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

Echo-Nexus is Veilwatch's disorienting capital, a city of constantly shifting architecture where Kitsune agents master espionage and identity manipulation. Its purpose is to control the flow of vital intelligence, shaping narratives, and leveraging secrets. Individuals are compelled through psychological conditioning and identity theft. Threats include targeted assassinations of influential figures by rival spy networks, localized outbreaks of madness from mind-rending phantasms, severe psychological breakdown among Kitsune from identity loss, cults forming around bizarre new identities within the city, and entities that feed on discarded personalities.

Appearance

The cityscape is a labyrinth of twisting streets and buildings that rearrange unpredictably, with shimmering facades and shadowy alleys where identities blur and secrets lurk in every corner.
