I awoke to find myself in this strange place. I have no memory of how I came here.

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 depiction of the Procedural.
The Realms are semi-procedural locations within the World of The 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 Offerings 
.
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. Even the terrain itself shifts from trial to trial.
There are currently 14 Realms and 34 Maps featured in 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.

Unreleased Maps
There are currently at least 5 unreleased Maps belonging to several Realms, that can be found in the Game files:
- Mini (MacMillan Estate)
- Seb's Dream (MacMillan Estate)
- Infinite Gym (Crotus Prenn Asylum)
- Dead Lake (Backwater Swamp)
- Grim Gully (Backwater Swamp)
Tiles
- 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.
Trivia
- The average Map has a size of 155 square Tiles.
- 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 Mother's Dwelling being the largest Map with 188 and Treatment Theatre being the smallest Map with 116 square Tiles.
