The Shadow Realm is an alternate dimension where the shadows lie and it is here where the Shadowkhan tribes originate from. It is the one place that no mortal would dare enter. The realm is an empty, red or black void filled with an eery, mist-like sky and the only beings that reside within are the Shadowkhan tribes and demon-like snakes. The Shadow Realm also acts as a sort of nexus that when accessed, can transport anyone to any place in the world, however for humans to access it, they need the aid of dark magic, such as Shadow Magic.
With the essence of The Oni generals, Alex can bypass using shadow magic and travel through the shadow realm. But due to Tarakudo's influence in the shadow realm, he blocks Alex's access to it. so he can only summon his Shadow-khan.
The reason the Oni generals can't leave the shadow realm is that when they were sealed away, the ones who did it used masks made in their image as the key to their return to earth. when found and worn by someone the seal is loosened allowing the Oni to take over the body and fight again.
the residents of the shadow realm are the Oni, the tribes of shadow-khan which remain blended into the shadows of the realm, and demon snakes that live there. Oni's are evil and so are the demon snakes, the shadow-khan are nutral mindless drones only following orders.
