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

Deep within the unsettling, rigged democracy of Veilwatch, stands the headquarters of the Identity Brokers. The Echoing Spires is not a single building, but a district of constantly rearranging facades and labyrinthine passages. It serves as their chilling nexus for the syndicate's darkest crimes. This is where they run their insidious "Soul-Laundries," a series of fortified, soundless chambers where they systematically shatter and re-weave the minds of victims, creating compliant, anonymous tools. Here, stolen identities are catalogued in "Persona-Vaults," and blackmail is conducted with ruthless precision. Enforcers, their forms subtly altered to create a sense of profound unease, patrol the twisting corridors. The entire complex is a monument to methodical, systematic cruelty, proving that in the Riven Lands, even your mind is a commodity to be exploited and sold.

Appearance

The district is a maze of twisting corridors and facades that subtly shift, with enforcers whose altered forms evoke deep unease patrolling silently. The architecture is cold and methodical, with fortified chambers that absorb sound, creating an oppressive silence throughout.
