Headcanons - Dark Realm Edition
I was supposed to be writing my novel this evening, but instead I wrote ten headcanons about the Dark Realm for no reason. Itβs ok. Iβm sure I can use all of these things in my novel. When I write it. Maybe.

The Dark Realm exists outside of time. For every one Earth/Enchanted Forest year, the Dark Realm experiences 28 years of time. Because of its existence outside time, and the lack of control Fiona has when releasing her dark creatures from the realms, they find themselves scattered through time. This results in many of the creatures, including the darkness itself, existing in the Enchanted Forest and Neverland before Fiona was ever born. However, it all has root from the same place - the darkness within the Black Fairy.

At least 100 dragons live within the Dark Realm. The largest of these, Brutus, was the first dragon ever created by Fionaβs Dark Magic. Heβs over three million years old, kept alive by the fairyβs magic

There are three varieties of wolves within the realm. The most numerous is the ferocious black wolves of the Green Forest. These wolves are the size of horses, and have been known to feast on lone travellers who happen across their paths at night. The grey wolves of the Dark forest are also fairly populous. Smaller than their black counterparts, the grey wolves are just a little larger than Earthβs wolves. In the winter peaks live the smallest species of wolves - the winter wolves. Pure white in colour, they usually hide from visitors and mostly come out at dusk.

The Dark Forest is home to several families of black unicorn. Protected by the Black Fairy, it is forbidden under the penalty of death to harm or kill a black unicorn, or disturb a nesting pregnant unicorn.

The Echoless Forest is a vast forest to the south of the realm. A place where sound goes to die. The forest is so dense and the air so heavy, that sound can barely travel. The forest is home to numerous horrific creatures, such as giant spiders, ogres and goblins. The Black Fairy is the only one able to walk through the forest unharmed.

There is a secret waterfall in the Dark Forest that is only accessible by Fiona and her family. She created it after a few decades in the Dark Realm while desperate for a calming and relaxing noise. Worried that people may ruin the tranquility of the waterfall for her, she protected it from other people with a spell. Her creatures and her family are free to come and go though.

In the Green Forest is a small, abandoned cottage that was Fionaβs original home before the Darkling arrived and she created herself a castle out of thin air. The cottage is small, basically a studio, and created from the memories she had of her home with Malcolm. No one has entered the cottage for millions of years, yet it remains pristine.

The rivers and streams of the Dark Realm are filled with Kelpies. Their population has boomed in recent years due to the number of idiot villagers who keep falling for their tricks. Fiona does nothing to stop it. She cares more about the animals and creatures of the Dark Realm than its people.

There are several dark merpeople in the seas of the Dark Realm. First created there by Fiona, they are filled with her darkness and meant to lure sailors to their deaths. The merpeople were granted the ability to pass through realms using portals beneath the seas by Fionaβs uncle, Poseidon.

There are ten different towns villages within the Dark Realm of varying size and characteristic. Most of the population are spread among these places, but Fiona recently allowed those within the realm to build dwellings wherever they felt suitable, on the provision that none of he habitats of her beasts and dark creatures be disturbed.
Blackfell - The largest of the towns within the forest, and also the oldest. The Black Fairyβs first prisoners settled here as it was the one place in the realm without trees at the time (a result of Fiona letting out her frustrations and destroying a portion of the forest, a mile in diameter years earlier). If the Dark Realm had a capital city, it would be Blackfell.
Greencrest - A village on the frozen river. The occupants are very skilled at ice fishing. Apart from the river bank, the village is almost entirely surrounded by trees and only accessible by one path.
Dawnmoor - Dawnmoor was created when several merchants who had gained wealth trading among the villages decided they no longer wished to be a part of the lowly villages. Breaking away, they created a more elaborate village, east of Blackfell.
Rockpeak - Build upon the Eastern cliffs of the dark realm, south of Ebonwood. The two cities were created together, but Rockpeak thrived while Ebonwoodβs growth was rather.. stunted.
Shadespell - One of the newest villages in the Dark Realm. Itβs less dense than the other villages and is made up of several small hamlets that happen to be close by one another.
Crystalhallow - Resting south of Rockpeak, Crystalhallow is a fishing village, benefitting from resting by both a large lake and the sea. Freshwater and saltwater fish are caught daily and sold throughout the realm.
Millcoast - A coastal village on the south east coast, settled by those servants who work in Fiona and Aleksanderβs summer palace.
Grisha village - Just outside Fionaβs castle walls, she built a village for those of the Grisha who wished to follow the Darkling into the Dark Realm. Despite all the events in Ravka, many of the Grisha still remain loyal to the Darkling and chose to follow him into his βnew worldβ.
Ebonwood - Build upon the Eastern cliffs of the dark realm, North of Rockpeak. The two cities were created together, but Rockpeak thrived while Ebonwoodβs growth was stunted by the sea monster nest by their coast. After their village was destroyed several times, the Black Fairy build an enchanted wall around the village to prevent the attacks.
Starless Saint village - A village for those non-Grisha Ravkan Refugees who believe in the Starless Saint and wish to reside in his realm.
