Shadowverse

The Shadowverse is an unnatural, cold, monochromatic realm filled with Umbra magic. It holds unique monsters called Void Terrors, such as Void Drakes. It is also rich in rare and valuable resources such as Shadowverse Salts, Raw Darkshard Ore, and Void Terror Claws.

Time moves faster in the Shadowverse. An hour in the Shadowverse may only be minutes in the real world. This enables Shadowmancers to seemingly teleport behind their enemies when they use the Shadowverse to travel. It is also useful as refrigeration or speeding up wait times for Alchemists or Chefs.

Only Shadowmancers are able to gain access to the Shadowverse (though they are capable of dragging someone else in with them, for good or bad.) It is also up to the Shadowmancer whether or not they bring the person back.
