Dark Realm

The Dark Realm is the domain of the avatar of darkness, Comes Caedo. It is inhabited by Tenebria, natural products of darkness, as well as the souls of the dead.

Appearances
The Dark Realm is a domain which exists during all events of the series, in part due to it being a crucial element of the cycle of reincarnation. This remains true even after Comes Caedo is replaced with the Reality Engine.

Shadow of Ares
The Dark Realm appears in Shadow of Ares with the siege on Comes Caedo's castle by Emidius Alvisio's acolytes.

Other Universes
Many universes hold close mythos depicting the Dark Realm as the place where the condemned go after death. In reality, an eighty-five percent majority of all souls travel through the Dark Realm before reincarnation, and there is little inherent difference between reincarnating through one or the other.

Structure
The Dark Realm is under the complete dominion of Comes Caedo. Its population, primarily composed of the dead from Reality, live in a single city clustered at the food of Comes Caedo's castle. Beyond the city's walls, demons prowl the sprawling desert, locked in a power struggle with one another. However, no matter how strong they may be, they answer to Caedo.

Features
The Dark Realm is divided into three sections: The wastelands where the demons live, competing endlessly with one another for power, the city of the dead, and Comes Caedo's castle. It is rare for any travel to occur between the three, though when it does it is often demons being called to Caedo's castle.
