Grimdark
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
Nestled within a vast, echoing cavern, this "academy" is a solemn place of grim contemplation and the study of ancient lore. Young Shadar-kai learn to attune their senses to the subtle tremors of "constant geological instability" and the whispers of "slumbering horrors" deep within the earth. It's where they're taught the long, sorrowful vigil required to guard "ancient, perilous sites" and to cope with the "pervasive despair" of their existence.
Appearance
The cavern is dimly lit by faintly glowing crystals embedded in jagged rock walls, with scattered stone seats and ancient tomes resting on carved stone pedestals. The air is heavy with a sense of sorrow and quiet tension, punctuated by distant echoes and subtle ground tremors.
