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 Crypt-Lord's Vault is Silent Sepulchre's somber capital, a meeting chamber for the Darakhul council and a vast repository of morbid knowledge and cursed relics. Its function is the grim preservation of death's secrets. Threats include relic-induced madness spreading through council members, crypt-guardians turning rogue and preying on the living within the sanctum, ritualistic murders for bone harvests occurring in hidden chambers, sentient skeletal constructs rising from vaults and attacking, and ancient curses affecting specific chambers or individuals.

Appearance

A vast, dimly lit chamber lined with ancient stone shelves holding cursed relics and tomes. Shadowy alcoves hide secret chambers, while skeletal constructs patrol the halls. The air is heavy with a sense of dread and whispered secrets.
