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 Gallery of Veiled Selves is a disorienting, unsettling museum-like building in False-Light Enclave, its chambers filled with lifelike, unmoving figures crafted from wax, flesh, or illusion. Its unique function is to serve as a chilling archive of stolen identities and created personas, meticulously cataloged by Shifterkin agents. Some figures represent past victims whose identities were consumed, others fabricated personas used for infiltration by Shifterkin operatives, all imbued with a lingering, unsettling presence. The Gallery often induces profound existential dread in visitors, leaving them questioning their own reality and identity, a permanent reminder of the power of deception that underpins the entire country.

Appearance

The building is labyrinthine with dim, flickering lights casting eerie shadows on the unnervingly lifelike figures. Each chamber is silent except for the faint whispers of lost identities, with walls lined by portraits that seem to watch visitors.
