Capital Shard
Geography
The Capital shard lied on a very diverse land as it is a transition between the many unique landscapes of The United Shard. The center of the shard is mostly a grassy hill country. To the south the hills grow large as it transitions to the titular Shadowed Canyons of the The Shadowed Canyons, same as to the west where the hills flatten and goes to the Great Hawk Plains of Great Hawk. The grasslands turn to marsh as to the north it merges into the @Bollothglade Swamps. Aprimilla Expanse or @Aprimilla. The creatures and plants that make up this shard are as diverse as the populous that it governs.Socio-Economics & Politics
Previous to The Fracturing of the Shards the lands of The Capital Shard were owned by Bollothglade and The Shadowed Canyons. Once they had succeeded from Yorkett the two shards had decided it was in everyone's best interest to setup a central location as the capital for the newly founded country. This would allow faster flows of information and goods throughout the country than either of their own capitals, Rougeford or Ravinton. It would also help entice the other shards to join the union as a display of equality between each other. As a administrative district the shard is ran by the government of the greater government of The United Shard, whose current president is the former mayor of Rougeford. The people previous to The Fracturing of the Shards were mostly subsistence farmers in the hillcountry or fishermen living on the Rochbalt Basin. There is also a significant population of druids that lived to the east in the forests. Since the advent of Low Magic Crystals much of the population has moved to Rochbalt as having a new capital city means lots of opportunity for jobs, especially in the wake of the crystals.
