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

In the heart of Vesperia stands the Unholy Siphon, a spiraling bronze fountain of twisted, serpentine shapes. A thick, purplish water flows from its grotesque mouths into a central basin. This water is a foul mixture of polluted runoff and the effluvia from the Tiefling priesthood's dark rituals. While drinking it is a sign of devotion, it's also a mind-altering experience, a constant reminder of the city's depravity. Those who drink from the Unholy Siphon are said to gain prophetic visions, but at the cost of their sanity.

Appearance

The fountain is made of bronze, shaped like entwined serpents with grotesque mouths spewing thick, purplish water. The basin is stained and emits a faint, eerie glow, surrounded by dark runes etched into the stone floor.
