Darkrose AU - Pt 2 - The Shadow Realm & the Umbra Empire

[Image above depicting the old Umbra empire flag]

The shadow realm

The shadow realm is accessible by ice diving, the practice of going deep beneath the ice. Ice diving isn't the safest option, since when you break the barrier between the current realm and shadow realm you'll instantly be falling through the sky. The best or most efficient way to travel in the shadow realm is with alicorn magic or protective magic.

The shadow realm carries the blizzardous conditions of the Arctic permanently. Once every 5-7 years, a lunar eclipse prevents a blizzard for about 30 minutes during totality, before the snow begins to pick up again.

The constant blizzardous conditions sometimes create Snownadoes, snow-iccanes, and even snow lightning storms. it's quite bizarre for newcomers, but it makes conditions dangerous for pegasi to fly around in, and particularly heinous to earth ponies without the endurance to such conditions.

The shadow realm also has an extremely powerful magic presence, causing dark clouds and many cracks in the ice of the Arctic above, some say it influenced the size of Mount ever-hoof.

The Umbra Empire

Originally, the occupants of the shadow realm were horrifying abstract faces, originally just called the umbra. one day, one of these abstract figures trailed out of the shadow realm, and turned to stone in fear of the light. This abstract shape gained wings in their statue.

written in Umbrian history books alone, the story goes that a pure-hearted unicorn took the scared statue from its place in the cold Arctic, and took it back home with her. The statue couldn't hold its form, so the unicorn cast a strong spell to give this umbra a pegasus form. The two eventually fell in love, and by miracle, both had a queen umbra, which took the shape of a powerful alicorn.

The child was named Crimson, later to be known as Queen Crimson. Queen Crimson is known for giving the realm's citizens their shape and giving the realm such a strong magic presence that it changes the ponies who enter.

Queen Crimson grew tired of the crystal ponies living above them in the light, and when the crystal ponies did not let them share the light, not only was the crystal heart created, but a war sparked between the two species. The crystal ponies came out victorious, and sealed Queen Crimson away inside a red crystal, but not before she could plant the seeds for the Umbra's new leader, who would later be known as King Sombra.

DarkRose!Mlp Au Part 1 - The Umbra (Empire)

The Umbra empire, Also known as The shadow realm, is much different than told in stories of pony old, especially on how they are formed.

The image above describes the transformation from Pony (of any kind) -> Shadow Pony.

The Umbra Empire is located deep beneath the ice and water of the Crystal Empire. Once upon a time, the Umbra and Crystal empires stood on land in a constant war. Eventually, one of the princesses put a stop to the umbra by sealing them underground permanently with a red protection crystal, which made it hard to escape or leave the empire. without powerful magic.

The citizens of the Umbra empire have many of forms.

1- Solid

You are probably already familiar with a Shadow Ponies solid form, characterized by a strangely shaped form, and wavy hair (comparable to old alicorns, except in black).

Their solid forms (depending on if they are unicorns or not) also have the chance to change their sclera color to green when using magic. The eyes will also be made of purple smoke or steam, which is scentless.

2- Deconstructed

A deconstructed shadow pony will always be shown with their magic eyes. This form is caused by the extreme use of magic, the lack of magic, or general weakness.

The smoke cloud that forms from a shadow pony is warm, and normally reeks of smoke or fire. Very rarely it can smell like the ponies shampoo or insense.

(Note: species can also appear with a head in this form while recovering from magic loss or weakness. Example bellow)

3- Statue

Sometimes if a Shadow pony is feeling too hopeless or has too many negative emotions, they will flop to the ground and turn to stone. Since shadow ponies are immortal, they will simply get back up after a 'stone nap' (as named by other citizens). Some ponies who have given up will simply turn to red crystal, but such a thing is rare.

FUN FACT: The red gate crystal is actually the crystalized version of the Umbra's former queen

4- Metamorphosis

As seen above, most Umbra citizens are from many places across equestrian. Metamorphosis is caused by the lack of protection from the elements of the shadow realm. since it's so cold and blizzardous, and the magic in the realm is so strong, it causes a physical reaction.

The greying of the fur and mane

the dulling of attitude

the blocking of the cutie mark

the sudden growth of the horn (for unicorns) and fangs (normally painful, but due to greyscaling they cannot feel it)

Transformation of the mane from normal to alicorn like

5- Extras

Shadow ponies can hiss due to their fangs. they rarely do unless you touch them unprompted (Bumping into them, shoulder clipping, getting shoved into them, etc.)

Shadow ponies' cutie marks are overshadowed, which explains their attitudes being so dull

Shadow ponies do not have mind magic unless they are crowned royalty

Sombra's castle servants (in the shadow realm) work willingly because quote 'they have nothing better to do'.
