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 Chamber of Shifting Allegiances is a notoriously unreliable temple within Shadow-Thread Port, its very layout subtly altering with each visit, doors appearing or vanishing. Dedicated to Risa, The Self-Serving, its purpose is the grim pursuit of opportunistic flux and the art of calculated betrayal. Here, Elf brokers and ambitious kin-leaders openly engage in rituals of oath-breaking and the forging of temporary, self-serving pacts. The air hums with hushed negotiations and the chilling anticipation of imminent betrayal. You'll find figures striking deals with one hand while discreetly signaling for an ambush with the other. The Chamber is filled with fluid symbols of shifting loyalties, and the pervasive atmosphere of distrust is almost suffocating. This is where alliances are formed only to be broken, and every promise is merely a step towards personal gain, a reflection of Risa’s volatile creed.

Appearance

The chamber is dimly lit with flickering shadows cast by ever-moving symbols of shifting loyalties on the walls. Figures clad in dark cloaks engage in hushed negotiations, some striking deals while signaling ambushes, surrounded by an atmosphere heavy with distrust and the scent of incense burned in secret rituals.
