The Shadowfell

"The Shadowfell stands apart from the other realms as a cold, empty place." - Scholar Al'Jibran on the Realm of the Dead.

At a Glance
The Realm of The Raven Queen, the Shadowfell was the proverbial underworld of the mortal plane. Creatures native to the realm included wights, and phantoms as well as the ghosts and Revenants of the Raven Queen.

With few notable landmarks, the Shadowfell's geography was littered with mausoleums and broken down cathedrals, some seemingly older than the world itself. Acessible through the castle of Halruth in The Near Reaches or visible through a relic known as the "Black Seer's Skull" the Shadowfell was an astral realm of bleakness and hollow winds.

A realm of the dead, the Shadowfell served as the prison to the captive deity Vecna, Lord of Undeath.
