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

Kraken's Maw is Serpentscale's sprawling pirate capital, a coastal haven built into treacherous cliffs. This Blight-Touched-led city thrives on piracy and debased pacts. Unfortunate individuals are used as forced crews and human shields. Threats include fierce mutinies among brutalized pirate crews, sea monsters attacking harbor defenses directly, drowned spirits haunting specific docks and ships, widespread drug addiction among weary sailors seeking escape from their grim reality, and smuggling of cursed artifacts leading to localized hauntings or madness in specific districts.

Appearance

The city clings to dark, treacherous cliffs with ramshackle docks jutting into stormy seas. Weathered wooden buildings and pirate ships crowd narrow alleys, while eerie greenish fog and spectral lights haunt the harbor at night.
