       Lady Black Sun - The Plane of Shadow

       The most striking and immediate impression a visitor to the
       Plane of Shadow experienced was the lack of color and light; no
       sun, moon, or stars adorned the vault of the inky black sky, and
       all things looked as if the color had leached out, leaving
       nothing but black and white, which in the dimness is more like
       "dark black" and "light black". A light source only illuminated
       half the distance it normally would, flames and fires put out
       less heat, and spells that deal with light or fire are less
       predictable and prone to failure, whereas shadow spells are
       enhanced. On the other hand, although it would not illuminate as
       far, any light source on the plane can be spotted at a distance
       of up to ten times its normal range of illumination, such was
       the contrast to the constant gloom, similar to a star in the
       night sky.
       Throughout the entire realm, it is a dark echo of the material
       plane lakes, cities and forests are roughly in the same area,
       that is where the similarities end. The Shadow plane is a cruel
       twisted mirror, and as such trees are twisted, water is a black
       ooze and  buildings are warped into evil looking structures. The
       Realm is ever changing, there are frequent shadow quakes and
       buildings as well as landmarks are known to disappear or twist
       into a new look often.
       Some areas within the Shadow plane possess an affinity with the
       negative energy plane. These "darklands" had a minor negative
       trait and unprotected visitors immediately feel the life force
       being sucked from their bodies—unless they exited the darkland
       quickly, all that was left of them was a pile of ash. Someone
       with protection from negative energy could stop and admire the
       utter desolation in an otherwise forlorn landscape, and perhaps
       make the acquaintance of the truly inimical undead. Sadly, no
       natural vortices opened into darklands regions, preventing the
       unwary from stepping through into almost certain death, and even
       worse keeping the creatures that thrived there from having easy
       access to other planes. Material Plane locations such as
       desecrated burial mounds, and haunted battlefields frequently
       had a “darkland” echo on the Shadowfell.
