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 hidden basement library serves as headquarters for The Ink Devils, who compete with the False Scholars through superior forgery skills and academic connections. Gang members include corrupt scholars who create more convincing counterfeit documents and maintain insider knowledge of valuable research. Ancient bookshelves hide stolen manuscripts while alchemical equipment produces perfect ink matches for forgeries. They target the same academic victims as their rivals, offering better quality fake credentials while sabotaging False Scholar operations. Secret passages connect to legitimate academic buildings while they coordinate systematic attacks against their competitors.

Appearance

Dimly lit with ancient bookshelves lining the walls, cluttered alchemical equipment for ink production, scattered forged documents, and concealed doors leading to secret passages. The air smells of old parchment and ink.
