	'''Shadowland''' is an archetypal setting. That is, it is a setting that meets the needs of the [[Shadow Archetype]] out of Jungian philosophy. Fancy way of saying that this setting has the specific purpose in the story of providing a darker view of ''another'' setting in the story. [[Mordor]] serves as a shadowland of The Shire in Tolkien's works, for example. Another example would be the grimy underground dwellings of the Morlocks, provided as a shadow of the [[Arcadia\|agrarian paradise]] enjoyed by the Eloi in H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine."
