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

Mire-Whisper City is Shadowfen's elusive core, a settlement cloaked in perpetual mist and built upon treacherous wetlands. Ruled by Elf elders skilled in illusion, its purpose is to create a labyrinth of false trails and hidden lairs. Victims are lured into endless, disorienting toil. Threats include swamp-borne plagues sickening the populace, illusions causing mass panic and disorientation among citizens, psychological erosion from constant unreality affecting sanity, unseen entities luring citizens into the mire, and rival illusionists battling for control of perception within specific city sectors.

Appearance

The city is enveloped in thick, swirling mist with wooden walkways and rickety bridges weaving over murky waters and dense reeds. Flickering, ghostly lights and shifting shadows create an ever-changing maze, while faint whispers and eerie illusions distort reality, making navigation and trust difficult.
