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 Hall of Unveiled Sins is a grim, unadorned temple in Grimwatch, its high, echoing ceilings perpetually dim, as if light itself shies from its purpose. Dedicated to Kaelan, The Blighted Crown, its function is to serve as a merciless confessional and a chilling judicial center where all hidden transgressions are dragged into the light. Here, Human supplicants, driven by fear or a desperate need for their own form of brutal justice, are compelled to expose the sins of others or confess their own failings, for Kaelan accepts no hidden truth. The atmosphere is one of cold, absolute judgment, allowing no lie to stand, no act of disloyalty to go unpunished. You'll find trembling accusers, condemned individuals awaiting their inescapable fate, and cold-eyed priests, their faces hidden by iron veils, wielding instruments of truth like branding irons and whips. The Hall echoes with forced confessions and the cries of those receiving unmerciful retribution.

Appearance

The temple is stark and cold, with bare stone walls and iron fixtures. Priests wear iron veils and wield branding irons and whips. The air is heavy with forced confessions and cries of retribution, creating a chilling atmosphere of fear and justice.
