The Shadow Realm

The Shadow Realm is a vast ocean where the souls of the damned reside. Should his master will it, The Ferryman sails the Ferry of the Damned around this ocean saving lost souls. If the Ferryman isnt sailing the seas saving the damned, the only way out is through a game of Yu-Gi-Oh.

The Shadow Realm was discovered by ***Grandpa Jenkins***, who saw this as a sacred religious realm and which inspired the basic religious principles that ***Eden's Door*** would be built upon.

It is important to note that those of ***The O' Donoghue Clan*** are not sent to the sea of the damned in the Shadow Realm, but sent to another level of existence in the Shadow Realm too powerful for any entity to escape. Those of the clan greatly fear this plain of existence. There is a way that alive ***O' Donoghues*** can communicate with their ancestors though, through a complex ritual. They never do this though as they tend to just bicker and insult one another.

### **During The Events of *Stone Ocean***

During this time it is said that ***Grandpa Jenkins*** recruited the Ferryman to save the souls of his group of crusaders if they were to fall in battle and so they would not be forever damned to The Shadow Realm. The Ferryman would warn them though with the phrase,

> "Linger not among the dead, pirate...
> There will be plenty of time for that on the day that my portal does not open for you."

### **During The Events of *Snake Eater***

The Ferryman had long been dormant by the time of ***The Tunnel Snakes***. ***Mister Jenkins*** wasnt even aware of his existence. In 1880 a rogue cultist faction who may or may not have some ties to ***Mister Jenkins*** sacrificed a group of enslaved children to The Shadow Realm for their diety. One of these children was ***Tyler Fullarton***, who managed to break free from The Shadow Realm by consuming the soul of The Ferryman as he was not letting him return to the land of the living. With the soul of the Ferryman inside him, he forced his own revival and became immortal.

***Tyler*** was later banished to The Shadow Realm by accident, but since his physical body was sent to The Shadow Realm, he couldnt escape through revival. He had to make a deal with a mysterious diety who he met in the Shadow Realm to escape, and because of that his feet would sometimes stop working and he would temporarily be sent to The Shadow Realm occasionally.

### **During The Events of *Cannibalism Island***

***Tyler*** had developed a strange interest in The Shadow Realm due to his frequent visits against his will. Because of this, he eventually started a relationship with a demon who was a resident of The Shadow Realm, ***Cannibal Jones***. Together they had a half demon child they named ***Timmy***. Because of Timmy's connection to The Shadow Realm he was born Chaotic Evil. During a family trip to Britain, Timmy hired *the birbs* to crash the airline in an attempt to kill his fathers. He then teamed up with the native cannibals to torture his parents.
