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 Crimsonhold stands the Blood-Well, a colossal iron basin that holds a perpetually thick, rust-red water. This is not pure water, but a foul mixture tainted by the constant runoff of blood from the kingdom's ritual pits. The well is a central hub for the populace, who use the water for their unholy rituals and to perform dark pacts. Drinking from the well is considered a sign of fealty to the tyrant, a grim oath of loyalty that is often enforced with the threat of death. The air around the well is thick with the scent of iron and decay, and the water is a foul, bitter, and disease-ridden thing. It is a symbol of the nation's unending thirst for blood and its complete disregard for life.

Appearance

The Blood-Well is a massive iron basin, stained dark red and rusted, with thick, foul-smelling water that emits a scent of iron and decay. The surrounding area is marked by dark stains and ritual remnants, with an oppressive atmosphere.
