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

The Sundered Nexus is Discordia's chaotic, ever-shifting urban heart, a city less built and more endlessly fought over. It's a perpetual battleground where all ten races are locked in brutal, internecine conflict. Its purpose is simply continued existence through savagery. Individuals are ruthlessly used for backbreaking labor or as cannon fodder. Threats abound: constant street skirmishes between racial gangs, targeted assassinations of faction leaders, abominations specifically adapted to urban ruins, resource blockades causing starvation in districts, reanimated corpses used as street combatants, and psychological warfare driving citizens to madness through illusions and fear.

Appearance

A shattered urban sprawl of crumbling buildings, twisted metal, and barricaded streets, lit by flickering fires and eerie, shifting illusions. The air is thick with smoke, tension, and the distant sounds of skirmishes and screams.
