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

In the chilling dictatorship of Malcoria, the primary entertainment is found within The Gallery of Grafted Forms. This is a sprawling, bio-luminescent museum where the Archon's most "horrifying grafts" and "painful transformations" are put on permanent, living display. Captives, often still alive but irrevocably altered, are meticulously posed in disturbing dioramas, showcasing the ultimate mastery of corrupted flesh. It functions as both a horrifying art exhibit and a constant, public demonstration of Malcoria's power and expertise in "breeding and controlling corrupted life," inspiring both terror and macabre awe in its Tiefling populace.

Appearance

The gallery glows with eerie bio-luminescent light, casting unsettling shadows on grotesque living exhibits. Walls pulse with organic textures, and the air is thick with a mix of antiseptic and decay. Each diorama is a twisted tableau of flesh and bone, blending art and agony.
