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

Flesh-Warp Warren is Malcoria's abhorrent core, a city of constantly shifting, organic architecture where the Tiefling relentlessly pursue unnatural growth and bio-engineering. Its purpose is to breed and control corrupted life, weaponizing plagues and engineered abominations. Countless lives serve as living materials and unwilling subjects. Threats include monstrous creations turning rogue within twisting districts, localized outbreaks of engineered plagues sickening the populace, decaying undead rising from mass graves within city limits, citizens suffering agonizing, spontaneous mutations daily, and gangs of twisted individuals preying on the weak in dark alleys.

Appearance

The cityscape is a writhing mass of pulsating flesh walls, sinewy towers, and oozing streets, constantly reshaping as if alive, with sickly bioluminescent growths casting eerie glows over the twisted, malformed inhabitants.
