	'''Forsaken Elves''' are the cursed remnants of the High Elves; afflicted with a ~~divine~~ malady that renders it impossible to produce children, and ~~also suffer from an inability to access~~ the ~~true power~~ of their patron deity, Jandaveos, ~~who was~~ slain in the battle against Chern. With most of their youngsters slain in that same battle, the Forsaken Elves are a dying race. With little else left, they cling to what they have left, mostly pride, giving them a reputation as arrogant, cynical, fatalistic bastards. So stubborn are they that they refuse to abandon their dead god, ~~and thus potentially save themselves by embracing a~~ new patron.		'''Forsaken Elves''' are the cursed remnants of the High Elves; afflicted with a Titanic malady that renders impossible to produce children with other elves, ''any'' elves. Sure: Titanic curses were flying right-and-left in the War; but most races enjoyed Divine intervention, so could laugh most of it off. In the High Elves' case their patron deity was Jandaveos, slain in the battle against Chern. With most of their youngsters slain in that same battle, the Forsaken Elves are a dying race. With little else left, they cling to what they have left, mostly pride, giving them a reputation as arrogant, cynical, fatalistic bastards (and as enthusiastic spawners of half-elf bastards - read on). So stubborn are they that they refuse to abandon their dead god for a live one, which new patron might save them.

	In 2017, having acquired the rights when they took everything else from White Wolf, [[Onyx Path Publishing]] decided to create a "2nd edition" Scarred Lands setting, which they proceeded to release for both [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] and [[Pathfinder]] rulesets. As of October 2017, only two such books exist; the Player's Guide, and an updated version of "The Wise and the Wicked", a splatbook examining notable figures from Scarn. In 2019, Blood Sea: The Crimson Abyss was released, which told how to run a campaing in the Blood Sea and contained some player options. 2020 saw thge release of the updated Creature Collection. 2021 saw the release of two more physical splats; Vigil Watch, which explores and details certain locations within Ghelspad, and Yugman's Guide to Ghelspad, which gives more player options to play with. The Slarecian Vault also notably released Frostlands of Fenrilik, which examines the arctic region of the planet.

The Slarecian Vault also notably released Frostlands of Fenrilik, which examines the arctic region of the planet.

	An unusual decision made for this 2nd edition was to convert a number of Titanspawn races from mere antagonists to viable player races, via the addition to the setting of "The Redeemed". The races that've received this treatment so far are [[Asaatthi]], [[Hollow Legionnaire]]s, [[Manticora]]s, [[Slitherin]]s, [[Sutak]]s (calling themselves "Ironbred") and [[Orc]]s.

			===Noteworthy Cities===
			'''Mithril''' is a port city built around the wrecked remains of an enormous [[golem]] made out of [[mithril]] by worshippers of [[Corean]], leading to an ongoing culture clash between the inner city, devoted to the God of [[Paladin]]s and his allies, and the far more pragmatic and earthy outer city.

			'''Shelzar''' began its life as a place constructed by a sect that rejected the gods and the titans as both being unfit to worship and instead pursued personal enlightenment through contemplation and an embracing of earthly pleasures without blindly embracing excess, an act they saw more befitting of the titans and gods they spurned. Over centuries, it morphed and devolved into the single most hedonistic city on earth, where almost every vice is legal* and the patron gods are the god/dess of luck and the goddess of lust.
			* Well, you can fuck anyone you like, so long as they're willing, and do all the booze and drugs you like, but most Shelzari have ''standards''. Rape is punishable with castration and the ''really'' sick stuff is all hidden underground. The knife-fighting [[gladiator]] pits are relatively tame, but "skin dens" feature such ''charming'' displays as creatures being skinned alive, humanoids being burned to death, and humanoids being made to fuck animals and monsters, often resulting in their death.

			'''Hollowfaust''' is a city where [[necromancer]]s rule, having begun as a city wiped out by a volcanic explosion that an alliance of high level necromancers descended upon in hopes of having somewhere to get away from the rest of the world, only to inadvertently end up becoming a beacon for refugees from the Titanswar. Actually far less evil or creepy than you'd think; it's a blatant [[magocracy]] and anyone who insists that All Necromancers Must Die is told to go fuck themselves, but it's surprisingly non-corrupt and its denizens enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the known world, even if they do know their dead will be collected and used to create various [[skeleton]]-based [[undead]] and [[golem]] laborers and defenders.
