No one knows exactly where each soul shard is located, but regions overrun with abberations and supercharged essentia indicate that a shard is nearby. When Kudamat locates a soul shard and begins siphoning power from it, the ground around it quakes with a single, powerful tremor, and the vein of essentia supercharged by his power glows brightly, day and night. This helps the locals pinpoint the soul shard’s location with more accuracy, so to prevent it from being found, Kudamat simultaneously creates a sentinel: a Colossus who stalks and guards that entire region.
