Hyperion Heights (location)

Hyperion Heights, Washington is a Land Without Magic location featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time, first appearing in the Season 7 premiere episode of the same name.

Like Storybrooke, Hyperion Heights is home to fairy-tale characters sent to the Land Without Magic under a new Dark Curse. It is currently unknown how many Enchanted Forest characters inhabit the town, but Regina Mills, Killian Jones, and Rumplestiltskin are known to live there, albeit with new identities.

Hyperion Heights is different from Storybrooke in that Storybrooke was an independent town, whereas Hyperion Heights is a neighborhood of Seattle.

History
At some point after Henry Mills leaves Storybrooke to find his own story, Drizella Tremaine casts a new Dark Curse (the Fifth Curse), which in turn creates Hyperion Heights and sends various fairy tale characters to the Land Without Magic with altered memories and new identities. Drizella places a failsafe into the curse that would cause Roni's loved ones to be harmed if the Curse breaks.

During the Fifth Curse
Due to the effects of the curse, Drizella (known as Ivy Belfry in Hyperion Heights) works as a secretary for her mother, Victoria Belfry, an urban developer. Her step-sister Jacinda, is fighting with her mother over custody of Jacinda's daughter, Lucy.

New Character Identities
While several Storybrooke residents live in the town, they are cursed with new identities.
 * Regina Mills - The former mayor of Storybrooke and queen of the Enchanted Forest, is now a bar owner by the name of Roni.
 * Killian Jones - The Wish Realm counterpart of the pirate from Neverland is now a police officer named Rogers.
 * Rumplestiltskin - The Dark One is a police detective by the name Weaver. His partner is Rogers.
