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 Mournsong, this prominent, ancient altar of perpetually damp, black stone is where rituals are performed to "extract knowledge and power from the deceased." This altar is a focal point for "unpredictable manifestations of uncontrolled undead," sometimes lashing out at the priesthood or populace. Worse, it often causes "violent spiritual backlash from ancient entities" when disturbed too deeply, manifesting as localized curses or mental assaults on nearby Darakhul, risking pervasive madness.

Appearance

A large, black stone altar covered in constant moisture, etched with faded runes and surrounded by wilted flowers and scattered bones. The air around it feels heavy and charged with restless spirits.
