Shattered Frontier

Some believe the Shattered Frontier is cursed, created when the gods turned their gaze from Nyxis. Many have reported ghost sighting, time anomalies, and experiencing echoes from the past.

Fragments of ancient technology rumored to be connected to the Phoenix are occasionally unearthed here.

Geography

There are jagged mesas, deep canyons, and cracked metallic plains dotting this region. Geothermal vents frequently release hear and/or water while dormant aetheric scars still pulse from ruptured ley lines (one of a few reminders of an ancient war). Hidden subterranean ruins are being discovered with many saying there are a few that the The Automaton Collective have claimed.

Climate

The climate is arid and brutal. Day temperatures soar under a coppery sun while the nights plummet to an eerie coldness. The weather is unpredictable with fogfalls, violet lightning, and aetherstorms. Rain is rare, but when it does, it's often toxic with the occasional strange bioluminescent particles.

Fauna & Flora
