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 Sanctum of Eroding Truths is a hauntingly subtle temple within Shadow-Thread Port, its chambers perpetually shrouded in a fine, shifting mist that seems to subtly distort all perception and absorb sound. Dedicated to Kyra, The Whispering Sands, its purpose is the glorification of subtle erosion and the cultivation of deceptive flux. Here, Elf illusionists and information architects conduct chilling rituals involving the manipulation of perception, the careful cultivation of misinformation, and the slow erasure of inconvenient truths. The air carries the faint, abrasive scent of dust and fading memories. You'll find chambers filled with swirling mist, sand-filled basins used for scrying subtle truths from echoes, and delicate instruments for forging "disappearances" of individuals or evidence. This temple is a testament to the power of unseen influence, where truth is a malleable substance, and reality itself can be ground to dust.
