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 massive hollow trunk serves as headquarters for The Leaf Cutters, who traffic in forbidden knowledge and cursed texts. Gang members steal and trade blasphemous manuscripts, heretical research, and banned magical treatises while operating underground libraries for dark scholars. The organic chambers provide ritual spaces while they coordinate schemes involving necromantic research and demon summoning guides. They sell dangerous knowledge to cultists and mad wizards seeking power through forbidden arts. The living tree's camouflage makes the hideout invisible while they systematically raid Bark Biter territories, stealing their forged credentials to legitimize access to restricted archives and ancient vaults.

Appearance

The exterior is a colossal living tree with thick bark and dense foliage that camouflages the entrance. Inside, the hollow trunk contains dimly lit chambers filled with ancient tomes, ritual circles, and secret alcoves for trading and studying blasphemous manuscripts.
