Shadow realms: Shadow realms are pocket dimensions created through unknown ways. They are often born and died with the birth of a god but there are cases in which gods have created them or they have not died when their god dies. The shadow realm itself is a sentient being. It can communicate with other sentient being and can be injured and killed. Most gods and mortals cannot hear the shadow realm when it attempts to communicate with them. The god who was created with shares a special bond with it and can more easily hear it when it speaks to them, albeit a shadow realm will rarely speak to them except in times of great danger or need in which case the god is surely to listen. When a shadow realm is destroyed the god that it was connected to suffers very adverse consequences and vice versa. When a god dies but the shadow realm is still alive then the shadow realm becomes an abandoned shadow realm. When the shadow realm dies but the god is still alive then the god becomes so weak that he almost becomes a mortal.
The three types of shadow realms: Connectors, Godly, Abandoned
Connectors: These shadow realms are of unknown origins. They are created when a portal links two shadow realms together but no one knows how or why. These are shadow realms whose sole purpose is to connect the many shadow realms. They are the most dangerous of all shadow realms not for reasons one might expect. If one doesn’t know their way through shadow realms and can path through them they will get lost for all eternity in the infinite amount of shadow realms that exist. This is a fate that has fallen to many gods who dared to wander. It is common for connector shadow realms to connect to dozens if not more connector shadow realms. However it is very rare for a connector shadow realm to connect more than two non-connector shadow realms together. A connect normally displays properties from the shadowrealms that it connects. Though a connector is normally devoid of all life.
Abandoned: an abandoned shadow realm is a shadow realm that was a godly shadow realm in the past but its god has been unable to return to it for centuries if not millennia. This shadow realm still reflects the god that was created with it but has now devolved into complete anarchy. These shadow realms often find prey in wondering gods and will trap them in there and force the god to replace the god that was missing. Some will try and kill the god and consume his essence to recreate its dead god. There are many fates that await a god or mortal that wanders into an abandoned shadow realm. None are pleasant.
Godly: This is a shadow realm that was created with and is currently ruled by a god. These shadow realms often reflect the god that created them in every aspect. From the creatures that inhabit it to the very structure of the shadow realm itself. Godly shadow realms are reminiscent of abandoned shadow realms and that serves as a grim reminder to all gods that their shadow realm too could become abandoned. Unlike the abandoned shadow realms these are full of life.
