Isles actually decent. Though it did unfortunately suffer an attack from a servent of Hastur like with Adegast, assimilating a few inhabitants in the process, but upon the cat munchkins' liberation, the town began recovering.
• Thorn Memorial: An area that is actually the burial site of Ordain's lost love. It was used as the site of a magical flower said to give enturnal youth used by a con-artisting creature as a means to get food, but has now suffered a humiliating beating from Eda and Lilith. That incompetent scam predator has been since shipped to imprisonment in Underland. Ordain has been known to come to this spot for a private area of sadness.
• Bloodstorm Bar: A bar for vampires that earned its name for being in vampire country, where it literally rains blood, graphic but normal for vampires. The bar is where vampires that can't go their urges go, thus often even the mere act of entering the bar will leave you being a free snack to them, even if you're with the Conformity.
• Sunbaked Meadow: A desert paradise for reptilians of the Demon Realm. It mostly holds small reptile villages. Reptoblade and his daughter Bladia were from this meadow as it is the homeland of the Metaltiles, reptilians capable of growing blades from their bodies and enable them to be good weaponsmiths. Though a lot of them have been turned into slave laborers by Steamworks, which the Conformity had allowed because the Metaltiles are repeat resisters of the Conformity, explaining Bladia's rebellion attempt cut short by the Administrator himself.
  • Battle-Roma Domed Arena: A giant repurposed giant demon turtle skeletal remains used as an arena for 'Battle-Roma' fights.
• Gyraffe: A ruined city of the giraffes, and home of Raffia. It was once a vibrant place as giraffes were once in touch with nature and capable of great things, but the city fell into ruins after the giraffes got exiled from the realms for being too pushy about their nature-protectionist views.
• Maskatonic Valley: A valley literally situated in the heart of the island, and the home of King Asmodeus, and the location of a vibrant and lawfully-protected Whippoorwill Forest Park.
• Azathoth Falls: A series of falls and a pool made of human blood. This is one of the most scenic locations of the Boiling Isles.
• Skull Cave: A Lovecraftium-rich cave situated in the island's skull that is now under a Steamworks Operation. This was briefly ended by Luz back when Steamworks was under Devilin, but operations were re-established under the more sharing and benevolent Princess H'ott'a, who is now Lovia's new love interest after Amity grew more romantically interested in Luz.
• Stomachberg: A near-metropolis city residing on a platform above an ocean of stomach acid found in the Titan's stomach. It is the home site of the most aggressive and powerful of demons within the Boiling Isles, and considered the criminal capital, partially since it became the home of the Satan Coven thanks to Lucifer, a former archangel that served the Conformitory. This in turn made the city the most hellish-themed of any part of the Boiling Isles if not Yuggoth or any other world in the Demon Realm. Demons here have become too embracing of demon nature that Stomachberg has earned the nicknamed "The Acidpits of Society". It is a highly crimimal and vile community, and residence here have been known to treat any visitors and/or each other like garbage and even torture them or trick them into scams or humiliating situations. It possesses marketplaces ruled by con artists that make Eda look honest in comparison, the idea of law is a joke in this city as crimes go unaddressed, and was all once ruled by the most distasteful of the distasteful, Setan's father Alastor De Vigne, who briefly takes over the Satan Coven and results in it's eventual downfall upon the destruction of the Gem of Pure Evil. This in turn makes Stomachberg Setan's hometown.
• Femurshire Caves: A cave located in the Titan's femur, the one standing, where it is the hideout of Eda's old group, the Funny Bone Gang.
• The Knee: A snowy mountain area located on the eponymous knee of the Titan, and the home of flowing 'wild magic' and that of fearsome predators like the Slitherbeast, where witches were drawn to it for its natural power, as evidenced by a site of ancient ruins whose old name was lost to time.
• Ribcage Mountains: A range of mountains situating the eponymous ribs of the Titan which commonly houses aerial demons and unnatural horrors. It is the surrogate home of Prime Minister Horrorwing before his ascension allowed him a Conformity-granted mansion in the Richer Mainland.
• Imperial Palace: An imperial palace where Emperor Belos and the Emperor's Coven reside, located within the literal heart lands of the Boiling Isles and built over the still-beating green heart of the departed Bo'il himself. The palace also possesses alchemist themes such as mechanical and factory-like architecture, befitting that within the walls of it, is a secret operation of it keeping the Demon Realm as it is utilizing the energy of Mlandoth. This architecture is based around the designs of Belos and his predecessor and father Emperor Hellion, who both went to the Boiling Isles from Zothique to escape the suffering the continent goes through, and when Hellion passes on, Belos takes his place with plans to bring forth the 'Unity', which involves both the Demon Realm and Earth, while also requiring the destruction of all covenless witches first, as well as a plan to harness the power of Mlandoth and Mril Thorion involving Eda and Lilith.

Outside Boiling Isles

Due to its enchantment of bringing quarantined Mischiever lands from Earth to its surface, the lands of Yuggoth outside the Boiling Isles are essentially containing all fictional locations of Lovecraftian lore. But the Dreamlands are actually native here. Some areas are based partially on mythological pitches of the penal afterlife.

This land is considered a safe haven island for creatures otherwise considered extinct elsewhere in the Demon Realm, and Set's Temple is a penultimate Snake Nirvana only seen by snakes or serpent-based folk. Even other reptiles have rarely seen Set's temple as it's abit more specific for snakes unlike the snake reserve of the Serpent People that still follow Yig, even when in Shuggon, it became a discontinued practice cause Set doesn't want to be reminded of Yig "For the time permitting".
