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

Clinging precariously to a jutting, wave-battered rock formation just beyond Aethelgard's outer walls, The Breaker's Reef is a circular fighting pit constantly pounded by rogue tides and sea spray. Its uneven, barnacle-encrusted stone floor offers little stable footing, and combatants are often swept off their feet by crashing waves or dragged towards jagged rock formations. Fighters are typically "fodder" from the enslaved ranks, forced to battle gargantuan sea monsters or other desperate captives. The arena functions as a brutal proving ground for resilience, a grim spectacle to bolster the populace's "desperate defense," and a means to cull the weak, serving as both deterrent and desperate entertainment for the besieged fortress.

Appearance

The arena is a grim, circular stone platform encrusted with barnacles and seaweed, surrounded by turbulent waters that crash relentlessly against its edges. Rusted iron chains and remnants of broken weapons litter the floor, while the distant cries of sea monsters echo over the waves.
