Storybrooke

Storybrooke is a small town in Maine which is home to many fairytale characters. This is due to the Dark Curse that was enacted by the Evil Queen, Regina. The curse sent the characters to the town, replacing their memories with alternate ones. However, this curse was eventually broken by Emma Swan, returning everyone's fairytale selves.
