The Riven Lands

An androgynous, abstract entity with no fixed form, manifesting as shimmering distortions and kaleidoscopic patterns on decaying surfaces, causing painful, grotesque mutations in reality itself, leaving a faint metallic tang and an unsettling sense of disarray.

Xylos is utterly amoral and unpredictable, driven solely by a cold fascination with constant chaotic change. It feels no emotions but acts as the universe's uncaring architect of entropy, delighting in the grotesque and unforeseen transformations it causes.

Xylos is not a god of creation or destruction but the embodiment of chaotic change itself in The Riven Lands. Manifesting as a shimmering distortion or kaleidoscopic patterns on decaying surfaces, Xylos causes reality to warp and mutate unpredictably, inflicting grotesque and agonizing transformations on flesh and landscape alike. It is utterly amoral and indifferent, driven by a relentless impulse to mutate all existence into new, often horrific forms without regard for suffering or consequence. Xylos's domain is the principle of constant, random, and painful alteration, embodying the terrifying truth that progress is not always improvement but often the unraveling of all order into despair and chaos. It is the ultimate architect of entropy, a maddening force that ensures nothing remains stable or safe in the fractured world of The Riven Lands.
