 many pulp stories, few fragments comprise more than one type of geography. There are ice shards, desert shards, jungle shards, and so on, but a true mixed location is  rare. All shards, large and small, share two common features. First, they possess an
 atmosphere identical to that of Earth in basic composition and pressure.
-Second, gravity on any shard, regardless of its size or composition is  the same as Earth's. The [[Aether]], the gap between Shards, has zero gravity, and can new write dangerous.

+===== Shard Systems =====
+Shards are often found in close proximity to others in an orbiting dance through the Aether known as a Shard System. These systems are usually named for the largest Shard that holds the others in orbit, termed the Primary Shard.
+===== Material Shards =====
+Material Shards are made from the stuff that was once the Prime Material Plane before the Sundering. Some contain structures and civilizations that survived the apocalyptic event and thrived.
+===== Fey Shards =====
+Fey Shards are the remnants of the Feywild. They are the home to many fantastic creatures and peoples.
+===== Shadow Shards =====
+The Shadowfell was fractured just like all the other Inner Planes during the Sundering. Shadow Shards are the remains of the Shadowfell. They are populated by the stoic Shadar-Kai, and still bear the soul-crushing influence of that plane despite now being free of it.
+===== Elemental Shards =====
+Shards of the Elemental Planes of earth, air, fire, and water are common features of Shard Systems. These bodies are unique from the others in that they typically give off some sort of illumination such as the bright white-hot light of flame or the soft, moonlit glow from an Elemental Shard torn from the Elemental Plane of Earth.
