The Diaspora is the wide belt of asteroids found between the planets of Verces and Eox. These balls of rock and ice range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to the size of small planetoids.12

Description

The Diaspora was formed out of the remnants of two worlds, Damiar and Iovo, sometimes called the Twins or the Sister Worlds. The planets were destroyed in some cataclysmic, historical event2 that occurred at some point before the founding of Thassilon in the Age of Legend.3

Rune representation

In scholarly works, the Diaspora is sometimes represented by a rune: a bifurcated circle divided vertically in the middle, forming a reverse 'D'-shape next to a 'D'-shape on its right.4

Inhabitants

The main inhabitants within the Diaspora are the winged sarcesians, who live on 12 magically enhanced creche worlds within the Diaspora.25 Other life in the Diaspora includes:26
