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.
