Shadow Realm Physical Location Theory

i'll be showing each variant simply to allow for interpretation, but i genuinely believe the last one i show is going to be the proven one.

[1. Recent Popular Theory]

i don't believe this is the most accurate understanding of the shadow realm, mostly because of the scale. many believe that the scarlet aeonia is where bayle's mountain once was, but i can't fathom why or how that would be the case when you consider the rest of the map and its elevation(s). it also doesnt seem to align the suppressing pillar with anything and charo's hidden grave doesn't appear to be hidden by any means in any manner. very little about this rendition seems to answer much, nor beg much question of anybody's understanding of the lore. it's an interesting layout to say the least, and would at least fill in the middle portion of the land

[2. First Personal Theory: Separate Lands]

no occupied land is taken up by another occupied land this way. The Suppressing Pillar is literally in the middle with this one, and Bayle's mountain serves as a landmark between the Bestial Sanctum and the Giants' Mountaintop. notably, this kinda "mirrors" a few landmarks of the map from base-game locations (for example, St. Trina's location would be approximately somewhere below the Divine Tower of Caelid, where we find the Godslayer Greatsword)

similarities between opposing parts of the map somewhat support the idea, but the theory is a bit loose and started falling apart in my head due to the position of the Erd/Scadutree being somewhat displaced between the realms, as well as some seemingly superficial placements like Rauh and the gravesite plain seem weirdly on their own (which frankly doesnt help the fact that they were both the hardest to figure out the lore of, personally)

one might argue that the displacement of the tree is similar to Ranni's spirit being partially outside of her vessel, but that could also be true of what i present to you now..

[3. Current Personal Theory: "Limgravesite" Theory]

i believe this is my final answer to where the realm of shadow is; it may be physically separate from the lands between but it was once part of it.. hell, the realm of shadow even snaps to my phone screen's center when placed and it lines the crucible up with the center cloud:

the Rauh civilization held the Knowledge of Stone, and held great control over the water. their proximity to liurnia is surely no accident. it is only separated from Liurnia by Belurat and its bastion, Stormveil. it is also clear on the map that there is a rift directly across where stormveil's bridge is. it is likely that- and with however marika's rite worked- with the disappearance of specific structures and areas like Belurat and the Rauh Ruins, Liurnia may have begun to flood due to a lack of redirection or lower areas for water to shed toward, like the abyssal woods.

this also answers for other geographical oddities like the Weeping Peninsula being made an actual peninsula in the case that both maps were fully combined. Charo's Hidden Grave would fill the gap, while explaining why the Peninsula may be "Weeping." the Cerulean Coast is literally a sea of blue flowers among a titanic burial ground, and we know that blue magic is heavily tied to water. red magical aspects like seen in Charo's Grave have been almost completely erased from the Lands Between, barring a single weapon from "Eochaid" and one single mysterious bearing hunter. this red magic is likely meant to be akin to copper and blood, which rely on using an internal force to exert a will upon something. blue magic is harnessed extrinsically; pulled from an outside source.

i could keep going about this but i think i need to stop typing for now. might add to this post later]]]

you should always be careful when you fall back asleep again after waking up because sometimes you will just have a pleasant little snooze but sometimes you'll get trapped in TIME PRISON. unfortunately there is no way to predict this.

Nothing to see here, just a horse in a living room watching some familiar characters on TV in Hiromu Arakawa's new manga Daemons of the Shadow Realm.

Edit: wow, this post got popular! I can tell you that the first two volumes of this is out in print in English from wherever you usually get your manga from, and that in this story there are many many funky CREATURES.
