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

Corpus Spire is the grim capital of The Charnel Choir, a chilling city of transformed flesh and bone. Its purpose is to serve as the heart of ritualistic transformation and the propagation of their blight doctrines. Threats include uncontrolled mutations within city districts, where transformations go horrifically awry, creating new abominations. Localized outbreaks of engineered plagues sicken the populace, and cannibalistic cults secretly form, preying on the weak. Mutated fauna infesting the city's vast sewer systems pose a constant danger, while internal purges by high priests against perceived impurities frequently consume citizens in agonizing displays of ritualistic torment.

Appearance

The cityscape is a grotesque blend of twisted flesh and bone structures, with pulsating walls and sinewy bridges. Dark, foggy streets are lined with shrieking statues and blood-stained altars, while the sewers teem with monstrous mutated creatures lurking in the shadows.
