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

Veilwatch operates as a chillingly deceptive Rigged Democracy, its Kitsune populace maintaining an illusion of choice while subtly manipulating events through espionage and identity theft. Slavery is pervasive, often through psychological conditioning or identity theft, turning victims into unaware pawns or debased informants. Threats include relentless counter-espionage, insidious mind-rending phantasms that prey on unstable identities, the psychological toll of never trusting anyone, and entities that feed on discarded personalities, pushing Kitsune to identity loss.

Appearance

Veilwatch's appearance is unsettlingly generic and subtly inconsistent. Its architecture is constantly, subtly shifting in style or detail, creating an atmosphere of impermanence and unreliability. Building facades may seem familiar one day and slightly different the next, reflecting the blurred lines of identity and truth that define its Kitsune populace.
