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

More a grotesque, open-air shipyard than a single building, this facility is where Serpentscale's terrifying vessels are constructed and repaired. Tiefling shipwrights, often bearing scaled skin and vestigial fins, don't just use timber and iron. They ritually incorporate the immense, calcified bones, hides, and sinews of colossal sea monsters, along with "blessed" (and cursed) human sacrifices, into the ship's very structure. This brutal practice is believed to make their pirate fleets faster, more resilient to the deep's wrath, and terrifyingly effective in maritime predation.

Appearance
