The '''Shattered Plains''' are a located on the border of the [[Frostlands]] and [[Unclaimed Hills]] formerly part of the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Natanatan]].{{ref|map ref|Alethkar}}{{ref|b|sa1|c|19}} They are aptly named, as the terrain of the Plains consists of huge numbers of plateaus of various sizes, surrounded on all sides by deep chasms. It is unknown what caused the landscape to form this way.
 
== Topography ==
 
Only the western portion of the plains have been explored. The westernmost edge is ringed by ten circular valleys.{{ref|map ref|Shattered Plains}} Each valley's ridges have been worn away by [[Highstorm]]s where they connect to the Shattered Plains themselves.{{ref|b|sa1|c|6}}
 
The edge of the plains consist of smaller plateaus with chasms ranging generally from 50 to 150 feet in depth which can be easily bridged, and many permanent bridges have been constructed joining them together. Moving eastward, the plains become much more varied in size and the chasms themselves can become much wider making crossing from one to another much more challenging.{{ref|b|sa1|c|12}}
