sundered
Broken in two
Sundered means broken apart or severed, typically describing something that was once whole or connected.
The word is literary and old-fashioned, appearing most often in fantasy literature and formal writing: The kingdom was sundered by civil war, sundered from his homeland.
It suggests a more violent or complete separation than merely divided.
