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 Tide's Verdict is Kraken's Maw's pirate court, held in the Siren's Roost, judging mutiny, cowardice, and smuggling infringements. Crimes like mutiny, desertion during a raid, or unauthorized smuggling lead to forced servitude: treacherous service aboard eternally cursed ships or as expendable divers for salvage in monster-infested waters. Pirating against ruling admirals or betraying sea pacts earns execution: "Kraken's Embrace" – bound to a bait-laden float, cast far offshore, to be slowly drawn down and consumed by the colossal, unseen horrors of the deep.

Appearance

The Siren's Roost is a weather-beaten, cliffside outpost with a large wooden platform overlooking the turbulent sea, adorned with nautical trophies and symbols of the Kraken. The court is surrounded by the sounds of crashing waves and distant sea monster calls.
