Shard Wastelands
This huge desolate plain consists of a coarse
gravel over a jagged rock surface. Only sparse vegetation colors the region. Through the
whole area, slender shards of kellanite stone erupt from the ground. These jagged and
angular shards stand between two and four feet tall, although some larger specimens grow
to twelve feet. The bluish grey stone shards are razor sharp and quite brittle. No
geological explanation has been confirmed, although one myth states that a tremendous battle between two mages occurred there
during the Great War. Fierce winds and loose rocks
will often shatter these crystalline shards and fling them about creating lethal
"shard storms". Any creature caught out in the open during a shard storm is
usually cut to pieces. Wind driven shards have been known to go right through plate armor.
The dragon known as
Stormwing lives in this region. She takes advantage of the shards here and
can whip them into a frenzy with her wings.
