Plus Realms lore!
Dark Realm:
The Dark Realm is split up into three regions. The hot region, the cold region, and the temperate region. The hot region mainly has deserts, savannas, and volcanic fields, valleys, and mountains. As the name suggests, it is incredibly hot. It smells of smoke and death constantly.
The cold region mainly has icy mountains, glaciers, tundras, and evergreen (or red) forests. It is incredibly cold, almost always far into the negatives. Most of the cold region smells of fresh snow and blood.
The temperate region has deciduous forests, meadows, hills, and large lakes. The temperatures vary depending on which part of the region it is, but they are not nearly as extreme as the other two regions. Most of the world is covered in deep oceans, with only two continents. Though, there are many islands and archipelagos
.The fauna in the Dark Realm is powerful and dangerous, adapted to survive in a world that seems to try to snuff life out completely.
Portal: black and red, spiraling.
Hysteria Realm:
The Hysteria Realm is a realm that does not appear to follow any normal logic. Almost everything is harsh, vivid shades of pink and red. The realm is filled with incredibly unstable magic.The flora of the Hysteria Realm usually grows twisted and gnarled looking. Most of the time, stems and trunks have harsh, sharp corners and twists in their shape.
The fauna is odd, not appearing to follow ordinary laws of biology. Though, despite their strange appearances, and even stranger abilities, the majority of the creatures appear harmless.The realm has been known to drive those who stay too long to insanity.
Portal: vivid magenta and red, spiraling with spots.
Blood Realm:
The Blood Realm is a realm that consists mostly of oceans. It has small patches of land. Almost everything is shades of red. Of course, the water in the realm is not actually made of blood, but with its thick consistency and deep red color, it certainly looks like it.
Very few creatures live in the Blood Realm. The few that do are giant, terrifying, powerful beasts lurking deep below the ocean's surface. They often have peculiar features, such as exoskeletons that look like actual bones, transparent skin, or bioluminescent eyes.
The few types of flora are also deep shades of red, most being unpleasant, dangerous, or outright deadly to consume.
Portal: dark red and blood red, spiraling.
Midnight Realm:
The Midnight Realm is a place of eternal dark. There are two moons, one visible during the ‘day’, and the other during the night. The ‘day’ moon has a brighter shine than the night one. It has an odd gold tint to it.
The flora is shades of deep purples and blues instead of green.
There are not many creatures in the Midnight Realm, but the few that do live there are swift, quiet, and deady.
Most of the Midnight Realm is made up of thick, dark forests, usually evergreen forests. It is incredibly easy to get lost amongst the trees.
Portal: dark purple and blue spiraling, with white speckles.
Inferno Realm:
The Inferno Realm is a realm of complex, giant, fiery cave systems and caverns with lava lakes and steep cliffs.
The little flora within the realm is usually shades of red, gold, and orange.
The fauna is usually very large and strong, adapted to survive the harsh conditions of the Inferno Realm.
There is almost no water in the Inferno Realm, aside from boiling hot springs and dangerous geysers.
The fauna does not need water to survive.
Portal: bright, fiery red and orange, mixing together.
Abyss Realm:
The Abyss Realm is a realm of floating islands in a seemingly endless black void. It is split into two levels. Above the Void, and below it. It is incredibly difficult to get to the lower islands, due to them being below a layer of Void with crushing pressure and toxic air.
The upper islands have flora in shades of desaturated blues and purples. It is quiet and mostly peaceful. It has mostly small, peaceful fauna. The lower islands’ flora is deeper and more vivid in color. The fauna is far bigger and more dangerous, often with sharper teeth and spikes along their spines. The fauna is adapted to survive the harsher, colder climate of the lower islands, so they are oftem very hostile and dangerous.
Portal: black with purple flecks.
