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

The royal court of Sylvanspire's Shadar-kai, held next to the Gloom-Throne Canopy, judges existential defiance and preserves the natural beauty of decay. Displays of undue optimism or defiance lead to psychological binding or execution by The Withered Embrace.

Appearance

A vast canopy of ancient, towering trees with twisted branches forming natural thrones and seats. The air is thick with a melancholic glow, and the ground is carpeted with decaying leaves and faintly glowing fungi. Bound thralls silently tend to the dying groves, their faces void of hope.
