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

A sprawling, labyrinthine complex of repurposed tenements and hidden passages. The Quarantined Persona is a terrifying infirmary for those afflicted with a blight that causes rapid, involuntary identity fragmentation. Work here involves a relentless effort to keep the afflicted from fully shedding their original personas. Kitsune overseers use mind-numbing herbs and illusions to keep the sick docile. The threat is not just the sickness but the psychic entities it attracts: "mind-rending phantasms" drawn to unstable identities, preying on the sick and slowly erasing their sense of self. It is a place of profound psychological horror, where identity is a commodity to be exploited and sold.

Appearance

A maze of dilapidated tenements connected by hidden passages, dimly lit with flickering lanterns and filled with eerie whispers. The walls are lined with faded, peeling posters warning of the blight, and the air is thick with the scent of herbs and a faint, unsettling hum of psychic energy.
