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 Wailing Cenotaph is Mournsong's grim capital, serving as the primary residence for Darakhul high priests and the main ritual site for communing with the dead. Its function is to extract knowledge and power from the deceased. Threats include uncontrolled undead manifestations breaching the Cenotaph's sacred barriers, spiritual backlash from ancient entities tormenting the priests, plagues from disturbed crypts sickening the clergy, pervasive apathy spreading among priests from constant despair, and ghoulish scavengers infiltrating the complex for remains.

Appearance

A vast, shadowed complex of ancient stone adorned with cryptic runes and spectral lights, surrounded by eerie silence broken only by distant wails and whispers of the dead.
