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 Gaping Maw Spire is the chilling, central edifice of Bile-Reef Anchorage, a colossal structure built from fused, salvaged ship-metal and monstrous bones, perpetually dripping with briny, foul water. Its upper levels house the ruling alliance's stronghold, serving as a primary ritual site for dark pacts with unseen horrors of the deep, and the command center for pirate fleets. Threats include assassination attempts by rival pirate lords seeking to claim control of the Spire, demonic incursions from failed pacts manifesting directly within its chambers, psychological unravelling among leaders from excessive communion with abyssal entities, and Shifterkin infiltration disrupting vital communications and command structures from within.

Appearance

The Spire looms like a jagged maw, its exterior a grotesque fusion of rusted ship hulls and massive bones, with water perpetually dripping and pooling around its base, emitting a rank sea stench.
