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 Shifting Wharf is the chaotic, primary dock complex of The Churning Spire, its structures subtly shifting and reconfiguring overnight. This Kitsune-dominated hub is a testament to flux and desperate trade. You'll find Kitsune brokers, their forms blurring, haggling over goods from every corner of The Riven Lands, alongside despairing Humans and Cunning-Paws. The air is thick with the clamor of countless tongues and the stench of decay. Work involves processing human "waste" (flesh/bone), forcibly crafting new identities, or serving as a living commodity. You can find discarded body parts, grotesque processed goods, and whispers of lost souls. Its purpose: to serve as the ultimate market for raw resources, ensuring the endless churning of the Exchange.

Appearance

A sprawling dock area with warped wooden piers and shifting warehouses, filled with blurred forms of Kitsune haggling over grotesque processed goods and discarded body parts. The air is thick with whispers of lost souls and the scent of rot.
