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

Malcoria is a chilling Dictatorship, ruled by a singular Tiefling master of flesh-crafting. Its purpose is to breed and control corrupted life, seeking dominance through foul experimentation. Slavery is central, with captives serving as living materials, unwilling subjects for horrifying grafts, or forced into painful transformations. Threats include their own creations turning rogue and inflicting widespread havoc, the constant risk of the blight they cultivate becoming uncontrollable, widespread disease and corruption manifesting as decaying undead forms drawn to their lands, and external forces seeking to eradicate their vile practices through bloody sieges.

Appearance

Malcoria is a grotesque, living landscape. Its very "architecture" is distorted and organic, with structures appearing to pulse or ooze with unnatural fluids. Flesh-like growths adhere to its surfaces, and unnatural mutations dot its territory. The colors are sickeningly mottled, a testament to vile flesh-crafting. A pervasive, sweet-sickly stench hangs heavily in the putrid air.
