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 Ghostlight Gambit is an unnerving, softly glowing tavern in Echo-Nexus, its architecture subtly shifting around patrons. Kitsune operatives and their human contacts mingle here. It functions as a clandestine exchange for stolen identities and fabricated pasts, and a hub for information on vulnerable targets. Jobs involve performing false flag operations or becoming a "living decoy" in a dangerous plot. Services include purchasing new personas (often from unwilling donors) or hiring psychological manipulators who specialize in breaking wills through identity erosion. Their "famous" food is "The Unnamed Pie," a bland, flavorless pastry said to taste different to everyone, or to taste like nothing at all.

Appearance

The tavern emits an eerie, soft glow with walls and furniture that subtly shift and change shape around patrons, creating a disorienting atmosphere. The interior is dimly lit with ghostly lights and shadowy corners where deals are made.
