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 labyrinthine hall of constantly rearranging illusions and false doors in a small settlement. Its purpose is to enforce the law through espionage and subtle manipulation. Work here involves patrolling the settlement, meticulously crafting new identities, a constant game of espionage, and subtle manipulation. You'd find Kitsune operatives stealing memories, and leaders planning a new deception to acquire more power. The cells are for holding those who break the law, and for preparing captives for ritual sacrifices. It's a place of grim, unending duty, where order is enforced through cold, unwavering resolve.

Appearance

The interior is a maze of shifting walls and illusory doors, dimly lit with flickering torches. The atmosphere is tense and oppressive, with shadowy figures moving silently through the corridors. Cells are cold and stark, designed for containment and ritual preparation.
