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 Bloodied Decree is Crimsonhold's swift, terrifying instrument of its dictator's will. It crushes dissent and solidifies terror from the Gorefang Spire. Acts of defiance, speaking against the dictator, or failing tribute quotas condemn one to forced servitude: grueling service in legions of broken wills or forced toil in blood-soaked pits. Assassination attempts or open rebellion earn execution: "The Spire of Agony" – impalement on the highest, sharpest point of the Gorefang Spire, left to bleed and scream as a permanent, visible warning to all below.

Appearance

A towering, blood-streaked spire of jagged black stone, stained with the blood of the executed. The highest point is crowned with cruel spikes where victims are displayed. Below, grim legions toil in shadowed pits and grim barracks.
