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 damaged research facility serves as headquarters for The False Scholars, who prey on students and researchers through academic fraud. The gang creates counterfeit credentials, steals rare research materials, and operates protection rackets against struggling scholars. Broken equipment provides cover for meetings while they plan elaborate deception schemes involving fake academic societies. They target visiting researchers with confidence games and theft of valuable equipment. Multiple escape routes through ventilation systems provide security during raids while they coordinate their intellectual property theft operations.

Appearance

The laboratory is cluttered with broken scientific instruments, shattered glassware, and scattered papers. Faded academic posters and cracked chalkboards hint at its former scholarly purpose. Hidden vents and secret doors are integrated into the walls for quick escapes.
