Grimdark
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 Merman's Bargain is a clandestine market hidden deep within Kraken's Maw's reeking harbors, accessible only by tide-worn caves. Its purpose is to broker impossible deals: here, desperate Humans and Tiefling sailors trade years of their lifespan, fragments of their very souls, or the lives of their kin to unseen, ancient sea entities. In return, they gain guaranteed, albeit temporary and often ironically twisted, safe passage through monster-infested waters or bountiful, cursed hauls from the deep.
Appearance
Dimly lit by bioluminescent algae and flickering lanterns, the market is filled with shadowy stalls made from driftwood and barnacle-encrusted bones, with eerie whispers echoing off the damp cave walls.
