The Dark Realm

Rather like Black Hollow, the Dark Realm is not a true name, but the moniker given to the world of Atlantancia, after it was co-opted by the evil wizard Mandrake Harcus, who ruled there for thousands of years before being imprisoned.

Once ruled by Unicorns and Fairies for countless centuries, Atlantancia was originally a place of childhood, magic, and dreams; however, upon the coming to power of the dark wizard Mandrake Harcus, its purpose was corrupted. At the orders of the new ruler, the Fairie species was almost completed destroyed, and the Unicorns were forced to retreat to a sanctuary dubbed 'The Silver Glade', where they, and anyone else they chose to protect, remained shielded from the wizard's evil powers.

Although its geography remains unclear, it is known that Harcus castle - the wizard's palace, and the home of his vampire daughter, Ambrosine - is separated from the Unicorns' sanctuary by a treacherous path known as Dragon's Pass, preventing Dark Children such as the young vampire from entering the sanctuary, unless brought there by humans such as Jessica.
