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

A massive, ancient burial mound in a small settlement. The Tomb of Cursed Echoes is a place where those afflicted with a unique, mental blight—a spiritual decay that causes the victim to endlessly repeat the final, tormented words of a disturbed grave—are quarantined. The work here is grim and psychological; Darakhul are forced to sit with the afflicted, attempting to contain the curse with ritualistic whispers and chants. The threat is insidious; the process slowly consumes the sanity of the caretakers, and the lost words can manifest as mind-rending phantasms, tormenting both the sick and their caretakers.

Appearance

A massive, weathered earthen mound surrounded by simple wooden fences and small huts for caretakers. Dim lanterns hang from posts, casting eerie shadows, with faint whispers heard on the wind.
