The Shards are remnant pieces of the Ancestor World floating within the Deadspell Storm. They usually shield their interior habitat (oppidan and levee) from outside influences with a gigantic carapace (consisting out of an inner and an outer carapace) stretching over it. Shards should not be confused with Fragments, which might be as large but lack a carapace. Nor should they be confused with Raftyards, which are considerably smaller, also lack a carapace and are man-made.
There are four known Shards at present, with Enclave settlements:
• Parliament (Gameplay: the adventure of Spellborn players starts on this Shard)
• Quarterstone
• Ringfell
• Mount of Heroes
The Deadspell Storm is vast and mostly unexplored. Many other Shards are drifting in this sea of restless magic.
