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

A colossal mountain stronghold ruled by the Crag-Born, controlling vital passes and resources with unyielding force. Slavery is harsh and rare, reserved for the strongest captives forced into brutal labor or expendable roles. The ruling Crag-Born's slow decay threatens internal stability, while external threats include subterranean Deep-Crawlers, desperate human incursions, elemental monsters, ancient ghouls, and dangerous slave revolts.

Appearance

Massive, jagged stone peaks loom over narrow mountain passes, with colossal statues and fortifications carved directly from the rock. The landscape is harsh and barren, marked by immense rockslides, deep tunnels, and scattered remnants of failed revolts, all under the oppressive shadow of the towering Crag-Born tyrant.
