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 raised stone platform in the town center serves as the primary trading post for war captives and conquered peoples. Heavy iron rings embedded in the platform secure chains during inspections. Red-stained steps lead up to the viewing area where potential buyers examine the merchandise. Guard towers at each corner overlook the proceedings with crossbows ready. A large bell signals the start and end of trading sessions. Wooden cages line the perimeter for temporary holding. The platform is scrubbed daily but bloodstains have seeped permanently into the stone, giving it its crimson appearance.

Appearance

The platform is crimson from permanent bloodstains, surrounded by wooden cages and guarded by towers with crossbows. A large bell signals trading sessions.
