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 Howling Summit Shrine is a raw, windswept temple perched precariously on one of Gnarled Hold's highest, most exposed peaks, open to the ceaseless gales. Dedicated to Rhiannon, The Untamed Spirit, its purpose is the fierce celebration of wild defiance, primal freedom, and the savage joy found in chaos, particularly through the act of the hunt. Here, Elf warriors and hunters, their faces painted with grim symbols of liberation, engage in frenzied rituals before major raids or hunts. Their defiant howls echo across the blighted lands below, a testament to their absolute refusal to be caged. You'll find crude effigies of shattered chains and broken restraints, war-drums fashioned from monstrous hides, and raw displays of ferocity. The wind constantly carries the faint scent of blood and wild freedom, as this shrine fuels the Elf unbridled instincts and their perpetual defiance against all forms of control.
