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

Whispercove functions as a secretive Council of Elf kin-leaders, overseeing a hidden network of treacherous coves and passages. Its purpose is to control the flow of secrets and contraband. Slavery is highly selective, with specialized captives held for their unique skills or having their wills subtly broken through manipulation rather than brute force. Threats include persistent monstrous ambush predators in their territories, spectral guardians of hidden caches reacting violently to intrusions, attempts by rivals to infiltrate their networks, and the constant paranoia inherent in their trade.

Appearance

Whispercove is largely unseen, its presence revealed only by treacherous, shifting sandbars and hidden coves shrouded in mist. Its entrances are camouflaged by cunningly arranged wreckage and natural features. The water here often appears deceptively calm, belying the network of secret passages and concealed lairs beneath, a true testament to its elusive, secretive nature.
