![[Shards.png]] # Description A Shard is a term used to describe a distinct realm or fragment of the world following the events of [[The Shattering]]. These Shards are the result of a cataclysmic magical occurrence that fractured the previously unified world into separate pieces. Each Shard is a self-contained realm with its own unique environment and properties and they can vary greatly in size, from small pockets of reality to vast territories. Most Shards retain the characteristics of their original geographical location in the [[Old World]]. ## Notable Shards - [[Thalnor]] - [[Old Thalnor]] - [[Blackmarsh]] - [[Straugeron]] - [[Vastuum]] - [[Gath]] - [[Kell]] - [[Ikoya]]
