Fractured Land

The Fractured Land, also known as the Broken Country, is a near-mythological location, located several thousand miles away from the Rohagi continent and New Crobuzon on the opposite end of the Empty Ocean, to the south. It was created from the force of impact during the initial arrival of the Ghosthead.  

Description

The nature of the Fractured Land is unclear. There are some indications that the area is a large Torque zone, while other indications point toward the effects of a massive Possibility seam. In either case, the area is extremely hazardous.  

Wildlife

The Fractured Land is home to a variety of incredibly dangerous flora and fauna, including slake moths, dreadcurs, and lightfungus.  

Civilizations

The Fractured Land is home to at least a few unnamed civilizations, as well as enough sentient beings for the evolution of creatures, like the slake moths, that feed exclusively on sentience.   Trade Despite the conditions of the Fractured Land and the hostile currents of the Empty Ocean that borders the Scar, which in turn makes travel to the land exceedingly difficult, goods from the Fractured Land have made their way to New Crobuzon via direct or indirect trade with the Shards.
