Shadowfell

As much as the Elder World exists, so too does the After World; like the Feywild, it is a place best avoided by mortals. The After World does not abide the living, which is why only the dead find peace there. Stories tell of a City of the Dead in the Shadowfell, ruled by a horrific figure called the Ghoul King, and of pale-faced, black-clad horsemen who venture from the city into the land of the living, emerging through shadow crossings to harvest souls on moonlit nights.

Knights who belong to the Order of the Grave are thought to reside in the After World, until such time as necromantic rituals are used to call them forth into service once more. The Shadowfell is also where the spirits of the deceased dwell for a time before continuing their journey to the afterlife. Often, spirits will escape this bleak realm to haunt the natural world as ghosts, wraiths, and other horrors.
