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 Court of Shifting Truths, Shadowfen's theocratic court in the Veiled Sanctum, judges perceived honesty and enforces illusionary law. Questioning illusions, seeking forbidden truths, or attempting to reveal hidden realities lead to forced servitude: endless, disorienting toil within the fens, their minds slowly breaking under perpetual sensory distortion. Deliberately shattering a major city-wide illusion or leading a revolt earns execution: "The Endless Mirage" – condemned to be trapped within a perpetual, personalized illusion of unending torment, their physical body left to slowly rot while their mind endures an eternal, horrifying dream.

Appearance

A grand, shadowy hall veiled in shimmering illusions, with ever-changing walls and floors that distort perception, lit by eerie, flickering lanterns casting ambiguous shadows.
