Description
[REDACTED PER PROTOCOL 4000 ESHU], formerly known as [color=green]SCP-4000[/color], colloquially known as [color=green]Taboo[/color], also known as [color=green]Wonderland[/color], [color=green]Fairyland[/color], [color=green]Neverland[/color], [color=green]Oz[/color], and [color=green]Arcadia[/color] is an anomalous location described in the SCP Foundation Mythos.
The [color=green]Location in Question[/color] is an "Eshu-Class Nomenclative Infohazard". What this means is that the when talking about persons, places, or things that are in or from these strange and [color=green]Mystical Woods[/color], it is important to describe them differently every time using a colorful euphemism or series of adjectives rather than a consistent designation. This is known as "Protocol 4000 Eshu".
In terms of geography the [color=green]Land of Infinite Labels[/color] is depicted as a forest or woods with that can only be navigated safely by following a [color=brown]Brown Dirt Road[/color]. Although the geography is inconsistent and nonsensical. The [color=purple]native denizens[/color] of [color=green]The Forest of Forgotten Names[/color] are also inconsistent and nonsensical, frequently taking on the form of therians, talking animals, objects, monsters, etc. and there appearance changing randomly and sporadically. This is due to their as Nameless "Eshu-class entities" for you see, if something becomes "named" by giving it a consistent descriptor within the [color=green]Woods Where Words Become Weapons[/color], that things name becomes stolen and distributed among those who have acknowledged the labeling. This in turn causes potentially violent, lethal, or dangerous transformations as the thing that has acknowledged the labeling will take on aspects of the thing that has been labeled while the thing that has been labeled will lose distinct aspects of its identity.
According to the "lore" the [color=purple]People Living with the Land[/color] are Homo Sapiens Sidhe, the Children of the Stars. More commonly known as the Fae. They are not truly native to the [color=green]Place Where they Found Refuge[/color] and are in actuality imprisoned. They cannot leave without a name, which is why they try and trick humans to steal their names so that they may return home.
[color=green]The Place Which is Not Anyone's Place of Origin[/color] is actually the same dreamlike setting used in many fantasy stories, novels, and fairytales such as Alice Through the Looking Glass and Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz
