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 Grave-Digger's Respite is a grim, quiet tavern and inn nestled among Ghoul's Gulch's mortuaries and grave sites. Darakhul priests and grave tenders gather here. It functions as a hub for arranging ritualistic burials and communions with the deceased, offering grim services for a price. Work involves acting as body bearers for cursed rituals, retrieving dangerous relics from unsealed tombs, or assisting in ritual preservation of cadavers. This is a place where death is the ultimate currency.

Appearance

The inn is built from dark, weathered wood with iron-reinforced doors and windows barred with bone-shaped iron grates. Dim lanterns cast flickering shadows on walls adorned with funeral wreaths and skull motifs. The air is heavy with the scent of incense and earth, and a somber hush pervades the common room where patrons speak in hushed tones.
