Donavin's Inner Circle

Darkness Realm formerly known as The Land of Darkness, also known as Donavin's Inner Circle, is the former domain of the God of Darkness and salem and the antithesis of the Domain of Light. The pools of Grimm and Creature Portals are located there. Donavin and his subordinates use Darkness Castle as their base of operations.

## Past

The God of Darkness himself resided in the center of a large, central Pool of Grimm at his shrine, standing as an antithesis to the Fountain of Life. Like the Fountain of Life, stairs led to the pool, but as people were not fond of the God of Darkness, only a skeleton was left there, as opposed to gifts placed in the Domain of Light.

## Current

Darkness Realm formerly known as The Land of Darkness was a barren wasteland before Donavin turned it into castle while his pools of Grimm remain close to the castle, the land also comes with rocky terrain and enormous Gravity Dust crystals sprouting from the ground. The sky is a dark red. Grimm spawn in large numbers from pools of a viscous, tar-like substance that are now around the whole castle.

The realm is first seen when Donavin meets with his subordinates in a large conference room, showing that there is some sort of structure at the location. Apparently built in a huge crystal wall, with a cave-like tunnel leading to the stairs inside.

Donfire trains with his powers against various kinds of Grimm in a large circular room with a skylight in the dome.

## Grimm Pools

An important feature of the Darkness Realm are pools of a viscous, tar-like substance capable of spawning large numbers of Grimm. But the substance is alluded to when the Wyvern exuded the substance spawning Grimm like Creeps, Beowolves and Ursai.

The entire building is dimly lit, only illuminated by weak candles, the dark sky and sometimes the moon. It seems to be built out of rock and Black crystal and decorated by smaller crystals and candles.

## Conference Hall

The most often seen space of the castle is the conference hall. When Donavin gathers his subordinates for a meeting. The room features a crystal table surrounded by many wooden chairs. At the end of the table, Donavin sits in his crystal throne.

Opposite his throne is a pair of simple wooden double doors that are the only entrance to the room, which leads to the first training room. A number of crystal formations surround the room with white candles on their tops, and behind Donavin's throne is a crystal table adorned with several white candles. Above the table is a chandelier made out of branches and crystals. The floor is made of square, reflective tiles.

## Training Rooms

Donfire was training his powers against Beowolves and Beringels in a circular training room. It has a skylight and four entrances, one of which leads to the conference hall. Candles line the entire wall of the room and Donavin's emblem is situated in the middle of the ground.

Tick is seen training in a different training hall, which resembles a church hall. The floor is covered by several tatami mats. The windows feature stained glass, and there is a rose window above the entrance. The indentations in the walls are filled with candles.

## Outside

On the outside, the castle features a landing deck that leads to an archway and stairs up to a door to the inside. A portion of the castle's exterior is visible from the landing deck, where Walter, Tick and tirick land from Haven Academy with a Mistral Airship.
