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 Whispering Bindings is Shadow-Thread Port's intelligence court, held within the Loom-Vault of Whispers, judging betrayal of secrets and information leaks. Leaking information, unauthorized sharing of secrets, or attempting to leave the network lead to forced servitude: psychological conditioning, becoming unwilling, living information relays, or living an existence of erased identity. Betraying network secrets to rivals or assassinating a council member earns execution: "The Silence of the Self" – confined to a sensory deprivation chamber, their mind is systematically erased by conflicting whispers until only an empty, mindless cipher remains.

Appearance

A dimly lit, labyrinthine chamber lined with shadowy tapestries that seem to murmur faintly. The walls are adorned with intricate, thread-like carvings symbolizing the network of secrets, and a central dais holds the council's seats, shrouded in veils of shadow and whispering voices.
