I'll begin later in the story: These kids find a magic portal to another world. Its a mythical world, with creatures like dragons and trolls, wizards, and other things. So the kids go through the portal and meet an old wizard who says he's been expecting them. After some explaining, the wizard mentors Aldwyn (One of the kids) in sword-fightning and other stuff. They need to get this magical book that if asked a question, always writes back truthfully. So they go to Clock Work City, hire a ship and go on their quest. This were I'm stuck. Their ship gets shot down and crashes on some weird unknown land. Later they do escape, but my question is does anyone have any ideas for some mythical land? It can be weird, dark, evil, or whatever, but any ideas for a land and whats in it? Thanks!

A land controlled by a weird cult with priests having magical powers. It has an underground resistance. The heroes might break some rule accidentally or just look suspicious. Or maybe they appear in a wrong place at a wrong time and learn some secret. They become involved in this struggle, one side is trying to help them, the other side - kill them.

A land inhabited by intelligent creatures who have never seen a human (dragons, centaurs, ents, golems, etc.) These creatures find kids amusing and keep them as pets. Kids must escape or convince the creatures to let them go.

A land cursed with a powerful and strange spell (like everyone who says "peanuts" starts speaking backwards). One of the kids becomes affected. They need to break the spell or find a loophole in it before they can continue.

A land inhabited by crazed, cannibal men. The men pretend at first to be normal but then at night they attack the travelers and eat them.

A land cursed with everlasting darkness. There is no night and there is no day. There is only darkness and the monsters within.
