History
The Magiclands
It was believed that from the Wildlands emerged the being known as Mister Mind whose life began as a simple bookworm. It was said that after suffering much abuse in the Wildlands as a child, Mind spent years attempting to break into the Library of Eternity. Once successful, Mind consumed countless spell books, absorbing the knowledge and power. He returned to the Wildlands, where he took revenge on those he felt had wronged him, and set his sights on the Council of Eternity. (Shazam! v3 #2)
After the defeat of Mister Mind, the Magiclands all called upon the aid of Shazam to save them from threats within their realms as he was the champion of magic. Black Adam had warned him against interfering in those lands as he stated that there were many dark threats hidden within them. However, Billy Batson refused and decided to heed the call in protecting the people of those realms. This included their first mission to the Wozenderlands to help Alice and Dorothy who were being menaced by the Tin People. Within the Darklands, the Shazam Family went to team up with the Ghost Patrol to defeat Dracula. The heroes then went to the Gamelands to aid the Gamemaster in rescuing the Atari Force. (Shazam! v3 #14)
Overview
The seven realms included:
- Darklands : a place where souls of the deceased go to rest. Since only the dead live here, they can choose to prey on anyone who comes from the land of the living; it's implied they can exchange death for life by taking someone else's. (Shazam! v3 #8)
