The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

The Shadowfell, a bleak echo of the Prime Material Plane, is a realm of perpetual gloom and despair. This infinite plane, accessible through shadow crossings and magical means, mirrors the Material Plane's geography but twists it into a desolate landscape of black and white. Light sources are diminished, and magic related to light and fire is impeded, while shadow magic is enhanced. The terrain is magically morphic, constantly shifting and diverging from its Prime counterpart. Landmarks are recognizable but distorted, and frequent shadow quakes disrupt travel. Inhabitants include shades, shadar-kai, shadow creatures, and undead drawn to areas of negative energy. Mirages of familiar places and faces haunt travelers. Notable locations like Evernight and the Shadow Swamp offer both peril and dark opportunities. The Shadowfell is also home to the Domains of Dread, demiplanes imprisoning powerful evils. Notable deities like Shar and Mask maintain realms here.
