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

Beneath a seemingly innocuous, crumbling chapel, the Whispering Catacombs sprawl into a vast, labyrinthine burial complex. These crypts are not merely tombs; they are reservoirs of lingering despair and the "bone-dust remnants" of forgotten, tormented souls. The air within is heavy with the subtle, disembodied whispers of the countless dead, often sharing fragmented memories of their lives and "vile betrayals." Its function is a grim archive of agony, a place sought by Darakhul for forbidden knowledge and by those desperate enough to try and manipulate the dead for their own ends.

Appearance

Dimly lit by faint, eerie phosphorescence, the catacombs are lined with ancient stone tombs and scattered bones. The walls are etched with cryptic symbols and faint, ghostly whispers echo through the corridors.
