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

A melancholic town on the edge of Sylvanspire's misty forests, serving as a grim outpost for harvesting ancient, blighted magical timber. The town is marked by sorrowful laborers overseen by Shadar-kai, exporting carved timber and dark resin while facing threats from forest spirits, shadow creatures, and psychological decay.

Appearance

The town is shrouded in perpetual grey mist, with damp, groaning wooden docks called The Whispering Jetty. Buildings are weathered and somber, surrounded by towering, blighted trees with twisted branches, and the river flows sluggishly into a grey, silent sea.
