Looking into the Shadowfell, there is not much here to entice most adventurers. In 4th edition, all of this was combined to create the Shadowfell - a plane of shadows, the demiplanes of dread, and the Raven Queen who oversees that all souls pass through Letherna. While they had all the power in their domains, they could never leave until they atoned for their evil or others came along to destroy them. Here, the evil creatures would become prisoners of their own world. When a creature became so horrifying and evil, it was said that the Dark Powers would cause fog to rise around their domain, and would then fall into Ravenloft. This setting is best known for the vampire lord, Strahd Von Zarovich, though Ravenloft was also the home to Vecna, the God of Evil Secrets. The Ravenloft setting is home to the most evil of creatures, trapped forever in their demiplane prisons. Mortals from the Material Plane with enough magical-ability could briefly visit the Plane of Shadow and travel great distances across their home plane as the Shadowlands are far more mutable. Each of these shadow-creatures started as the shadows of creatures from the Material Plane, though many found ways to become untethered to their original owners. The more shadowstuff a shadow-creature had, the more powerful they were. The Plane of Shadow is home to shadow-creatures and shadowstuff, the raw stuff that creates the shadow-creatures.
