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 living tree structure with hollow chambers serves as the trading venue for knowledge specialists and scholarly assistants. The organic architecture grows and adapts to accommodate different trading needs and seasonal variations. Workers demonstrate literacy, memory skills, and knowledge of ancient texts through academic examinations. The venue's integration with the forest's wisdom-preserving mission ensures that only appropriate buyers gain access to educated workers. Luminescent fungi provide natural lighting that highlights the scholarly nature of the commercial activities. The living building itself seems to approve or disapprove of potential transactions.

Appearance

The structure is a massive, ancient tree with glowing luminescent fungi lighting the hollow chambers. The organic architecture shifts subtly, with branches and roots rearranging to create new spaces. Workers, skilled in literacy and ancient texts, conduct academic examinations to ensure only worthy buyers access the knowledge.
