Shard Realms (called "Fragmenti" by older mages) are umbral realms connected to one of the nine spheres and mapping over one of the planets of the solar system.
Overview[]
In the view of the Celestial Chorus, every Shard Realm is a fraction of the One. A Shard Realm is connected to one of the planets within the Solar system and form its own specific Umbra. Each Shard Realm is connected to a specific Sphere that is dominant within its boundaries. Every Shard Realm is also connected to a Shade Realm, which is rumored to lead into a parallel universe dominated by one of the Spheres. Each Shard Realm is inhabited and ruled by a powerful Celestine.
The Order of Hermes traditionally refers to the Shard Realms by their corresponding Sphere. Modern terminology usually refers to the Shard Realm simply as the associated celestial body.
