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 Broken Scale is a grim, bustling tavern in The Churning Spire's lower levels, its air thick with the stench of debt and desperation. Kitsune brokers and desperate individuals haggle over prices. It functions as a de facto debt collection point and a market for desperate bargains, including human flesh. Jobs involve becoming indentured laborers for temporary debt relief or joining heavily armed collection crews. Services include brokering deals for body parts to clear debts, or hiring "debt collectors" who specialize in brutal enforcement and "repossession" of human lives. Their "famous" food is "Debt Stew," a thin, watery broth said to taste like ashes and regret, served in cracked bowls.

Appearance

Dimly lit with flickering lanterns, cracked wooden tables crowded with Kitsune brokers and desperate patrons. The air is thick with smoke and the smell of ash. Walls are stained and worn, with chains and ledgers hanging as grim decorations.
