Actually the are dozens of Lore inside the Otherlands. One Lore set is a Pelio-American/Mayan society that advanced so far as to outpace European encroachment, that is to say that the dominate power in the world is in fact a modern Mayaian empire. Another uses a modified OZ storyline where Scarecrow, Tin Man, And Lion are warlords and the Dorothy is a messiah like figure of myth (this lore then branching out to many other aspects of the areas) Otherland is a separate "internet" more like an "internet2" some inroads possible from the public but primarily a private venture, in fact, the purpose of the Otherland is to ***SPOILER*** let those in power download their minds into a world of their own creation. One person builds a kingdom of insects, another location is a "World house" where a library is like unto a country. Worlds imagined from OUR cultural experiences. So to say that Otherland has no lore is perhaps not accurate.
