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 Devouring Crucible is a colossal, perpetually roaring temple in The Churning Spire's lowest, most active levels, vibrating with immense power. Dedicated to K'tharr, The Endless Maw, its purpose is the raw glorification of primal consumption and the brutal, unyielding drive for survival. Here, Kitsune brokers and alchemists oversee vile rituals of acquisition, where vast quantities of goods—and often unfortunate Kitsune deemed "surplus"—are fed into unseen mechanisms. The air is thick with grinding gears, decay's stench, and pervasive hunger's metallic tang. You'll find immense pits where "waste" is consumed, its essence repurposed. Work involves processing raw, often living, materials into grim consumables, overseeing brutal "collections" of Kitsune deemed "collateral," or refining rendered biological matter for illicit trade. This Crucible is a testament to the brutal truth that all life is fuel, consumed and ground down for K'tharr's unending hunger.

Appearance

The temple is filled with grinding gears, immense pits for consuming waste, and areas where Kitsune oversee vile rituals. The air is thick with decay's stench and a metallic tang of hunger, with dark, grimy machinery and biological matter processing stations.
