{{Quote|I awoke to find myself in this strange place. I have no memory of how I came here.|Benedict Baker|4=IconHelp_DBDlogo.png}}
{{Quote|Every place feels mysterious, yet is somehow the same. Every time I wake up I shiver with fear for what new nightmare awaits. Each departure from the campfire is into confusion. Slowly I learn the different places, recognising features and buildings but I never really understand the pattern. As if some powerful force is shuffling the world as if we were a deck of cards. Maybe we are just pawns on a scrabble board?|[[Benedict Baker]]'s Journal|4=Dbd-journal-procedural.png}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' are semi-procedural locations within the World of The {{IconLink|Entity}}. Each Realm was the site of a violent tragedy in the past and they now serve as the Arenas for The Entity's trials.


== Overview ==
The location of the trial is chosen by The Entity. Players can influence The Entity's choice by burning certain {{IconLink|Offerings}}.

Trial locations have certain fixed landmarks, but elements such as player starting locations, {{IconLink|Generators}}, {{IconLink|Chests}} {{IconLink|Lockers}}, {{IconLink|Totems}} and {{IconLink|Exit Gates}} are placed to The Entity's whims. Even the terrain itself shifts from trial to trial.

There are currently '''{{clr|2|{{#Invoke:Maps|getCountOfRealms}}}}''' Realms and '''{{clr|6|{{#Invoke:Maps|getCountOfMaps}}}}''' Maps featured in ''{{IconLink|Dead by Daylight}}''.

== Lore ==
The Realms are pockets within The Entity, who constructs everything from itself except for the Killers and the Survivors. The Realms do not co-exist at all times, but are rather created whenever needed. The location of [[The Campfire]] is also located within such a pocket. The Woods and Fog beyond the Trial grounds represent the boundaries of the pocket and are just a façade.

== Sub-Realms ==
Sub-Realms are usually different planes of existence within the Realm of The Entity. There are currently '''{{clr|2|{{SubNom}}}}''' known Sub-Realms:
* [[Campfire]]
* [[Dream World]]
* [[Ethereal Plane]]
* [[Spirit World]]
* [[Void]]
* [[Upside Down]]


== Other Maps ==
Over the course of ''Dead by Daylight's'' existence, several either unreleased or unused Maps have been found in the Game files.<br>It is not known whether they will be released at some point or be removed from the code eventually.

Maps listed in '''{{clr|14|gold}}''' can (still) be found in the Game code, Maps in '''{{clr|15|fuchsia}}''' have been removed over time.<br>Their names are generally WIP names of Maps and a Map's actual name upon release would likely be different:
* The MacMillan Estate
** '''{{clr|14|Mini}}'''
** '''{{clr|14|Seb's Dream}}'''
* Crotus Prenn Asylum
** '''{{clr|15|Infinite Gym}}'''
* Haddonfield
** '''{{clr|15|Facility}}'''
* Backwater Swamp
** '''{{clr|15|Dead Lake}}'''
** '''{{clr|15|Grim Gully}}'''
** '''{{clr|14|Mound}}'''
* Ormond
** '''{{clr|14|Shack}}'''


== Tile Sizes ==
* The square Tiles used for measuring reference are actually 8x8 sub-tiles, making up the larger tile assets used to construct the Maps with.
** The Game uses 3 combinations of (Master) Tiles: 16x16, 16x32 or 32x32 metres / 4, 8 or 16 squared Tiles.
* Even though each Map's Tiles change their orientation and sometimes their location from trial to trial, the outer walls and thus the Map's size remain the same.

== Realm Nature Guide ==
In celebration of Earth Day 2021, the Developers published a "totally accurate nature guide to The Entity's Realm":
<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

== Trivia ==
* The average Map has a size of '''{{clr|2|{{#Invoke:Maps|getAverageMapSize}} square Tiles}}''' or '''{{clr|purple|{{#Invoke:Maps|getAverageMapSize|true}} m<sup>2</sup>}}'''.
** The outer walls are composed of single and double wall segments with a length of 8 metres for the single and 16 metres for the double segments.
** This allows a calculation of a Map's size, with [[{{#Invoke:Maps|getBiggestMap|true}}]] being the largest Map with '''{{clr|6|{{#Invoke:Maps|getBiggestMap}}}}''' and [[{{#Invoke:Maps|getSmallestMap|true}}]] being the smallest Map with '''{{clr|8|{{#Invoke:Maps|getSmallestMap}}}}''' square Tiles.
*** Even though [[The Underground Complex]] is technically the Map covering the smallest surface area, with its numerous catwalks its actual playable surface is considerably larger and is estimated to be in the neighbourhood of '''{{clr|4|~138}}''' square Tiles.
