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 Judgment of Stillness is Deep-Stone Bastion's Shadar-kai council court, held within the Watcher's Maw, judging disobedience and enforcing vigilance against abyssal threats. Disobedience to the council, attempting to leave post, or disturbing abyssal threats lead to forced servitude: slow, agonizing petrification into a living monument, or forced into unmoving vigil over perilous sites. Deliberately inciting motion or allowing abyssal threats to pass earns execution: "The Stone Veil" – condemned encased alive in rapidly solidifying, translucent rock, senses slowly petrified one by one, body a motionless monument of agony.

Appearance

A cavernous chamber carved from dark stone, illuminated by eerie, faintly glowing abyssal crystals. The walls are lined with statues of former condemned, frozen in expressions of torment and vigilance. The center holds a raised dais where the council judges sit, surrounded by stone pillars etched with ancient runes.
