The Realm of Shadows
Rᴇᴀʟᴍ ᴏf Sʜᴀᴅᴏᴡs A bizarre place, where nothing is quite normal; to arrive here is a thing of rumor and myth. Running northeast to southwest, bisecting the region of Fizzytopia, is the majestic River Virga. Folklore says that on moonlit nights a hooded figure navigates its length aboard an old, narrow vessel made of wood. For the right price, they will ferry you up the river, to a place not on any map -- a place many say doesn’t even exist. Current Shop Rules:
Zone Rules General ★ A player may enter the zone either by redeeming Clarity or by exchanging a Silver Umbra. ★ A player may only visit the Realm of Shadows twice within one calendar year. ★ A party of six Pokémon may be brought into the zone. ★ To reach internal areas (Twisty Shrine, Crooked Font, or Peculiar Peak) players must first traverse through the corresponding external area. Exchanging a Silver Umbra ★ Players who exchange a Silver Umbra are granted one free adventure. ★ Players who have exchanged a Silver Umbra may either catch a Pokémon or purify/shadowfy one party Pokémon. ★ When exchanging a Silver Umbra, Pokémon may be purified/shadowfied regardless of Clarity. ★ Exchanging a Silver Umbra counts towards the limit of two adventures per calendar year. Redeeming Bond ★ When a Pokémon reaches a clarity value of 00 or 30, players are granted one free adventure. ★ The Pokémon whose clarity is being redeemed must be in the party, and is the only Pokémon which can be made pure or shadow. ★ Wild Shadow Pokémon can be encountered but cannot be captured when redeeming clarity. ★ Redeeming clarity counts towards the limit of two adventures per calendar year. Zone Areas The Skewed Forest: Along the banks of the river grows a dense forest of white-barked trees, with branches that twist and tangle in ways not seen in any typical wood. Regardless of season, the branches are always thick with leaves and abloom with strange yet beautiful flowers unlike anything ever seen elsewhere. The forest teams with life, but the Pokémon found here don't seem quite normal... The Twisty Shrine: At the heart of the Skewed Forest is a large tree; so large it defies imagination. Its snow-white bark is covered in innumerable carvings, of pictures, of names, of wishes and ideas, in languages both familiar and foreign. Some of them are deep, and some of them are shallow; some are quite old, and others look brand new. Its branches seem to reach the heavens, and its roots, each one as thick around as a man, rise from the soil in fantastic knots and curls. In the hollow space formed between the earth and the twist of the mightiest of the roots is a shrine with no known origin to the deity Pokémon Lugia, said to have been so overwhelmed by its own power that it hid itself in the sea. An earnest prayer to the wooden effigy can bring clarity to those in need, or unshackle those who wish to be freed from the restraints of normalcy. The Lake of Reflections: A rivulet breaks from the river, trickling down a steep slope to pool in the basin at the foot of the hills. Opalescent and almost ethereal, the water reflects back a distorted image of the world. Crooked reeds grow around its edge, skirted by oddly shaped lily pads and strangely colored grasses. Deep enough to swim in, its surface ripples with all the signs of a thriving ecosystem, but the creatures that call this place home are just a little unusual... The Crooked Font: On the far side of the Lake of Reflections is a crude fountain made of smooth yet irregularly shaped rocks of many colors, set into the side of a hill. It flows, never-ending, though there there is no evidence of a spring to feed it. The largest of the stones forms a centerpiece, upon which is painted odd yet recognizable images of the deity trio of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, their wings folded and their heads bowed as if in deep introspection. The water here is cool and sweet and pleasant to drink. It is so refreshing that it is nearly transcendental; those who imbibe talk of seeing the world with a new clarity, or discovering new resolve to walk a unique path in life. The Topsy-Turvy Hills: Surrounding the Lake of Reflection are seven hills, with drastic slopes and lopsided valleys. So wild are the curves and peaks that to walk them is to not even know if one is coming, or going. Wildflowers grow along their sides in neon colors that defy nature, speckled like faerie lights in the tall grass. Even when the winds are still, the hillsides rustle with the comings and goings of little critters that, under close inspection, are a tad bit odd... The Peculiar Peak: Reaching the top of the tallest hill is surprisingly challenging. Though ostensibly of finite height, those who try to climb find themselves seeming to make no progress in their ascension -- up and up they walk, and yet the peak doesn't ever seem to get any closer. Still, it is just a hill; if one walks long enough up its side, surely one will reach the top eventually. If you do, a breathtaking view awaits. Here, one can see everything in the realm, which seems to stretch on forever in a tapestry of thickets, hills, valleys, and rivulets. Towering above the earth, one could almost catch the stars that streak through the sky as they fall in twos and threes in an endless cosmic cascade. A constellation likened to the deity Pokémon Ho-oh hangs like a crown jewel over the peak, promising to bring new and different life from the ashes of the old -- a clearer future, or a strange new journey. |

Cʟᴀʀɪᴛʏ Clarity is the new mechanic by which normal Pokémon turn into Shadow Pokémon, and by which Shadow Pokémon can be purified. It replaces the negative bond system, and is one of two means of entry into the Realm of Shadows. It is completely player-tracked, although redemption of clarity must be approved by a ZA or ZU prior to adventuring. General ★ Clarity operates on a scale of 00 to 20. ★ Shadow Pokémon start with 00 clarity. All other Pokémon start with 20 clarity. ★ Shadow Pokémon are purifiable when they reach 20 clarity. ★ Non-shadow Pokémon are shadowfiable when they reach 00 clarity. ★ Clarity, like bond, is optional. You may choose to claim positive clarity, negative clarity, both, or neither. Gaining & Losing GAINING CLARITY
LOSING CLARITY
Converting from Bond Under the old system, Shadow Pokémon had a negative bond value between -20 and -01. To convert to the new system, take the value of the negative bond and subtract it from 30. The resulting value is your Pokémon's new clarity value. e.g. if your Pokémon's previous bond value was -05, subtact 05 from 30. (30 - 05 = 25.) Your Pokémon's new clarity value would be 25. ★ When converting from bond, you must provide a link to the most recent bond post for the Pokémon in question. Redeeming When a Shadow Pokémon accumulates 30 clarity, or when the clarity of any other Pokémon reaches 00, the extreme bond value may be 'redeemed' for one Realm of Shadows adventure. To redeem clarity, reply to this thread with links to sources of all applied positive or negative clarity and the nickname, species, and gender of the Pokémon whose clarity is being redeemed. ★ Clarity cannot be redeemed if gains or losses cannot be confirmed.
