The Foundation has identified a number of locations around the world (and beyond it) that are actively anomalous and support permanent communities. While these places would generally be given an SCP designation and evacuated, in some cases this is not possible, due to practical or political constraints. Although not all Locations of Interest are fully controlled by the Foundation, containment measures are in place to ensure that the general public remains unaware of their existence or anomalous nature.
An inhabited anomalous location designated as a Nexus permits residents to remain within it, under the supervision of the Foundation or another Group of Interest, since the anomalous properties of a Nexus generally cannot extend beyond its borders. Additionally, the Foundation has accepted the existence of a number of Free Ports, paranormal enclaves accessible only through anomalous means, within which the concealment and containment of anomalies is unnecessary. These communities are usually self-managed, with observation from the Foundation and local governments to ensure that anomalous phenomena remain within the Free Port. A number of additional Locations of Interest are known to the Foundation at this time, ranging in scale from small towns to entire countries, and the category even includes several alternate realties accessible from our own.

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 Brother's Grimm version of Sleeping Beauty, Little Briar Rose.
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 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 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 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 philosopher and computer scientist, 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: Crossroads
Description: A vast extradimensional library, allegedly containing all knowledge ever written down, as well as many books that cannot be found anywhere else. Although the Foundation has been aware of the Library since 1955, it has existed for much longer than that. The Library connects to multiple universes, and serves as the base of operations for GoI-014 ("Serpent's Hand"), but various inhuman entities known as Librarians are the ones that actually maintain and protect the Nexus. 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.

Nx-02: Annwn (Formerly Avalon)
Area Class: Camelot
Accessible From: Irish Sea
Containment Facility: Site-12
Description: An island located in an extradimensional space accessible only to those subject to oneirological triggers, Nx-02 is populated by an unknown number of spectral entities. Currently, due to growing animosity between the Foundation and the ruler of Nexus, the Foundation's access to the space has been revoked. Initially believed to have been created and governed by the Fae, recent evidence suggests the Nexus was actually part of a large techno-magocracy, tribal human government, known as the Mabyn. At some point, during the Roman invasion of Britain, the Mabyn government collapsed for an unknown reason. During this collapse, Nx-02's control was taken by the Fae and removed from baseline reality.

Nx-03: The Kingdom of Hy-Brasil
Area Class: Free Port Camelot
Location: 100 km west of Ireland
Surveillance Facility: Site-03
Description: One of the Five Fae Kingdoms. A magical island and nation-state in the Atlantic Ocean, accessible through non-anomalous means only one day every seven years. The Nexus is governed by the Tuatha Dé Danann (Homo sapiens tumuli), an anomalous hominid subspecies native to the island, and acted as a neutral ground for many GoI to operate in, including the Foundation. Devastated following the arrival of LTE-0851-Cetus, in the year 1988. The Nexus remains, significantly diminished in power, strength, and population, although there are plans for its reconstruction.

Nx-04: Murky Lake
Area Class: Shangri-La
Containment Facility: Site-107
Location: New Mexico, USA
Description: Murky Lake is a town that has been abandoned since 1936, before which it was notable for an unusually high rate of disappearances and other anomalous events. In addition to lacking a human population at present, wildlife, chlorophyl, music and many parts of the buildings are absent. A number of intangible humanoid figures have been sighted within the Nexus, but all attempts at communication have failed.

Nx-07: Gwag Hen y Cwn
Area Class: Asphodel
Location: Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom
Description: A small town located on an island off the southern coast of Wales. Most of its inhabitants suffer from therianthropy, or the ability to metamorphose (shapeshift) into other animals.
Associated Articles:
Nx-CN-08: Danxia Wanling Dongtian
Area Class: Shangri-La Briar
Location: Magu Mountain, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi, China
Description: A non-euclidean space with antimemetic properties, accessible only by performing a series of Taoist rituals. The Nexus itself is a small valley that used to serve as the base of a once prosperous Taoist sect known as the Beidi, who built numerous structures within the Nexus in an ancient Chinese architectural style. Notably, the sky above the Nexus is filled with glowing cinnabar-colored clouds, and multiple exinct or anomalous altered wildlife have been observed inside. Nx-CN-08 is currently occupied by members of the Global Occult Coalition, preventing further exploration by the Foundation.
Associated Articles:
Nx-12: Kingdom of Univers'Isle
Area Class: Dunwich
Accessible from: Savoy, France (formerly)
Description: A floating island in an extradimensional reality that otherwise consists of a completely empty sky. The kingdom was founded in the early 18th Century by the inhabitants of Saint-Guérin in Savoy, France, who travelled through cracks in the sky to colonise the landmass. The intervention of the Catholic Church stranded them there, causing the isolated society to develop their own identity as "Isleans". Their paratechnology eventually enabled them create interdimensional portals, resuming contact with the baseline universe, although there is tension between factions that wish for peace, and others that believe that the "Worldians" should be conquered. The Foundation is collaborating with peace-seeking Unislist factions to prevent conflict and ensure the existence of The Kingdom of Univers'Isle remains concealed.

Nx-14: Hoiohiña
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Underneath the Guiana Shield, South America.
Containment Facility: Site-14
Description: Subterranean ecosystem located at least 40 km beneath South America, inhabited by large intelligent rodents of the Rattus abissos species. These rodents rely on their skill at biothaumaturgy and paraminerology for survival. Site-14 maintains a diplomatic relationship with these non-human inhabitants of the Nexus, prevents exploration by other groups, and cooperates to contain entities found deeper within the Abyss. Due to its depth, no further containment is required.

Nx-17: Boring
Area Class: Briar
Location: Oregon, USA
Containment Facility: Site-64
Description: Located southeast of Portland, Oregon, Boring's main anomaly is the increased occurrence of almost all known varieties of anomalous fauna. Additionally, Boring is headquarters to Wilson's Wildlife Solutions (WWS), an organisation concentrated on the discovery and preservation of anomalous flora and fauna. Following the establishment of the Boring Agreement, the Foundation — via Site-64 — and WWS have agreed to support each other and not to interfere in each other's operations, with WWS handling containment of most of the anomalous animals in Boring.

Nx-18: Sloth's Pit
Area Class: Shangri-La
Location: Wisconsin, USA
Containment Facility: Site-87
Description: Named after the town's founder, Jackson Sloth, Sloth's Pit is a Nexus driven by its own narrative force. Many anomalies are associated with the town, with some still unaccounted for. Known anomalies include gravity reversal in Main Street every Tuesday at 12:00 PM., a colony of sentient, talking praying mantises, and individuals meeting misfortune upon saying the phrase "What could possibly go wrong?" or variants of it. Many Unclassed Anomalous Entities (UAEs) have emerged from the narrative force of Sloth's Pit, including The Goatman, Sinning Jessie, and the Hook Handed Man. Despite its often goofy and friendly appearance, Sloth's Pit has also been host to multiple terrifying incidents and has its own dark history.

Nx-25: Olive Hill
Area Class: Camelot
Location: Kentucky, USA
Containment Facility: Site-10
Description: Outside the Veil, Olive Hill is well-known for the Tygarts State Forest; a popular attraction for tourists. But come the later hours of midnight, strange events happen, such as young children going missing and strange noises emanating from the forest itself. Rumors of a witch inhabiting the forest also plague the city's populace as they mourn over their lost children. The forest itself has been avoided by civilians and Foundation personnel alike, as many have entered to explore and investigate the missing children but have yet to return.

Nx-28: Broken Hill
Area Class: Briar
Location: Western Australia, Australia
Containment Facility: Outpost-86
Description: A former mining town in Western Australia, currently populated by a number of ghosts. These ghosts are attempting to expand the tunnel network in the search for more gold, causing a network of mines that does not conform to standard topological models.
Associated Articles:
Nx-32: Negaseattle
Area Class: Asphodel
Location: Washington, USA
Containment Facility: Outpost-32
Description: A small area of the Cascade Mountain range with a significantly high volume of illusory flora and fauna. Although mostly harmless when left alone, direct interaction with the anomalous plants and animals of the area can yield unpredictable and sometimes dangerous results, as things are often not what they appear to be. The town of Negaseattle is a Foundation retirement village, populated entirely by Foundation employees and former employees and hidden from civilians. It's also the home of the SCP-5132 Project.

Nx-33: Drake
Area Class: Camelot
Location: Inverness-shire, Scotland, United Kingdom
Containment Facility: Site-127
Description: This Nexus is inhabited by Humanoid Anomalous Constructs (HACs), who have been integrated into everyday life in the Nexus. An abundance of SCP-936 are also located around the town, and may actually be posing as members of the community.
Associated Articles:
Nx-36: Atlantic City
Area Class: Briar
Location: New Jersey, USA
Containment Facility: Site-333
Description: Designated as a Nexus after the New Jersey Rapture, in which 25 kind-hearted individuals inexplicably demanifested. Since this event, the city has gained an abnormal increase in "unfortunate" events, its background Akiva radiation has dropped down to 0 and its residents have been experiencing a constant feeling of despair, hopelessness and distrust on others, as well as general apathy towards the human condition. Notably, these emotions are temporarily diminished when inside the city's various casinos, although whether this is an anomalous phenomenon or a natural reaction is a matter of debate.

Nx-37: Daleport
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: New England, USA
Containment Facility: Area-37
Description: Daleport is the only Nexus without a mortal population following an incident in 1997, where a cult in the town attempted to summon multiple omnipotent entities in order to 'cleanse' the town. The ritual failed, and the entire town's population was wiped out. Today, the Nexus is a hotbed of anomalous activity, including the apparition of disembodied limbs and voices belonging to the slaughtered townsfolk.

Nx-43: Verstecktedorf
Area Class: Camelot
Location: Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Containment Facility: Site-99
Description: Verstecktedorf is a small town in Germany which experiences anomalous activities related to the fairy tales of the Grimm Brothers. This Nexus also hosts the Black Forest, a notable location from the Grimm Brothers' tales. Some stories from the town had managed to circulate the Internet through sites such as Parawatch, but are often dismissed as urban legends.
Associated Articles:
Nx-51: Eventide
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Oregon, USA
Containment Facility: Site-51
Description: Eventide is a city in Oregon that never sees the Sun due to an unknown impermeable object blocking the sky. The almost continuous downpour of rain, along with the lack of sunlight and anomalous nature, has accelerated the growth of anomalous fungi, which are used to create anomalous drugs to supply Eventide's black market. Due to the control exerted by the Bavarian Illuminati1 upon the city, the Foundation must operate as a black-ops unit to gain control of the city.
Associated Articles:
Nx-52: Harkness
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Maryland, USA
Containment Facility: Site-52
Description: Harkness, Maryland is the single most concentrated population with anomalous diseases. The equivalent of an anomalous leper community, following the intentional infection of the town's water supply by an unknown group in the 1980s, the entire population is immune to non-anomalous disease, but afflicted with at least one anomalous disease. The Nexus is also covered in a dense, green miasma, which does not dissipate or affect the population of Harkness. Harkness Nexus is used as a vaccine procurement and testing facility, due to the rare specimens present within the Nexus.

Nx-56: Summerstone
Area Class: Camelot
Location: Wales, United Kingdom
Containment Facility: Site-17
Description: Nx-56 was Summerstone, a Welsh logging town surrounding a temperate rainforest. Originally the host of a semi-stable SCP-4886-A ecosystem, the events of Incident 4886-AO forced the Foundation to reassess the extent of Nx-56's anomalous properties. Reevaluation of Nx-56's Nexus status is also being considered.

Nx-78: Markhaven
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Indiana, USA
Containment Facility: Site-42
Description: A gated community, built in the style of 1950s American suburbia and isolated from the outside world by an anomalous fence. The town is run by a socially conservative authoritarian government, utilising indoctrination, propaganda and chemical compounds to maintain control of the population. Deliveries have been made to the town by GoI-627 ("The Factory"), and funding appears to have originally come from the PENTAGRAM, the occult branch of the United States Department of Defense.

Nx-79: Gmina Cyców
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Lublin Voivodeship, Poland
Containment Facility: Site-PL-79
Description: The entire area of the Cyców commune in Poland is classified as a Nexus. As the area where the barrier separating our reality from the demonic reality layer is at its thinnest, demonic anomalies are extremely common in this region. Due to this, the Foundation has isolated the commune from the rest of civilization and established its own Site within. The headquarters of GoI-PL-079 ("Hunter Industries") are also located within this nexus.

Surveillance Facility: Site-15
Description: A digital city located in the Maxwellist network. Believers of WAN connect their consciousness to the network through cybernetic implants, and interact with the city through digital avatars. Despite its simulated nature, Cipher functions in many ways like an ordinary city, with buildings, stores, and its own currency. To manage the city and raise funds for the church a council composed of six individuals known as the Hexagon control the city, conducting their will through a special task force known as The Compilation Layer. While officially only Maxwellists are allowed to access the network, it is possible for AIs and humans alike to infiltrate the city through 'backdoors'.

Nx-94: Lake Huron
Area Class: Briar
Location: Ontario, Canada
Containment Facility: Site-43
Description: Nx-94 designates not a single contiguous area, but instead a series of First Nations reserves along the coast of Lake Huron where culturally-specific anomalous occurrences are common. As these occurrences typically only involve members of the related cultures, and as local populations are low, only nominal monitoring activities organized at Site-43 have been necessary thus far. Indigenous peoples carrying out their traditional rituals have successfully propitiated nearly all mythological beings within the Nexus, making their actual containment a non-issue.

Nx-173: Sculpture Island
Area Class: Dunwich
Location: Dr. Moto's office, Site-19
Containment Facility: Site-19
Description: Nx-173 is a small island accessible via a wooden door in Dr. Moto's office, Site-19. The door appeared somewhere in 1993 along with the disappearance of Dr. Moto. Origin and where the island is situated are unknown, but exploration of the region strongly suggests that it is located somewhere on Earth. Flora is non-anomalous, but the fauna of Nx-173 is extremely hostile.
Associated Articles:
Nx-572: Puerto Extraño
Area Class: Shangri-La
Location: Southern Argentina
Containment Facility: Site-572
Description: One of the few Nexuses of extraterrestrial origin, Puerto Extraño was created when an exploration group sent by Argentina's Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation discovered an alien terraformer in the Antarctic and brought it back to their country. The colonists themselves were physically altered by exposure to the device, and its activation created an alien atmosphere, with organisms in it being physically altered to adapt them to the light of a grey sun. Additionally, a neural network formed, allowing the sharing of emotions within the confines of the Nexus. This resulted in the voluntary self-isolation of its inhabitants.

Nx-933: The Piss World
Area Class: Crossroads
Containment Facility: Outpost-933
Description: Recognized as one of the more peculiar alternate universes to directly contact baseline reality, the Piss World2 refers to an anomalous planetary body and biosphere which heavily incorporate a potent substance that, for all intents and purposes, is identical to human urine. Residing here is Species of Interest-9155 ("Bacteranoids") — gelatinous, metamorphic organisms responsible for creating entire civilizations, economies and cultures all revolving around the liquid that forms their landscape. A former utopia, Nx-933 and its society is suffering from an ecological catastrophe caused by the gradual, inexplicable disappearance of its main fluid, forcing the species' most brilliant minds to search outside the bounds of their universe in hopes of discovering an alternate source of the only liquid that can save them from an impeding apocalypse.

List of Free Ports
FP-01: Three Portlands
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Portland, Washington, USA; Portland, Maine, USA; Isle of Portland, Dorset, England, United Kingdom
Surveillance Facility: Site-64
Description: A city-state located in its own pocket universe, with connections to the Isle of Portland in the United Kingdom and the cities of Portland in Oregon and Maine, Three Portlands is the largest free port in North America. A haven for anartists, occultists, and parahumans, it has a population of at least 80,000. Foundation operations within the city are prevented or seriously limited by the Hoover Mandate of the United States government. Under the terms of this policy, the United States guarantees the city's independence and status as a Free Port, while assuming responsibility for its security and secrecy; execution of these duties falls to the Unusual Incidents Unit, which shares law enforcement jurisdiction with the local police.
Associated Articles:
FP-02: Backdoor SoHo
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Manhattan, New York, USA
Surveillance Facility: Site-28
Description: Backdoor SoHo is a Free Port dedicated mostly to the artistic display of the anomalous, similar to Manhattan's SoHo, with the primary entrance located off of Houston Street. Backdoor SoHo hosts numerous studios and galleries, as well as Groups of Interest such as Ambrose Restaurants. Access is controlled by the Doorman Charlie, and the area is policed to some extent by the FBI's Unusual Incident's Unit. However, the Free Port remains a hotbed of paracriminal activity, ranging from black market transactions brokered by Marshal, Carter and Dark, to illegal medical clinics operated by the sarkic Weilstedt.
Associated Articles:
FP-03: Eurtec
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Multiple European Cities
Description: Also known as The EURopean Technological Esoteric Capital. Eurtec is the prime technological metropolis in the west, and is one of the Global Occult Coalition's most ambitious projects. It was founded by the Servants of the Silicon Nornir3 in order to speed up the development of paratechnology for the purposes of their own agenda. While relatively young, it has nonetheless established a presence in the anomalous world as an important global city and the primary European Free Port. However, beneath Eurtec's advanced technology and shining skyscrapers is a lower city infamous for crime and violence, earning it the nickname of the "Blood District".

FP-14: Xin Kowloon (新九龍)
Area Class: Free Port
Accessible From: Hong Kong, China
Description: The Kowloon Walled City was an ungoverned enclave in Hong Kong that fell to the triads and crime, becoming a behemoth place. Prior to its recovery by the Foundation, SCP-184 was utilised by an unknown party to significantly expand the internal space of buildings within the city. Although these regions were thought to have been destroyed by the demolition of the city in 1994, it appears that significant portions of it survived within a pocket dimension. Eventually, Kowloon fell, but not before the many crime syndicates within its walls decided to keep the place. The extradimensional space, a labyrinth of interconnected rooms, corrridors and stairwells, has reportedly been divided into 12 districts, each controlled by a crime syndicate. The Foundation and Global Occult Coalition are currently working on finding a way into the paranormal enclave, although all attempts so far have failed.

The Kingdom of Alagadda
Accessible From: London, England, United Kingdom
Description: Although an entrance located in the Tower of London is contained as part of SCP-2264, the extradimensional city-state of Alagadda is not controlled by the Foundation, but is instead ruled by a powerful reality-bending entity known as the Hanged King. Within the city itself, architecture is non-euclidean, the direction of gravity is variable, and the only colors that occur are black, white, yellow, and red. It also functions as one of the multiversal nexus, works as an interdimensional nexus were people on the low to the high dimensions can interact. Expeditions into Alagadda have also reported the replacement of all clothing with costumes appropriate for a masquerade ball, the inability to bring back any objects, and difficulty in estimating the passage of time. Further exploration has been put on hold, following opposition from the city's ruler.

Adytum
Location: Northern Urals, Western Siberia, Russia (Formerly)
Description: Adytum5 was the capital of the ancient Kalmaktama Empire, and is believed to have been located in Western Siberia, now part of Russia. The empire was established in 1,800 BCE by a successful rebellion against the Daevite civilization lead by a man known as Grand Karcist Ion. For the next 800 years the city flourished as the center of a new civilisation, with grand structures built from organic material through the practice of carnomancy. However, after an ancient Occult War between the Kalmaktama Empire and various Mediterranean states, incuding the Mekhanites, Adytum disappeared from the baseline reality along with Grand Karcist Ion, resulting in the collapse of the Kalmaktama civilization and the dispersal of a Sarkic diaspora throughout the world.
The current location and status of Adytum are unclear. Minimal archeological evidence for its existence has been found, although given the organic nature of Sarkic structures and tools, this is not unexpected. Various Sarkic sects believe that Adytum still exists somewhere in the void outside the universe, and some accounts suggest it may still be accessible. Multiple Proto-Sarkic sources claim that the city was deliberately removed from baseline reality, although it is unclear if this was intended to protect the city from invaders, or to prevent something within the city from entering into our reality. Several in order Neo-Sarkic sects are actively working toward the rediscovery and return of Adytum, an event that would represent a severe disruption to normalcy, and is to be prevented at all costs.

Chugwater
Location: Wyoming, USA
Surveillance Facility: Site-78
Description: A rural town with an area of only 3.06 square miles, with an estimated population of 300. Foundation interest in Chugwater began when it was discovered that its residents were more likely to accept anomalous activity as a part of baseline normalcy compared to average, leading its local site to adopt a more lenient strategy of containment around Chugwater's many anomalous happenings.
The cause of Chugwater's apparent draw for anomalous entities, features, and parafauna has yet to be determined, and its status as a Nexus is currently pending.

Confederate Island Countries of Phantom
Accessible From: Earth, other dimensions
Description: The Confederate Island Countries of Phantom (CICP) is a federated nation of islands that exist in a different world. The member islands existed in our world until around the 14th to the 16th century, but relocated through anomalous means to another world, in part to avoid investigation and colonization by the great powers of the time. This resulted in the disappearance of a number of so-called "phantom island", previously documented on nautical charts but unable to be relocated by later expeditions. In the world of the CICP, there are a group of unusual items called "relics", and especially powerful items are called with the initials of T or 丁 and are used for the defense of the member islands. The movement of the member islands out of this world was also made possible by relics, said to have been given by a paranormal civilization known as Thule. Thule is said to have disappeared after the formation of the CICP, and no details of it are known to the inhabitants of the member islands. Travel between our reality and the world of the CICP remains possible, and has been the source of a number of anomalies, some of them dangerous and destructive.

Hydra's Spine
Accessible from: [REDACTED]
Description: SCP-2344, also known as "The Hydra’s Spine," is an expansive extradimensional network of underground tunnels, connecting together doorways leading to other planets and realities. The majority of these tunnels are of uniform appearance, passing through smooth dirt, although other appearances have been observed. Entry through a doorway connected to the network can be facilitated by physical contact with at least 7 grams of biological material from a member of the genus Gallus (Chicken), or local equivalent. Exploration is ongoing, including the establishment of outposts for resupply and diplomatic relations, but is complicated by the fact that many doorways connect to the Wanderer's Library.

SCP-6125 (Second Hytoth)
Accessible From: Milneland, Greenland, Earth, Baseline, Multiverse
Description: Also known as Universe o Multiverse. SCP-6125 is the structure of our current reality, known as a "Hytoth." SCP-6125 is composed of several distinct layers of reality, tentatively designated as "Realms," these realms all have distinct characteristics and baseline rules. Some Realms can contain subdomains, parts of reality that have been cut off from the rest of the Realm and require specific routes to access, unlike separate Realms, these subdomains inherit traits of their associated Realm; a notable example is the pocket universe containing the city of Three Portlands. SCP-6125 refers to the structure of the universe. There are currently 4 layers: λH (Hyrial), (which contains Alagadda and the Forest of the Nameless), Dreas (Dream World) (The human subconscious, home to the Oneiroi Collective), Base Reality (Base Realm), (where are they located Free Ports (Nexus) and The Wanderers' Library), and Adlivun (which contains Corbenic and other afterlives). It was later discovered that there are 3 additional layers only accessible from a series of metal obelisks in Milneland, Greenland. They are known as the Great Wastes (a desert inhabited by Pattern Screamers Subdomains Unknown), Tumulus (which contains SCP-5005 Subdomains Unknown), and Icarusium (which no taskforces have returned from Subdomains Unknown). All of these dimensions were able to be accessed through Ways (SCP-6125- α) connected to seven pillars (SCP-6125- Ω) located below the island of Milneland, Greenland.

Tōno Yōkai Sanctuary
Accessible From: Iwate Prefecture, Japan
Description: An extradimensional space and Paranormal Free Port accessible from the Kitakami Mountains on the outskirts of Tōno City, inhabited by anomalous entities commonly referred to as "Yōkai", in addition to a small number of humans and people of mixed-blood. The area is known as Samuto-gou, and has been inhabited since ancient times by beings believed to be divine by their worshippers. The land is surrounded by freshwater, with a central mountain known as Mt. Kakura. It is mostly rural, although there is some modern technology imported by residents, including devices powered by anomalous means. The largest settlement is Samuto, located in the east and consisting of the more urbanised Kami-Samuto district and the more rural Shimo-Samuto. The mountainous northern region of On-ga-dake has unpredictable anomalous weather patterns, while the southwestern area connects with a metaphysical region called "Ihatov", an area so unstable that even local residents cannot forecast its phenomena.

Undervegas
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; The Fourth Circle of Hell
Containment Facility: Site-666
Description: SCP-4661 is a region of space in which the city of Las Vegas overlaps with the Fourth Circle of Hell, the domain of greed and the biggest demonic Nexus, in the western hemisphere, also a demon enclave. 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.

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.

Violet
Accessible From: Earth, other dimensions
Description: The Violet is one of six large extradimensional clusters, first confirmed in 2020 ,where organisms similar to Earth's crustaceans, annelids, and nematodes live. The extradimensional clusters, the precursor of The Violet, tend to attract other dimensions with similar laws of physics, lifeforms, and other traits. While an extradimensional cluster was pulling the baseline towards itself, The Violet was separated from the cluster and was shattered. Being fragmented into a few thousand shards, The Violet started to merge with the baseline, costing the Foundation many resources. The Violet has no current line of command or social structure but attempts to invade our baseline by sheer population and replace their dead dimension with ours. The Violet's only and fundamental purpose is their survival. Some pursue this goal by coexisting with baseline creatures, but others try to eliminate all local species and take their place. Their targets include the SCP Foundation. Hence, contact with The Violet organisms requires particular caution.
