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

At the core of Stonegaunt, this vast, ancient cavern contains a gargantuan, petrified heart-like formation that subtly pulses with the Riven Lands' agony. This "Tremor-Heart" amplifies the "constant geological instability" of the realm. Shadar-kai gather here for grim contemplation, but the threat is real: the Heart's pulse can trigger localized earthquakes, awaken "monstrous abominations from the deepest earth," or even animate dormant "petrified sentinels" nearby, turning their sanctuary into a deadly trap.

Appearance

A vast cavern with a massive, heart-shaped stone formation at its center, faintly pulsing with a dull red glow. Jagged rock walls shimmer with mineral veins, and petrified sentinels stand motionless around the chamber's edges.
