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

Deep within the desolate, weeping caves of the Stonegaunt, the Oblivion Scribes have their headquarters in a series of solemn, interconnected caves. The Sanctum of Erased Truths is a network of austere chambers and sunless passages, carved from the very rock and reinforced with ancient runes. The air here is cold and utterly still, devoid of the usual whispers of the dead, for this is a place of finality. This is the brotherhood's nexus for their grim work. The Sanctum's function is to banish the undead and bring peace to restless spirits. In the "Ritual Cells," Shadar-kai use their deathly aura to anchor and then shatter a spirit's form, releasing it. The work here is a grim form of mercy, a chilling discipline of ritual and silence. The entire structure stands as a testament to their unwavering zeal, a grim reminder that even in a dying world, some still believe in a final, silent rest.

Appearance

Carved from dark rock and reinforced with ancient runes, the chambers are cold, silent, and solemn, with ritual cells where Shadar-kai perform their deathly work. The air is still and heavy with finality, devoid of any ghostly whispers.
