Realm of Shadow

The Realm of Shadow, often called the Land of Shadow, is the land Queen Marika hid away, the home of the Scadutree. It has been sealed off since long before the Shattering, so everything here feels a little out of step with the Lands Between you already know.

This is where Messmer the Impaler led Marika’s crusade against the Hornsent, and the scars of that war are everywhere: burnt villages, forts held by Black Knights and the towering Shadow Keep at the heart of the Scadu Altus. Miquella‘s followers also passed through on their way to Enir-Ilim, and you will run into many of them on the road.

Regions you will explore include the Gravesite Plain, the Scadu Altus, the Cerulean Coast, the Abyssal Woods and the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, along with catacombs, forges and the ancient Finger Ruins.
