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

Shifting-Bay Market is a fluid, ephemeral market hub materializing along Whispercove's hidden coastlines, managed by Elven brokers. Its purpose: facilitate untraceable, illicit trade in information and contraband. The market's temporary coves are shrouded in mist. You'll find hushed exchanges over forged documents, whispers of blackmail, and glinting concealed blades. Work involves brokering deals for stolen secrets, acquiring potent poisons, or arranging discreet disappearances. Threats include sudden raids by rival syndicates, unpredictable tides trapping vessels, and overwhelming paranoia making every face a potential betrayer in this ephemeral market.

Appearance

The market manifests as a series of mist-shrouded coves with makeshift stalls and shadowy figures exchanging goods and information under dim lantern light, with the sea's unpredictable tides shaping its layout and accessibility.
