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 Balance of Debt is The Endless Exchange's commerce court, held within the Exchange Zenith, enforcing contracts and judging fraud among Kitsune factions. Fraudulent trade, defaulting on contracts, or unauthorized information trading lead to forced servitude: perpetual labor in the lowest levels of the Spire, their bodies ritualistically marked, or compelled to trade body parts to repay. Stealing from the central vault or manipulating information to collapse the market earns execution: "The Exchange's Due" – public flaying, then hung by hooks, body systematically dismembered and traded as "prime cuts" to repay debts.

Appearance

A grand, imposing chamber filled with towering ledgers and arcane contract seals, surrounded by shadowy enforcers and marked prisoners awaiting judgment. The walls are inscribed with shifting runes symbolizing balance and debt.
