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

Stone chambers trap both body and soul through spiritual binding rituals, making escape impossible even through madness. Living workers witness ghostly versions of themselves, seeing their inevitable future. Workers are taken daily for grave tending, memorial maintenance, and death-related duties while knowing death won't bring them release. Constant spirits create atmosphere where hope dies completely. Pain extends beyond physical into spiritual realms. The knowledge that their suffering will continue eternally makes every work assignment feel meaningless.

Appearance

Ancient stone chambers with ethereal chains glowing faintly, ghostly apparitions flickering in the shadows, and an oppressive atmosphere of despair and spiritual torment.
