Geography
Although the world map for the Shadowlands (pictured right) depicts the realms of the Shadowlands on a flat plane, this is only a top-down view. In reality, the Shadowlands are an infinite three-dimensional space, and Revendreth is the zone that is lowest down and closest to the Maw. Similarly, while Maldraxxus appears to be adjacent to the Maw, it's not being directly affected by it in the same way that Revendreth is.

Inhabitants
Beings of death are known to be ancient and powerful in the Shadowlands, and it is dangerous to meddle in their own infinite realms. When Odyn peered into the Shadowlands, he saw some of its inhabitants: souls in torment, the husks of the dead, ghostly wraiths with no face, and others with no form, all made of death itself. This was enough to frighten even him. Many beings in the Shadowlands are souls of deceased mortals, some of which have been transformed to serve a new purpose, such as the kyrian of Bastion. Other creatures—such as dredgers and stewards—are endemic to the Shadowlands and are naturally born from the magic of Death to serve the different realms and help facilitate the process of the afterlife. The various races of Ardenweald are born from the infinite realm itself, such as the Tirnenn coming to be same time as the dream trees came about and the faeries springing from the ground.

If a being of Death is killed on the mortal plane, their essence returns to the Shadowlands to be reformed, similar to how demons reform in the Twisting Nether. However, if such a being—either the soul of a former mortal or a native being of the Shadowlands—is slain or destroyed in the Shadowlands, their essence is sent to the infinite realm of Amelior to be reformed. While their previous energy then disperses and joins the greater whole of the magic of Death, new energy and physical forms are given to the ones that were slain in the Shadowlands. If a "workforce" creature like a dredger or steward dies, another member of the same race will eventually manifest to take the place of the one that was killed. If a being in Ardenweald is killed, its soul becomes part of the forest and wait for a time to reform, similar to how beings are reformed in Amelior. A person that is still alive when they cross the veil into the Shadowlands, however, has a tether to their homeworld that might nudge them back to life when killed there.
