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 Cunning Domain is a labyrinthine district within Discordia's Contested Sprawl, its winding alleys and hidden rooftops a testament to elusive survival. Dominated by Cunning-Paws, its purpose is ruthless self-preservation through opportunistic raids and intricate information brokering. Here, swift figures move through shadows, their eyes constantly darting for vulnerabilities. constant skirmishes with Human or Blight-Touched gangs over territory. Shifterkin infiltration seeks to steal information or identities. Grave Whispers might manipulate their dead against them from adjacent sectors, or Gloom-Striders observe from hidden alcoves, their melancholic presence subtly draining resolve. Intense internal paranoia among kin-bands leads to swift, silent betrayals. This Domain thrives on chaos, its very existence a knife-edge dance of cunning and cruelty, where every shadow conceals a hidden agenda.

Appearance

Narrow, winding alleys and hidden rooftops form a tangled web of shadows. The district is dimly lit with flickering lanterns, graffiti marks secret paths, and silent figures dart between buildings, eyes sharp for any sign of weakness or threat.
