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

A sprawling, grotesque, living laboratory in a small settlement. The Morbid Gardens is a place where victims of the Flesh-Wasting Plague—a grotesque malady that causes the victim's body to slowly decompose, even while they are still alive—are confined. The work is brutal and dangerous; healthy Tiefling and forced captives are tasked with harvesting the weeping sores and diseased flesh, which is then used in vile experiments. The threat is the plague itself, a virulent rot that can be passed through touch, slowly eroding the morale and spirit of both the sick and their caretakers.

Appearance

Twisted, decaying plants and flesh-like growths intertwine with rusted cages and makeshift workstations. The air is thick with a sickly sweet stench and the ground is stained with dark, weeping sores.
