Cornwood

Cornwood
First appearance	Bender's Game

Cornwood is an alternative reality created by Bender's imagination combined with the effect of the combination of the dark matter crystals. It can be somewhat be considered a parallel universe. Due to the nature of Cornwood, it is unlikely that it will be revisited later.

Cornwood is foremost based on Tolkien's Middle-Earth. With several places, characters and races being indirect or direct references to places, characters and races in Tolkien's universe.
