Lore and Law of the Lands.
Let us start with the most confusing one: Forendale (from the EOD series).
Myth:
Forendale is one of many countries in Argensal, this dimension's equivalent to earth, Forendale and its surrounding countries are this universe's equivalents to the United Kingdom; "magic" flows through everyone in the universe and it is strongest in the trees and plants. The characters are basic fantasy characters, elves, warlocks, et cetera. Most of the mythical creatures are magical.
Lore: Forendale is just like our world, it being in our world, except for what is called "magic"; magic, in a real sense, is a bunch of superstitious beliefs (the Xerites are right in that, at least). England holds the highest population of "Forens" (people who think Earth is called Argensal, and Britain is Forendale), Ireland being the second highest (though, they call themselves "Harvens"), an evil king forced everyone to still believe this way; now the "wizards" and "witches" believe they have magic.
Law: It follows a medieval law, beheading, torturing whores, prisons that starve you, et cetera. It is a beautiful place nonetheless. The reason all of this bad things happen is because of the evil ruler known as The Dark King.
Universe lore: This "Dimension" is one of many dimensions in one huge universe. There are believed over 17 million universes discovered through the "Fourth Dimension".
*Reassurance*
It is now believed that this is all a myth and there is only one universe in this world.
Blank Screens (from TTotBS).
If you are wondering why I sent you a starter with no planning beforehand, read this: Blank Screens are improvisation plots usually set in London without the technological advantages that the late-middle 19th century has.
Lore: Technology was lost due to a "storm" and everyone lost power. People were angry and destroyed buildings and killed people.
Law: This is basically an easy concept of Law. It is the same as our current governing Law (In the 1860s anyway).
Original Universe (from every other book of A. Raad's).
Ironically, this is called the OU (Original Universe). Even though A. Raad made TKOD (in Forendale) first, and all of A. Raad's works are of the same universe besides TUotBS (The Universe of the Blank Screens).
Lore: This universe connects to the dimensions through the fourth dimension (well, thought to be). This universe is a "normal" universe, except for magic, there are Xerites. Xerites are followers of the factory-made ruler, Xerox Zaxnon. They have abilities of many animals that make them superior to normal humans. What we call mythical creatures are normal humans/animals Eg: a Basilisk (Serpente-Gallus) are made by the blood of a serpent and the undeveloped chicken. A centaur is a Homo-Equus, a Chimaera is a Leo Capra Draco, a Dragon is what modern people call a "Dinosaur" and they have a flammable belch and heat their body temperature, elves are German villagers, Fairies are Homo-papilio, Ghouls (or Ghúls) are deformed canables, Griffins are Leo-Auquila, a Hippcampas is a merequuas (see mermaid), Hippogriffs are similar to Griffins, Sea Serpents are largely grown Hydrophiinae, Imps are largly grotesque (more than usual) dwarfs, Kappas are Merequuases in Japan, Leprechaun are Red Caps (see Red Caps) who refused to kill and who use the gold stolen from the Red Caps to trick people, a Malaclaw is a male Homo-Leo, a manticlaw is a Homo-Leo-Scorpio, Merfolk (Sirénes, Selkies, merrows) are albino flat-faced dolphins, (compare to Forendale lore.)

That was an early interpretation of A. Raad's universes I split it up into the universes (including a universe that holds over 17 million universes), but, I think the original author of these works (whether it is A. Raad, or, someone else) meant it to be more simple than that.
Forendale is not another universe, but, a part of the SoEU. It is basically what they call Britain, Harvendale is Ireland, and, Hansen City is Paris. I hope I helped in some way, I recommended you read his books.
