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 Human District is Discordia's grim, besieged mega-city sector, a sprawling expanse of cramped tenements and makeshift barricades reeking of desperation. Its purpose: a defiant bastion for its Human populace, clinging to survival through sheer brute force and unyielding vigilance. Life here is a constant grind, defined by queues and fear. You'll find gaunt citizens and harsh patrols amidst crude workshops and shadow-drenched markets for essentials. Threats are relentless: raids from Blight-Touched or Cunning-Paw districts seek resources. Localized starvation forces acts of cannibalism. Rampant gang warfare erupts among Human factions over dwindling supplies. Internal tyranny and corruption crush dissent. Reanimated corpses frequently infiltrate, used by unseen forces. Pervasive psychological decay gnaws at every soul. This district endures, a grim testament to human tenacity in endless, brutal urban conflict.

Appearance

The district is a sprawling maze of dilapidated buildings, shadowy markets, and harsh patrols, with gaunt citizens, crude workshops, and barricades marking the constant state of siege and desperation.
