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 Viscera-Apothecary is a specialized shop in Bloodcleft's shadowed backstreets, its facade unremarkable, yet a cloying, metallic scent perpetually clings to its entrance. Its purpose is the dark alchemy of suffering: here, potent, highly addictive drugs and elixirs are distilled from the blood, organs, and pulverized bone of ritual sacrifices performed in the Gorefang Spire. These horrific concoctions are sold to Bloodcleft's Human nobility and the dictator's elite guards, used to enhance their cruelty, dull their consciences, or induce terrifying, blood-soaked visions.

Appearance

A nondescript, grimy facade with faint bloodstains near the entrance. Inside, shelves hold dark vials and jars filled with ominous red and black liquids, bones, and organs in various states of preservation. The air is thick with a metallic, coppery scent and a faint hum of dark magic.
