Evernight
Evernight is a domain of Shadow, Imperial God/dess of Anarchy, Revolution, Freedom, Shadows, Night and Moon. It is located within a broken realm of Gehenna, and, by extension, afterlife of Imperial Religion. As such its exact location is hard to discern, for it exists in a place when space and time are - to a point at least - foreign concept.
All description of it come from local daemons and Damned, and Chosen of Shadow that visited this place. All of them are... rather subjective and very, very imperfect. In fact everything that is believed to be known about this place can as well be an elaborate fake due to some ancient conspiracy made by Shadow for reasons unknown...
Evernight's Dead come here from several sources. Many of them simply chooses to go to best afterlife for social outcasts and misfits - for Shadow accepts all. Others are revolutionaries that tried to overthrown social order and were condemned here by the Judge. Shadow doesn't rule this place in a traditional sense - she actually prefers to be worshipped while leaving the Dead for their own devices. Most cities and towns are ruled by perpetually overthrowned shadowy cabals, with dozens of others ready to replaced them at any given time.
Geography
There are several chief 'biomes' that are more or less established as truth in regard to Evernight.
Big parts of Evernight are filled with gray and dead wastelands, mostly rocky. They are completely infertile lands, created as places of perpetual punishment for vampires of Vok that are located and eliminated by vampires and loyal servants of Shadow. Bands of their demonized remains (known as Bloodletters) roam this lands, ripping every 'living' being they encounter into pieces, drinking whatever blood they found to quench their eternal thirst for blood. It is believed that there are also other beings stalking this wastelands... but no details are known.
There are also unending forests, forever covered in darkness of Evernight's perpetual night. This regions are described as places of thriving ecosystem, but one extremely violent. With beasts devouring everything stupid enough to intrude upon this place. Deep inside there are also rumour shadowed ruins, covered with many eldritch ruins. They are inhabited by Shadowlurkers, Shadow's most terrifying servants born from her own insanity and corruption that Malice infected her with in their mother's womb.
Of course, there are also places inhabited by the Dead. Great cities are scattered throughout Evernight, each of them housing millions of daemons and Dead. Every one of them surrounds massive pillar-towers - atop which portals leading to Shadow's palace are located. This cities are described as perpetually decaying, but also perpetually changing. Their leadership keeps being overthrowned by yet another groups of revolutionaries. They are also perpetually covered in darkness, and with... strange beings creeping through their dark alleyways.
Last region is the massive moon that seems to take up majority of the sky. Upon it there is a palace, in which Shadow resides, together with her court of most trusted daemons and Dead, perpetually plotting some nefarious schemes to be played in both Light and Dark. Almost nothing is known of this place, however.
