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

Within a vast, chillingly silent subterranean complex beneath Mournsong, this "academy" is where the Darakhul priesthood trains. Apprentices immerse themselves in ancient "morbid rituals" and the "mournful pronouncements" of the unquiet dead. They learn to "extract knowledge and power from the deceased," bind "spectral energies" to living anchors, and navigate the spiritual backlash from ancient entities, mastering the grim art of communing with death.

Appearance

The complex is chillingly silent, with cold stone walls etched with cryptic runes and alcoves holding spectral anchors. Dim, ghostly lights flicker along winding corridors lined with ossuaries and ritual chambers filled with ancient relics and arcane symbols.
