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 huge, swirling mass of shadow and raw spiritual energy, vaguely humanoid in shape but constantly shifting and reforming. Its presence causes nearby flames to dim and the air to grow cold, emitting a silent, mind-rending scream only the sensitive can perceive.
