The magical realm bordering the human kingdom in the 2014 film "Maleficent" is the Moors.
The Moors is a fantastical forest realm inhabited by fairies, pixies, and other supernatural beings. Maleficent lives there and serves as its powerful protector. The film presents the Moors as a vibrant, enchanted land separated politically and culturally from the neighboring human kingdom.
The conflict begins when King Henry attempts to conquer the Moors. Maleficent defends her homeland, but her betrayal by Stefan—who later becomes king—turns her from a benevolent guardian into a bitter ruler. Stefan's fear of the Moors and its inhabitants drives much of the story.
The Moors is sometimes confused with Maleficent's personal name or with the human kingdom's castle. It is the name of the realm itself, while Maleficent is its fairy protector and later ruler. By the film's ending, Aurora becomes connected to both kingdoms, helping restore peace between humans and magical beings.
