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

A grim, open-air court on a perpetually wave-lashed dock in a small pirate haven. Its purpose is to enforce the brutal laws of piracy with swift, final judgment. Here, local Tiefling pirate captains convene, their arguments often punctuated by the violent crash of waves. Work involves judging cases of mutiny, desertion, and unauthorized smuggling, with a jury of their peers. The sentences are mercilessly enforced on-site: from forced servitude aboard cursed, plague-ridden ships, to the dreaded "Kraken's Embrace"—a ritual execution where victims are bound to a float and cast offshore for the colossal, unseen horrors of the deep. Justice is a spectacle of power, a chilling testament to the unforgiving laws of piracy.

Appearance

A grim dockside court battered by relentless waves, with weathered wooden platforms and chains. Pirate captains in dark, sea-worn attire argue fiercely as the sea crashes around them. Nearby, cursed ships and a float for executions loom ominously.
