The Riven Lands are a fractured realm born from a magical event, The Sundering which violently pulled people from countless realities into a bleeding scar across existence. Magic here is a vile, twisting curse, its power warping flesh and mind. Its inhabitants, xenophobic and without loyalty, cling to life amidst decaying lands, endless wars, and horrifying Gods that everyone worships in some form. Hope is a lie; only brutal struggle remains in this world drowned in cynicism and sheer cruelty.

Gnarled Hold is Thornwood's fortified heart, a grim city deep within the Archipelago's most treacherous forests, its crude structures blending into the oppressive canopy. This Elf stronghold survives through constant ambush and evasion. Captured individuals are used for hunting, tracking, or as expendable scouts. Threats include monsters breaching crude city defenses from the forest, internal feuds over dwindling hunting spoils, ancient trees possessing individuals who stray from central paths, undead rising from shallow graves within the Hold's perimeter, and organized banditry preying on inner districts.
The city blends into the oppressive forest canopy with gnarled wooden structures and crude fortifications, surrounded by dense, twisted trees and shallow graves. The atmosphere is dark and foreboding, with signs of constant vigilance and decay.
