History

Like all Shards of The Integrum, Acrolon's history begins during The Shattering at the end of the Gilded Age, when the Shards were created. During the Gilded Age, Acrolon and the other Shards did not exist, as there was only a single Mortal Realm. Prior to the Gilded Age, The Integrum did not exist, as it was constructed during the First Age.

Etymology

The Shard was originally named Norheim by its native inhabitants, the Nor. In the late Shattered Age, it became the location for the throne of Empire of Acrolon. Gradually the name Acrolon replaced Norheim, and by the end of the Shattered Age, Acrolon became the most common name for the Shard.
