When Hellbourne rifts are closed, they leave behind unhealed scars that taint the land for years. Daemon and mortal alike have discovered that Riftshards harvested from this unholy ground can be used as powerful enhancements to weapons, especially given their occasional tendency to explode for massive damage.
