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

Whisper-Knot serves as the central node of Echoes of Entrapment's vast information network, a labyrinthine city woven from hardened silk and shadow. Its purpose is comprehensive intelligence gathering, meticulous surveillance, and silent infiltration training for Still-Hunter operatives. Threats include infiltration by rival agents leading to sudden, bloody betrayals within the city's hidden passages. Localized information warfare, where manipulated rumors and false intel cause mass panic, is constant. Psychic backlash from overloaded data processing leaves some Still-Hunters in catatonic states. Operatives frequently succumb to extreme paranoia, and missing individuals vanish without a trace from the city's intricate web.

Appearance

The cityscape is a twisting labyrinth of dark, glossy silk structures interwoven with shadowy alleys and hidden passages, illuminated by faint, eerie glows from psychic data nodes scattered throughout. The atmosphere is tense and oppressive, with an ever-present sense of watchfulness and unseen eyes tracking every movement.
