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 Shrouded Crypt is a silent, oppressive tavern built into Bone-Silent Sanctum's vast, ancient burial grounds. Darakhul guardians and scholars exchange hushed words here. It functions as a clandestine market for stolen relics and ancient, morbid knowledge, and a meeting point for those seeking to disturb the dead. Jobs involve guarding haunted crypts or retrieving dangerous artifacts from long-sealed tombs. Services include acquiring forbidden texts on necromancy or hiring experts in ritualistic binding of spirits. Their "famous" dish is "Ancestor's Loaf," a dry, tasteless bread rumored to contain pulverized bone-dust for wisdom.

Appearance

Dimly lit with flickering candles, heavy stone walls etched with cryptic runes, and shadowy alcoves where hushed conversations take place; the air is thick with the scent of old parchment and faint incense.
