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

Mist-Maw Haven is a deceptively serene fishing town built on stilts over the murky, illusion-prone waters of Shadowfen, perpetually cloaked in a thin, shifting fog. Its purpose is to harvest the unique, often monstrous, aquatic life thriving in the blighted mire. The town's dock, The Glimmering Marsh, seems to subtly shift beneath one's feet, its outlines blurring as if caught in a heat haze. Here, Elf fishers, their movements fluid and elusive, employ intricate, illusory nets that ensnare their prey without detection. You'll find strange, pulsating fish hauled ashore, alongside the hushed dealings of Elf brokers trading in unique toxins. Threats include powerful swamp monsters emerging directly beneath homes, illusions causing mass panic among the populace, pervasive swamp-borne illnesses, and unseen entities that lure individuals into the mire, making them vanish without a trace.

Appearance

Built on wooden stilts above dark, foggy waters, with shifting docks that blur like a heat haze. The town is cloaked in thin mist, with pulsating strange fish hauled ashore and shadowy figures moving fluidly among the docks.
