Shattered Forest
The Shattered Forest is a large, forested hypocenter within The Shatter, located roughly parallel to the Mount Hood National Forest. The hypocenter is caused by a pair of espial crossings in close proximity. The true extent of the forest is unknown, and the forest's ecosystem is home to flora and fauna not found within the Mount Hood National Forest.
The forest remains relatively unknown for the majority of people in Reality, as entrances are unpredictable and can be short in duration. In addition to this, some individuals attempting to enter the forest are barred from entering by Dysnomia, or removed from the forest by Eris.
The forest is said to have an "otherworldly feeling", which can make memories feel hazy for those unaccustomed to the feeling. It has a baseline Rin measurement of around 2.21Rn, and is also home to both the lowest and highest Rin readings (located near the center of Zephyr's Garden and the edge of The Gap respectively) taken inside The Shatter.
Zephyr's Garden
Zephyr's Garden is a subsection of the Shattered Forest created as a result of Zephyr entering the forest. The garden is an ongoing project working towards cultivating and cataloguing the various flora and fauna within the forest, providing a central home for inhabitants of the forest, and is Zephyr's primary residence.
For more information, see Zephyr's Garden.
Polarities
The Shattered Forest has four polarities, each representative of a particular "theme", with some themes more starkly represented than others. Zephyr's Garden is located roughly in the center of all four polarities, where they all converge.
The Lustre
The lustre is the north-eastern polarity, and is typically associated with bright colors and "retro" technology. Its baseline Rin measures around 3.82Rn, making it the polarity with the highest baseline Rin levels.

Null Zones
The Shattered Forest has four "null zones", one in each cardinal direction relative to the forest's hypocenter. The null zones are areas where the local Rin baseline spikes, resulting in large swaths of the forest being ungrounded. Each null zone also occurs in the area directly between two polarities, where the polarities' strengths are smallest. As a result, each null zone is a large, difficult to traverse area of land that is devoid of some aspect of reality, and all null zones frequently break the laws of physics and euclidean geometry.
