The Realms do not co-exist at all times, but are rather created whenever needed. The Realms are pockets within The Entity, who constructs everything from itself except for the Killers and the Survivors. There are currently 16 Realms and 36 Maps featured in Dead by Daylight. Even the terrain itself shifts from trial to trial. Trial locations have certain fixed landmarks, but elements such as player starting locations, Generators, Chests Lockers, Totems and Exit Gates are placed to The Entity's whims. Players can influence The Entity's choice by burning certain Offerings. The location of the trial is chosen by The Entity.
