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 Well is a unique, ancient ritual well and shrine located beneath Mourn-Spire, its black waters unnaturally still yet covered in an iridescent, oily sheen. Its unique function is to serve as a nexus for profound spiritual and biological communion. Here, Grave Whispers priests mix pulverized bone-dust of disgraced ancestors with the Well's foul water, while Blight-Touched alchemists introduce potent, cultivated blights. Drinking from it allows the condemned or desperate to glimpse terrifying truths from both the dead and the pervasive decay, often inducing temporary madness, chronic nightmares, or agonizing minor physical mutations, binding them closer to the Dominion's dual nature of horror.

Appearance

A deep, circular stone well with iridescent, oily black water that remains unnaturally still, surrounded by ancient carvings and ritual remnants beneath the dark spire.
