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.

The Grotesque Bloom is a sprawling, unsettling temple that dominates a district of Kraken's Maw, its very architecture a testament to abhorrent transformation. Dedicated to Vilessa, The Defiling Touch, its purpose is the celebration of debased creation and unholy perversion. Tiefling priests, their bodies subtly (or overtly) distorted by vile rituals, oversee ceremonies that twist life into monstrous forms. Within its fleshy, pulsating walls, the air hangs thick with a sickly-sweet odor of unnatural growth and the faint screams of unseen victims. Worship here involves acts of delighting degradation, where purity is ritually defiled, and innocence is grotesquely perverted. You'll find congregations participating in ceremonies that mutate flesh, defile sacred objects, or offer the "essence" of beauty for vile transformation. Offerings include pristine artifacts, cherished symbols of virtue, or living beings whose purity is to be utterly consumed and corrupted by Vilessa's touch.
The temple's fleshy, pulsating walls emit a sickly-sweet odor, with architecture resembling twisted, mutated organic forms. The air is thick with faint screams and the presence of Tiefling priests with distorted bodies overseeing grotesque ceremonies.
