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 Veiled Sanctum is Shadowfen's mystical core, serving as the high priests' residence and center for their illusion rituals. Its function is to project deceptive guidance and maintain the city's camouflage. Threats include illusions causing mass panic within the Sanctum's very walls, localized swamp-borne illnesses sickening the clergy, pervasive psychological erosion from constant unreality leading to madness among its inhabitants, and unseen entities that subtly manipulate the illusion patterns, luring priests into the Mire.

Appearance

A sprawling temple complex shrouded in shifting illusions, with ethereal veils and shadowy forms that blur the line between reality and deception, surrounded by dense, misty swamp.
