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

Luminis Blight is Vesperia's chilling capital, a city of unsettling, decaying grandeur where Tiefling nobility delve into forbidden arcane experiments. Its purpose is the pursuit of ultimate power through twisted creation and controlled corruption. Unwilling subjects are frequently used for horrifying flesh-sculpting rituals and perverse pleasures. Threats include uncontrolled magical experiments consuming city blocks in bursts of raw power, fiendish manifestations appearing in private chambers, madness spreading through specific sectors as minds unravel, grotesque cults dedicated to self-mutilation flourishing in hidden corners, and mutated creatures escaping labs into city streets.

Appearance

The cityscape is a haunting blend of crumbling gothic architecture and arcane machinery, with flickering eerie lights casting long shadows over cracked streets stained with strange alchemical residues. Towering spires and dilapidated mansions loom over narrow alleys where twisted statues and arcane symbols hint at the dark experiments within.
