The Riven Lands

I
Ithikari

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.

Description

A squat, reinforced structure of gnarled trees and thorns camouflaged in a treacherous forest, serving as the brutal heart of the Elven populace where Madness Berries are cultivated to break war captives' minds. Death-Veil Fungus grows on the bones of the dead, feeding on the silence of the mist-shrouded forest, making the work here lethal and unforgiving with a thin line between hunter and prey.

Appearance

The sanctuary is a dense thicket of twisted, thorn-covered trees forming natural walls, with dark, misty air hanging low. Vines heavy with glowing Madness Berries weave through the branches, while pale, ghostly Death-Veil Fungus creeps over scattered bones, creating an eerie, oppressive atmosphere.
