Places that are spoiled, useless, or both, yet paradoxically also places of extreme power. Susannah Dean describes them as resembling psychic trash middens - a kind of Waste Land. The Drawers exist in various locations and represent areas where the fabric of reality has been damaged or corrupted, leaving behind concentrations of dark energy. The term can apply to physical locations in Mid-World as well as to psychologically scarred places in our world.
