Portal 20
Before the Portals, the Desert of Hekhetma was not well mapped, or populated. One of the larger settlements was founded in the shade and cavern of a narrow canyon. At the mouth of canyon stands a natural basalt monolith, strikingly different from the sandstone rock of the area. The name of the town is from a bastardization of the names of the two natural formations, which came about when the portal 20 opened opposite the basalt ‘Shard’ and the yawning ‘Scar’.
Today, The Scarred Shard mostly refers to the settlements built along the wall of the canyon. The Scarred Shard tends to shun much of the technological advancement that is growing in the city, and those seeking refuge from the hustle bustle of city life can find it here.
