Location from RWBY by Rooster Teeth
Salem's domain — a blackened wasteland of Grimm pools, corrupted terrain, and a dark castle where the immortal queen plans humanity's extinction.
The Land of Darkness is what Remnant would look like if the Grimm won everywhere. A vast wasteland of cracked black earth under a sky of perpetual purple-red twilight, dotted with pools of viscous black liquid from which new Grimm crawl fully formed. The terrain is jagged, lifeless, and wrong in a way that registers in the gut before the eyes — rock formations that look like frozen screams, rivers of dark fluid that move against gravity, and an ambient wrongness that makes Aura flicker and Semblances unreliable. Salem's castle rises from this landscape like a cathedral of bone and obsidian — a sprawling structure with Grimm-organic architecture that seems to grow rather than be built. Inside, her faction gathers around a conference table that would look corporate if not for the windows overlooking an apocalypse. This is where Cinder received her orders, where Tyrian reports like a faithful hound, and where Salem plans with the patience of someone who has already outlived civilizations.
Salem's domain — a nightmarish wasteland of purple-black skies, jagged obsidian rock formations, and rivers of viscous black Grimm ooze from which new Grimm endlessly spawn. The terrain is barren and corrupted, with crystalline purple formations and perpetual twilight. At its center sits Salem's castle — a towering gothic fortress of dark stone with organic, bone-like architecture. The pools of annihilation bubble constantly, birthing creatures of pure destruction.
