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 Maw of Regret is a vast, naturally occurring cavern, accessible only by a single, narrow, lightless tunnel that continually drips with brackish water. Within, the air is unnaturally still and cold, and the darkness feels absolute. This place is imbued with the pervasive internal despair of countless souls who have succumbed to the Archipelago's miseries. While no physical threats lurk here, those who enter find their own deepest fears and most profound regrets amplified to an unbearable degree, leading to catatonia or suicidal impulses. The Maw is a living monument to spiritual brokenness, a place where despair itself becomes a palpable, consuming entity.

Appearance

The cavern is shrouded in absolute darkness, with walls slick from constant moisture. The silence is heavy, broken only by the slow drip of water echoing through the vast, empty space, evoking a sense of spiritual brokenness and consuming despair.
