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 Chamber of Unbroken Chains is a grim, cold temple in Forgefall, its chambers devoid of warmth or natural light, emanating a faint, constant hum. Dedicated to Valerius, The Overseer's Lash, its purpose is the absolute, efficient subjugation of its populace to endless, meaningless toil, meticulously crushing spirits for brutal productivity. Here, Human overseers, faces disturbingly blank, drive cohorts of blank-eyed Human laborers through grinding, repetitive tasks like hauling endless chains or polishing metal, all for no discernible purpose. You'll find vast tally-boards tracking "output," and individuals moving with listless, enforced obedience, their wills slowly eroding. This Chamber is a monument to perfect, dehumanizing efficiency, where work consumes identity until nothing remains but the grind itself.

Appearance

The chamber is cold and dark, with stone walls lined by endless chains and metal polishing stations. Overseers with blank faces silently command laborers who move with listless obedience. The air vibrates with a faint, constant hum from hidden machinery, and tally-boards display meticulous records of productivity.
