Simply put, it is a place that induces immortality. It varies as to what kind of Immortality it provides. At most, it could give you either Complete or Resurrective Immortality. At the least, it stops the aging or prolong the lives of those affected. Among other things, it could be The Shangri-La, a Pocket Dimension, a Place Beyond Time, an unassuming grassland, or a Cyberspace but the common ground is that as long as you stay within its Area of Effect (and the effect itself stays in place), you will not have to worry too much about dying. Just a place full of Immortals does not qualify here; they have to be immortal because they stay there. This could potentially overlap with Sealed Evil in a Duel, if the inhabitants are not on good terms. If it only favors one side of a conflict, it also provides Home Field Advantage and if the favored side has a Domain Holder, they may be the real source of the immortality. If it's consciously not letting its occupants die, it's also a Genius Loci. If it's not letting them go even if they want to, it could lead to And I Must Scream. Leaving the place is also not an assurance of resumption of a mortal life as No Immortal Inertia may occur instead, but if they're lucky, its effects may take time to wane. A sub-trope of Immortality Inducer and Place of Power. Contrast with Soul Jar, which has to be well-hidden to continue benefiting from it and can work even when the beneficiary is far away, and Amulet of Dependency, if the Immortality Inducer has to stay on you. Compare with Geo Effects, which provide other varieties of boosts from being in a specific location, and Reinforce Field, which enhances objects' structural integrity. Also, see Human Popsicle and Sleeper Starship for anti-aging examples that require suspended animation or sleeping for a long time. While Resurrection is a feature of both Respawn Point and Immortality Field, the latter has it only as one of its possible functions. Revival of Player Characters is a common feature of Video Games so unless immortality is noted to be caused by the setting, it is not an example. |

Awful Hospital: The Hospital is a Magical Land that grew out of the concept of healing. People who die within the Hospital can be fixed up and restored to life by the doctors, no matter how badly their bodies were mangled, because the Hospital protects their concept cores. | |

Expelled from Paradise: DEVA is made to be a haven for humans following their digitization. Without the need for food, water, or sleep, or having sickness and death, humans have supposedly evolved to enjoy "higher entertainment".

In Wreck-It Ralph, as long as a video game character is in their own game, they will regenerate upon death. If they are in another game, they are dead permanently.

Immortal Iron Fist: The Eighth City is a brutally hellish realm that could only be reached through a dimensional gateway located in the remotest part of China. It used to be an empty place, until the elders of K'un-L'un turned it into a prison for many demons and monsters that plagued the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven. It's an absolutely dreadful place populated by all evils in the world, where none of its inhabitants are able to age, and they are eventually driven mad by their prolonged stay. | |

Dog Days has this as one of its primary plot points. Special areas exist on Flonyard where people who take damage instead suffer Clothing Damage or temporarily turn into super deformed animal-head things. With the risk of injury removed, war is instead waged for literal fun and profit (along with being useful live-fire exercises to prepare for the occasional demon attack). However, its defense is not absolute. The afformentioned demons can cause its power to temporarily wane, and people from Earth don't get any protection at all (though Cinque is tough enough that this doesn't really matter). | |

SCP Foundation has several none too pleasant examples. Any person placed inside SCP-762 enters a state of suspended animation and they would no longer need food, water, or even air and they are immune to disease and injury (when it was found, it contained someone who was probably stuck inside for centuries)... except those caused by its own spikes, because it's an Iron Maiden, in a subversion. As a torture device, its primary purpose is likely not to keep people alive but to prolong the victim's suffering. The person inside is conscious the whole time and the experience is described to be very painful. This is double subverted afterwards as even those wounds heal completely after the person is released. There's also SCP-135, a girl with an aura that makes her and any other organic matter within a 10 cm radius immortal, while causing rapid and uncontrolled cell growth — AKA cancer— within 2.25 meters. Having developed this aura in utero, she is stuck in a fetal position and permanently encrusted in a constantly growing mass of plants, fungi, and microorganisms. The most that can be done for her is to have robots cut off some of the excess matter when it gets too big. She has full brain activity. One of the proposals of SCP-001 is known as "God's Blind Spot", an area in the Middle East where there exists no "Akiva radiation", i.e., the permeance of the Judeo-Christian God Himself, the story being based on how in the Book of Exodus, God sought to kill Moses but somehow failed to, suggesting the area as the reason why. Without His oversight, nobody inside can age or die of natural causes, as well as some unnatural causes within reason. Unsurprisingly, it's proposed that the SCP Foundation's O5 Council decided to set up their headquarters there. |

Discworld: Death's domain is located outside of time, so things either don't age or do so only if he allows it. His adopted daughter Ysabella comes off as a Bratty Teenage Daughter at first before you learn she's been sixteen years old for more than thirty years. Alberto Malich once performed the Death-summoning Rite of Ashk-Ente in reverse, believing it would keep Death away from him. Instead, it summoned him to Death's domain, where he has lived as Death's manservant ever since without aging a day. But if he goes back to the world, he starts aging again (except on Hogswatchnight). |

World of Warcraft has the Emerald Dream, the ethereal Dream Land that all life of Azeroth is tied to. Time is meaningless inside the Dream. The Dragons of the Green Aspect, which spend most of their time in the Dream, are extremely long-lived. Ysera's consorts in particular almost never emerge and are effectively immortal, and so are other permanent denizens from other races. However, the spread of the Emerald Nightmare brought death and decay to the areas of the Dream it affected. | |

The titular location in Everhood is a space where you're immortal for as long as you live there. Mostly. The Everhood hosted countless people, but over billions upon billions of years of existence, the inhabitants grew bored and gave in to various vices to stave off nihilism. Everhood inhabitants can only die if they are killed, and they began picking each other off until only a couple dozen inhabitants remain, trying to go about their days by getting rid of the one person left with the power to kill them. | |

No one can age or die within the Land of Oz, thanks to it being a fairyland. However, "no one can die" doesn't mean "no one can be harmed". And I Must Scream scenarios from the series include: being dashed to pieces on sharp rocks, being trapped in a crevice beyond rescue, being chopped to pieces and living as a sentient head forgotten in someone's cabinet, being chopped to pieces and scattered at the bottom of a river. Though at least the last one was only a hypothetical that didn't get enacted. | |

The titular loop from Deathloop causes the day to reset at midnight every day, undoing everything that happened during it and bringing everyone who died back to life.

Warcraft: Warcraft III had a prison which caused this effect, used to hold Illidan Stormrage. It apparently causes a constant regeneration effect (probably similar to the druid spell Regrowth). This was to prevent him from killing himself since night elves couldn't normally die of old age. Although this was probably done out of love by Malfurion, it's unlikely Illidan saw it that way. Illidan does eventually get released and the night elves eventually lose their immortality as well since, surprise surprise, they weren't exactly responsible enough to handle it. In a downplayed example, the Shadow Hunter Hero Unit from Warcraft III has a skill called "Big Bad Voodoo" that turns ally units gathered in an Area of Effect around him invulnerable for a few seconds. The catch is that the Shadow Hunter himself isn't affected by it, making him their Achilles' Heel and it dispels upon his death. World of Warcraft has the Emerald Dream, the ethereal Dream Land that all life of Azeroth is tied to. Time is meaningless inside the Dream. The Dragons of the Green Aspect, which spend most of their time in the Dream, are extremely long-lived. Ysera's consorts in particular almost never emerge and are effectively immortal, and so are other permanent denizens from other races.

Warframe has Harrow and his ultimate ability Covenant. Casting Covenant gives Harrow and allies within a 50-meter radius total immortality, as well as immunity to Standard Status Effects. It lasts for a bare six seconds, but six seconds can be enough to rescue a downed ally or preserve a team that is on the verge of falling. As a bonus, you gain extra Critical Hit chance based on the amount of damage you negated during Covenant's active period. | |

The Digimon Adventure continuity established that Digimon that died in the DigiWorld would eventually resurrect in the "Village of Beginnings" as Digi-Eggs. If a Digimon dies in the real world, however, they stay dead, like Gotsumon, Pumpkinmon, and Wizardmon. Somehow, this is apparently inverted for Myotismon, who died in the real world and came back. Then died again, and came back again in the next series. In fact, he's only Killed Off for Real in the Digital World. By the time of Digimon Adventure tri., Leomon had returned after dying in the first series, only for him to die in the real world. However, the Reboot of the DigiWorld allowed permanently deceased Digimon to be reborn. | |

Marvel Universe: Immortal Iron Fist: The Eighth City is a brutally hellish realm that could only be reached through a dimensional gateway located in the remotest part of China. It used to be an empty place, until the elders of K'un-L'un turned it into a prison for many demons and monsters that plagued the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven. It's an absolutely dreadful place populated by all evils in the world, where none of its inhabitants are able to age, and they are eventually driven mad by their prolonged stay. The Thanos Imperative introduces an entire universe, appropriately called "Cancerverse", where death is meaningless and the universe is overflowing with life to the point of it becoming "full". It all began when somehow, somebody killed Death and allowed Life to grow unrestrained. The entire universe is under the influence of Elder Gods and, using the Fault that has opened up in the "main" universe 616, they are now intent on corrupting the rest of reality. |

In one Disney Ducks Comic Universe story, Scrooge and company go in search for the Fountain of Youth, finding it in the polar regions. The immortality it bestows unfortunately only works like this, and leaving will result in No Immortal Inertia, though it also keeps the land within the radius abundant, so it's not all that unpleasant. After a misunderstanding causing the denizens to think that Donald and co. stole food (actually Scrooge having suffered non-lethal Death by De-aging), which is a serious crime, they escape across the border. Donald and the boys are unaffected, since they had only been within the radius for a few days, while Scrooge is aged back to normal. The denizens, on the other hand, have to halt the pursuit or risk crumbling into dust. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Astral Plane is a timeless Void Between the Worlds where visitors stop aging and don't need food or water. However, sources differ as to whether the lost time catches up retroactively when people leave the Plane, so Dimensional Travelers should exercise caution. | |

Themyscira (or Paradise Island) keeps the Amazons immortal. Amazons lose their immortality when they leave for the "Patriarch's World" and, for a while, it was decreed by Aphrodite's Law that the Amazons would become mortal if a man sets foot on the island. Post-crisis Themyscira moved further and further away from this concept, at one point having weapons vanish on the island instead of their harmful effects and then losing even that. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "Battle Lines", the penal colony moon that is home to the Ennis and Nol-Ennis serves as this. The moon has some combination of satellites and microcellular technology that causes anyone killed to be resurrected shortly after. The two factions are at war and have been for hundreds of years, to the point that none of them can remember what the original fighting was about. Worse still, once killed on the moon, you cannot leave without dying instantly, which is why Kai Opaka ends up choosing to stay on the moon to try and broker peace, no matter how long it takes. | |

The Lazarus Pits, all metaphysically connected through Ley Lines, overlap with Fountain of Youth but zigzag in regard to being an Immortality Field. By bathing in a pit, an injured person can have their wounds healed, the old are made young, and the deceased can be brought back to life.note For maximum efficiency however, someone must be placed in the Lazarus Pit within a relatively short period of time following their death. Although older bodies may be resurrected, there is no guarantee that they will return in perfect condition. However, anyone who uses the pit and is not injured or dying will be killed. Also, each pit can only be used once, but its user will retain its effects even without staying in one and they're free to use another the next time they're in critical condition. In the Elseworld story Superman & Batman: Generations, Ra's al Ghul discovered a way to eliminate the maddening side effects and developed a way to create lasting immortality. He offered Batman a chance to join him, but when they both submerged themselves in the pit, Ra's died and Batman became partially immortal, aging one year for every century that passes. It's further revealed that that single Pit was permanently changed, conferring this immortality on anyone who bathes in it. | |

Defied in The Lord of the Rings. The Numenoreans were blessed to live up to more than 300 years yet they still envied the Elves. Sauron tricked the Numenorean King Ar-Pharazon into thinking that those who enter and rule the Undying Lands will gain immortality (they won't; its native inhabitants are immortal to begin with and it doesn't matter where they are), but doing so violates the Ban of the Valar's restriction against mortals. For this transgression, Eru Iluvatar sank Ar-Pharazon's invasion fleet and Numenor beneath the oceans, removed the Undying Lands from mortal reach, and changed the shape of the world from a disc into a globe. | |

Doctor Strange (2016): Dormammu's Dark Dimension is a Place Beyond Time. Therefore, he can promise eternal life, as time does not affect the residents. This bites him hard when Strange introduces a time loop into the Dark Dimension. Dormammu doesn't know how time magic works — he doesn't even know what time is — so he can't shift himself out of the loop like Kaecilius's zealots are able to do. His options are to either keep killing Strange, who may or may not be aware that he's being killed depending on how the time loop works, or accepting Strange's bargain. As repeatedly killing Strange would trap him in the same moment, the other choice wins out. | |

General Rilldo from Dragon Ball GT turned the surface of Planet M-2 and himself into a form of metal that he can solidify and liquefy, enabling him to fuse and diffuse with the environment at will. This also means that his consciousness can inhabit and form a body from any metal on the planet, effectively giving him unlimited repairs. Subverted because somehow, he was killed by only a combined Kamehameha from Goku, Pan, and Trunks, even though there's still metal all over the planet that he could have used. However, it might have something to do with being possessed by Baby and he just didn't bother to let the General revive. | |

The setting of the One Piece special Heart of Gold is the stomach of a lantern fish whose lamp glows with a material called Pure Gold which can stop aging. Since the glow radiates inside him, those still living within will never age past their current point if they stay in him. Two of the characters, Olga and Acier, are two such people. Though Olga can remain her age outside of him due to having some of the Pure Gold in a ring she wears. | |

The DCU: There is no death in Nanda Parbat. It is sometimes combined with its inhabitants experiencing time differently. The Phantom Zone (which lends its name to another trope) keeps its prisoners alive. Outside of its intended use of punishing criminals humanely, it has also been used to save dying heroes, like the lead-poisoned Mon-El pre-Crisis. Planets with yellow suns like Earth make Kryptonians, barring Kryptonite Factor, Nigh Invulnerable and Long-Lived. The inverse is in planets with red suns. Taken to extremes with DC One Million, where Superman stayed inside the Earth's sun for 15,000 years and emerged as a god-loke. Themyscira (or Paradise Island) keeps the Amazons immortal. Amazons lose their immortality when they leave for the "Patriarch's World" and, for a while, it was decreed by Aphrodite's Law that the Amazons would become mortal if a man sets foot on the island. Post-crisis Themyscira moved further and further away from this concept, at one point having weapons vanish on the island instead of their harmful effects and then losing even that. The DCU's version of the Gods of Mount Olympus need prayer badly to remain immortal, but if there aren't enough worshipers and The Fates are weakened or killed, then their only option is to remain on Mount Olympus; anywhere else, they will become mortal. The Lazarus Pits, all metaphysically connected through Ley Lines, overlap with Fountain of Youth but zigzag in regard to being an Immortality Field. By bathing in a pit, an injured person can have their wounds healed, the old are made young, and the deceased can be brought back to life.note For maximum efficiency however, someone must be placed in the Lazarus Pit within a relatively short period of time following their death.

Futurama: The second movie, "The Beast with a Billion Backs", almost ends with the entire universe, except the Robots, living in a Utopian setting on a galaxy-sized, tentacled alien named Yivo who loves everyone (romantically), renders them immortal, and looks like The Theme Park Version of Heaven. Then a jealous Bender and his robotic army invade "Heaven" and end up getting everyone exiled... except Colleen O'Hallahan. The four-dimensional Space Whale Mobius Dick has a "Mobius colon", in place of regular internal organs, which recycles time and space. Those who stay inside the colon don't age, but those who are absorbed into the whale's flesh, a la the Flying Dutchman's crew, stay alive but continue to age. |

The Bible's Garden of Eden is depicted as a place of everlasting joy without death and Adam and Eve's expulsion from it deprived them of those blessings. This is subverted in that it's falling out of God's favor, not the physical act of leaving the Garden, that made them lose their eternal life and experience physical death. | |

The world of Kid Radd works similarly to Wreck-It Ralph; stay in your own game and you're fine, leave the game and you'll die permanently. However, at the end, a loophole is found where if the "ghost" of a dead character travels back to a copy of their original game and said game is rebooted, the character will resurrect because the alive/dead variable is able to be reset. | |

By the end of Apeshit, it is revealed that the reason why none of the characters in the book end up dying despite the massive physical trauma their bodies endure is because of a supernatural force in the woods that prevents anybody there from dying. In the sequel Clusterfuck, it is revealed that this is because of a meteor that crashed into the valley millions of years ago, the strange mineral giving off an unusual radiation that leaves those who are near it immortal. Unfortunately, while it makes people immortal, it does not make them invulnerable, making them a Type 2 or 3 form of undead on the Sliding Scale of Undead Regeneration. | |

Discussed in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, when Alan Quatermain mentioned that "Africa wouldn't let him die." It was unclear whether it was literal or figurative and it didn't help that he died in Mongolia.

In Warhammer 40,000, it is inverted with the Warp, as daemons can be Killed Off for Real there. A daemon's physical form in realspace is only a "manifestation", but their true "presence" is in the warp and destroying it causes their true death. "Killing" them in realspace only banishes them back to the Warp unless it's through knowing their true names, a special ritual or relic, or overwhelming psychic might. | |

All your characters get an auto-revive during this battle, making losing the battle a Self-Imposed Challenge.

Delicious in Dungeon: The titular dungeon (and it's implied most other dungeons) has had a spell placed over it that enables anyone killed on its premises to be resurrected with regular healing magic. It's theorized that the spell "forbids death", preventing one's soul from leaving their body when they die, so that once their body is in shape to support life again, they immediately return to it. Some characters are in the dungeon to study and replicate the spell, which could theoretically grant immortality. However, it has its limits: the greater the damage to the body, the more powerful and skilled the healer has to be to successfully revive it. Losing as little as 1/13th of your mass, if it can't be put back together (such as being reduced to ash), dramatically reduces the chances of resurrection. As well, as the body decays, so does its bond to its soul; eventually the soul breaks loose and becomes a wandering spirit, usually searching for a new body to inhabit. | |

Night at the Museum: The museums/places where the Tablet of Akhmenrah is kept becomes this. The third movie revealed that it was intended to bring Ahkmenrah back to life each night to keep the royal family together, but its powers turned out to have an even greater scope, including animating inanimate objects. The previous museum guards in the first movie were also revitalized from years of exposure to its power. Though it only brings a single building's displays to life, they can roam anywhere as long as it's nighttime because it's the domain of Khonsu, the Egyptian moon god that gave the tablet its powers. Of course, their Logical Weakness is that they will turn to dust if they are outside during sunrise. | |

Atlantis: The Lost Empire: The lives of the citizens of Atlantis are prolonged by a piece of a comet which they call the "Heart of Atlantis". Kida herself is roughly 8,500 — 8,800 years old (according to Milo), but she physically appears to be in her mid-20s. | |

The Neath of Fallen London is shielded from the light of the sun, which enforces such laws as "people die when they are killed". Accordingly, those killed in the Neath can come back to life afterward, as long as their body isn't mangled too badly — but it won't stick if they leave. | |

The Bad Bad Place: Within the Castavette Estate, nobody can age or die, a benefit to anyone staying there with Lady Malise's blessing — and an eternal curse to those imprisoned there. Serena is shot in the chest during the finale, and doesn't even notice it until she steps off the front porch, forcing her back over the threshold in order to escape death. Originally born in the 19th century, Ned Trench spent most of the early 20th century as a guest of the Estate and only left in disgust following World War II, hence why he's aged into an old man. | |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Drinking from the Holy Grail extends the drinker's life... but it cannot be taken outside the Grail Temple's Great Seal because it will cause the place to collapse. To continue extending one's life, they must stay in the temple and repeatedly drink from the Grail like the Grail Knight, as supported by an excerpt from the Novelization.note Taken from this discussion. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Year of Hell", the temporal core of the Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship acts as one of these, as it protects the ship and its crew from normal space-time. They've been engaged in their mission for 200 years by the time of the episode, and their leader, Annorax, states that they can continue for all eternity if need be. Not all of them are happy about this prospect. | |

D.I.C.E. (2005) has D.I.C.E.'s Body of Elders looking for the gate of Another Dimension called "Heron Universe" to gain endless life and youth, but they died before they can reach it. When the F-99 team visited it, they discovered that the natives of Heron indeed have immortality and it was given to them by the Immortal Pharaoh (so no hope there for the people of the other universe). In a subversion, it's implied that they remain immortal even if they leave, as it turns out that one of their organization's benefactors named Smyl Iri was a Heronian all along. Like the Phantom Knight, he aims to end the immortality of Heronians because he believes it causes stagnancy. The Immortal Pharaoh was then revealed to be possessed by the Lumosword, a Living Weapon obsessed with life. When Jet killed the Lumosword, the real Immortal Pharaoh was freed and regular time and lifespan returned to the Heronians. | |

Inverted in Men in Black: The Series with the Earth for the Stellairians. The Earth's atmosphere can cause a Stellairian to age a hundred Earth years in a day if they don't use their age-regressing hypo-spray. | |

Downplayed for Jumanji in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Instead of colliding with the real world like in the first film, it remained as a separate world that follows Video Game logic. It gives the players three Video-Game Lives each as a form of limited Resurrective Immortality. However, in Jumanji where Everything Is Trying to Kill You and most of them were given Weaksauce Weaknesses, this seems like a fair trade-off. | |
