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

Mirror-Gate Pass is a small, seemingly unremarkable town on Veilwatch's fringes, its buildings blending with the desolate landscape. Its purpose: a covert entry point and silent information relay for Kitsune agents. The town's small river landing is unobtrusive, disappearing once passed. You'll find ordinary Human and Cunning-Paw residents alongside disguised Kitsune operatives. The air holds pervasive surveillance. Threats include sporadic incursions by scavengers, localized psychological breakdowns from subtle manipulation, unexplained disappearances for those too close to truth, and internal suspicion bred by constant surveillance.

Appearance

Buildings are plain and weathered, constructed from muted stone and wood that match the barren surroundings; the river landing is narrow and quickly obscured by mist and terrain, with watchful eyes subtly embedded in the town's architecture and residents' behavior.
