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 Tribunal of Veiled Truths is False-Light Enclave's chillingly deceptive court, its proceedings held in chambers where light and sound subtly distort, and shadows twist with unseen intent. Its purpose is to enforce the Shifterkin network's control by judging threats to their illusions and all forms of unauthorized truth-seeking. Crimes such as questioning perceived realities, unauthorized identity shifts, or attempting to expose hidden network members condemn one to forced servitude: psychological conditioning, becoming an unwilling, living disinformation agent, their memories endlessly overwritten. Deliberately shattering a major city-wide illusion, or revealing core network secrets, leads to execution: "The Consuming Revelation" – the condemned is ritually bound, and through a combined Shifterkin illusion and Cunning-Paw psychic probe, they are forced to fully perceive the enforced cannibalism of the populace and the true depravity of the ruling network.

Appearance

Chambers bathed in shifting, eerie false light with warped acoustics; shadows move unnaturally, hinting at hidden watchers. The central judgment seat is surrounded by arcane sigils and psychic conduits used in the ritual punishments.
