Other Location of Interest

Area Classes

As shown on the map above, anomalous locations are given one of the following classifications, based on how obvious their anomalous properties are and how likely civilians from outside the Nexus are to encounter them. For more information on Nexus definitions and properties, see this page.

Briar

Nexus features extranormal events and anomalous objects at a higher-than-normal rate. These are generally only noticeable to permanent inhabitants, requiring little or no cover-up by the Foundation.

Name derived from the Briar Patch, from the Br'er Rabbit folktales.

Asphodel

Nexus features a high frequency of extranormal events and anomalous objects. Most visitors will notice that something about this place is unusual, requiring some cover-up by the Foundation.

Name derived from the Fields of Asphodel, the afterlife in Greek Mythology.

Camelot

Anomalous activity is an integral part of the town. The Foundation must regularly perform cover-ups, and takes measures to prevent visitors, such as removing the settlement from maps of the area. Containment Facilities may be required on a case-by-case basis.

Name derived from castle of Camelot, from the legends of King Arthur.

Shangri-La

Frequent and unpredictable anomalous activity, which the Foundation deals with as it occurs. The Foundation actively prevents civilians from entering the area. Containment facility required.

Name derived from the hidden valley of Shangri-La, from James Hilton's Lost Horizon novel.

Dunwich

The entire place is anomalous, and almost entirely cut off from the non-anomalous world. Special measures may be required to keep personnel safe. Entry and exit tightly controlled. Containment facility required.

Name derived from the insular town of Dunwich, from the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

Free Port

Hubs of commerce and living, accessible only through anomalous means. These communities are aware of the anomalous, and make use of it in everyday life. These hubs are protected by national or international law, restricting or forbidding Foundation intervention, with law enforcement within the Nexus often performed by its own local government.

Crossroads

Anomalous location connected to one or more alternate realities in addition to our own reality. These may be alternative timelines that diverged from our own at some point in the past, or entire universes operating under different physical laws to our own. These alternate realities are distinct from so-called "pocket universes", which are also separated from baseline reality, but are significantly smaller in size.

Turing

Anomalous location existing within a computer simulation, rather than in physical space.

Named after the computer scientist and philosopher, Alan Turing.

Other Locations of Interest

A number of other inhabited anomalous locations have come to the attention of the Foundation, but are not currently categorised as a Nexus or Free Port, or may have unusual attributes resulting in a non-standard Nexus Class.

List of Nexuses

Nx-01: The Wanderers' Library

Area Class: Dunwich Crossroads

Accessible From: Baseline, Multiverse

Description: This vast extradimensional library allegedly catalogs everything that has ever been written down, containing countless books that cannot be found anywhere else, including many documenting the occult and paranormal. Although the Foundation has been aware of the Library since 1955, it has existed for much longer than that. The Library is also known as the Nexus of Worlds and the Great Library Yggdrasil due to its connection to multiple universes, with a particularly close connection to other anomalous libraries such as SCP-1726 and SCP-4001. The Nexus and the books within are maintained and protected by various inhuman entities known as Librarians. Individuals that harm the Library, its books, or its patrons are punished by transformation into one of these Librarians, serving the Library until they work off their debt. This has been the fate of a number of Foundation personnel during incursions into the Library, and so the Foundation has adopted a more diplomatic approach to this specific location. The Library is reportedly headed by an entity known as The Serpent, and serves as the base of operations for GoI-014 ("The Serpent's Hand").

Nx-5525: New Atlantis

Area Class: Free Port

Accessible From: Glen Canyon Dam, Arizona, USA

Description: The Republic of New Atlantis, also known The Restored Thalassocracy of the Peoples of the Sea, is an Atlantean Colony and a City-State located in Arizona. It was founded by a small number of Atlanteans (Homo sapiens aquarius) removed from SCP-5525, where they were maintained in stasis within an anomalous device known as the "Untimely Mirror". The Atlanteans were subsequently granted a small region of land around a reservoir by the US Government, which has been developed into a small but secluded city, concealed through techno-thaumaturgy, but heavily monitored by the United States Military. Serving as a continuation of the original Atlantis, New Atlantis has an oligarchic and thalassocratic republic, with the rulers being the Admiralty Board of Senator-Admirals, elected from the New Atlantis Senate. The relationship between Atlantean race and the United States Government is based on the Biltmore Treaty, which was established with the help of the United Nation's Global Occult Coalition.

List of Free Ports

FP-05: The Pillars

Area Class: Free Port

Description: An extradimensional space containing a number of gigantic black stone pillars, suspended in an empty void and shrouded constantly by grey fog. Several towns have been constructed on multiple layers within, around and on bridges between these vast structures. Lanterns must remain constantly lit to protect its human inhabitants from hostile entities known as The-Shapes-In-The-Fog.

FP-14: San Kowloon (新九龍)

Area Class: Free Port

Accessible From: Hong Kong, China

Description: An expansive extradimensional space, formerly part of the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. The Freeport exists due to the lingering effects of SCP-184, which was utilized by an unknown party to significantly expand the internal space of buildings within the Walled City. Although these were thought to have been destroyed by the demolition of the city in 1994, it appears that significant portions survived within a pocket dimension. San Kowloon is a labyrinth of interconnected rooms, corridors and stairwells, and is now entirely controlled by Triads, who have divided up San Kowloon between them, creating twelve districts each one controlled by a organization together the "Twelve Lords of San Kowloon". The Foundation and Global Occult Coalition are currently working on finding a way into the paranormal enclave, although all attempts so far have failed.

FP-84: Wonder World!™

Area Class: Free Port

Accessible from: Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Surveillance Facility: Site-55

Description: Pronounced "Wonder World, Tee Emm," this city-sized extradimensional space serves as the headquarters for the Dr. Wondertainment Corporation, which employs the majority of the residents of Wonder World!™ in the research, development and manufacturing of their toys and other products. In addition to its role as a company town, Wonder World!™ has many of the attractions of a theme park, making it a popular tourist destination for the anomalous community. Permanent inhabitants of Wonder World!™ have been observed to develop changes to their physical appearance, ranging from alterations in pigmentation to more extreme mutations such as the growth of additional limbs.

FP-250: The Parashops

Area Class: Crossroads

Accessible From: Baseline, Multiverse

Description: Eponymously named, The Parashops are a Free Port marketplace with connections to sites across the anomalous world, Library included. Within are conventional shops holding wares and everyday products. The place is also home to a massive weekly Really Really Free Market, where anomalous items change hands freely. The Parashops have no true terrestrial location; the only way out and in is through Ways and other paranatural transportation methods. There are Doors on all seven continents — but they are ever-shifting mysteries known only for a month at a time.

"Infinite" Furniture Store

Description: SCP-3008-1 is an extradimensional space of potentially infinite volume, resembling an ████ store and located within a building previously owned and operated by the Swedish furniture retailer. It is inhabited by an unknown number of trapped humans, as well as by faceless entities dressed as ████ employees (SCP-3008-2). Although harmless at times corresponding to the original store's opening hours, these entities exhibit violent hostility during periods when the store would be closed. The Foundation prevents further entry and amnesticises any individual that manages to leave, although escape is infrequent due to the labyrinthine layout of the extradimensional store.

Undervegas

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; The Fourth Circle of Hell

Surveillance Facility: Site-666

Description: SCP-7666 is a region of space in which the city of Las Vegas overlaps with the Fourth Circle of Hell, the domain of greed. While the Foundation's actions in 1992 were able to anchor Las Vegas to baseline reality, Las Vegas and Hell continue to influence each other. This has resulted in a region of the Fourth Circle resembling a distorted and exaggerated version of Las Vegas, and has also enabled a number of Tartarean-class demonic entities to cross over from this demonic metropolis into Las Vegas. These entities are drawn towards and draw power from alcohol use, sexual intercourse, and gambling, and so it has been deemed impossible to fully exclude them from Las Vegas. Instead, containment of Undervegas involves cooperation with and employment of these Tartarean Entities, to ensure that the general public remains unaware of their presence within the city.

Undervegas is mostly populated by demons of all seven classical sins (i.e. Lust, Greed, Pride, etc.) and is controlled by seven Pit Bosses that each represent one of the seven sins and one of seven estates. The city of Undervegas is split into seven districts or known as estates, each representing a cardinal sin with each estate being controlled by the most powerful demon in that area or at that time, otherwise known as a 'Pit Boss'. The Fourth Estate, or the Moneypit, is the largest of all seven estates which is controlled by Ba'al, the pit boss of that estate.

UnLondon

Location: London, England, United Kingdom

Description: SCP-1678 is a reconstruction of the British city of London, located 1 kilometer underground and constructed entirely in a Victorian style. While it is currently only inhabited by a number of bio-mechanical constructs, it appears to have been constructed through anomalous means to serve as a shelter for survivors of an XK-class end-of-the-world event. The suitability of the location as a disaster shelter is currently being assessed by the Foundation, although it is far from being an ideal option.

This collaborative page is open for any site member to edit and add to, but you're welcome to make suggestions or get feedback on proposed additions in the Discussion. In general, the idea was to be as inclusive as possible within the general scope of "inhabited anomalous location".

Anyone is welcome to add to the list of articles in which a location appears or is described, although we're looking for more than just a brief mention. If there is a tag, please limit the appearances to no more than the 5, prioritising the most relevant or most informative articles.

This page is the responsibility of the Curation Team. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us via the #help-desk channel on the SCP Wiki Official Discord server, or via IRC chat #site17, or by messaging a member of the Collaboration Pages subteam.

Adding New Locations

The first section of this page is for all locations described in a Nexus format. Additional locations that are referred to as a Nexus within an SCP or Tale can be added, as long as they're given a number and described in sufficient detail to enable their inclusion here. Merely mentioning the name and Nexus number is insufficient, although there is a list of those on this page. International articles using a non-standard format will be added to the list at the appropriate place numerically if articles are translated, treating Nx-CN-08 as equivalent to Nx-08. Any entirely non-numerical designations will have to be listed at the end of the section.

Free Ports don't have a specified format in exactly the same way, but will generally be treated the same as just another type of Nexus — if the Free Port number appears in a published article, it can be included in the list.

For Locations of Interest, we're looking for a minimum of 2 appearances — otherwise we'd end up listing every SCP with the location and city tags, and we want to keep the length of this page manageable. To count as an appearance, we're looking for more than just the mention of the name — part of the story should focus on or take place in the Location of Interest. For an alternate reality to count as a Location of Interest, there needs to be a reliable way for people to travel there, as well as some way of communicating information about it back.

Template for new additions

Adding to the Map

If a Location is added to this list, it can also be added to the map, to indicate the general area it's located in or accessible from. Instructions for doing this can be found on the page where the map is hosted.

Adding New Images

New images representing specific locations or Nexus types can be added to the page, but before uploading them it's best to get feedback from the creator of the location, or at least from someone who's written articles featuring the location. While there's flexibility on size since the proportions of these images vary, as a general rule the height should not be more than 150px, and the width should not be more than 200px. To keep things consistent, for flags and other wide images set width="200px", while for coats of arms, seals and other round or square logos, set height="150px".
