History
Today the city falls under the rule of the Siressan Empire, but it was previously claimed by the Dominion of Arninyast. Shard and the surrounding regions were home to some of the bloodiest and most brutal battles of the Chainbreaker War and Shard itself became notorious for remaining defiant and unconquered while the realms around it fell and bent the knee to the Siressan armies.
During what is now known as "The Shattering", the great mithral tower of Shard was completely destroyed by something called the Soulhammer - a powerful magical ritual that requires the lives of the 9 wizards who cast it. The supposedly unbreakable metal rained down on the inhabitants of the city, killing hundreds. The people's spirit was broken along with their tower.
