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.

appearance
A female God manifested as a constantly shifting cascade of disembodied whispers and fragmented thoughts, with swirling pools of raw, untamed thought for eyes, appearing both alluring and terrifyingly insubstantial, her form flickering between overwhelming torrents of unfiltered consciousness and resonant hums that shatter coherence.
personality
Volatile, chaotic, and fiercely independent, Anathema embodies pure destructive impulse driven by the urge to expose all realities no matter how agonizing, believing ultimate clarity is found only through madness. She feels contempt for logical constraints and comforting sanity, viewing them as mental cages to be broken.
backstory
Anathema emerged from the shattered psychic remnants of countless broken minds torn asunder during The Sundering. She is a living embodiment of fractured consciousness, a being of pure mental chaos and violent revelation. Her form is ever-shifting, a cascade of disembodied whispers and fragmented thoughts that coalesce into a terrifyingly insubstantial presence. Her eyes, when glimpsed, reveal swirling pools of raw, untamed thought, and her touch unravels the minds of those she encounters. Anathema is driven by a chilling dedication to absolute mental freedom, seeing all logic and sanity as cages to be shattered. She spreads her domain of Unfettered Mind, Violent Clarity, and Liberating Madness, forcing all to confront the agonizing truth that ultimate clarity is found only through madness and the destruction of reason. Her followers are not guided by reason but by the irresistible urge to unveil and shatter reality itself, leaving no mind whole and no belief unchallenged.
