High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wainscot is a term used in fantasy fiction to describe societies that are concealed ('hidden in the wainscotting') and secretly working in the real world. It was first coined by The Encyclopedia of Fantasy in 1997.Such concealed societies typically have a special insight into the mechanics of the world, such as an understanding of magical forces or knowledge of supernatural beings. Wainscot societies may seek to hide this information from outsiders, or they may be disbelieved due to ignorance, conspiracies, or consensus reality.A significant feature of wainscot fiction is that it does not take place in fantasy realms only accessible via some kind of magical portal (e.g. Narnia). Wainscot stories involve hidden parts of the familiar, mundane world. In horror-tinged works of fantasy, such as H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos or the Buffyverse, the majority's ignorance of the true horrors of their world may seem like a blessing.
