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.

The Crucible of Strife is The Sundered Nexus's de facto judgment ground, where disputes are brutally settled by strength and shifting alliances amidst constant civil war. Betrayal of faction, cowardice in conflict, or hoarding vital resources lead to forced servitude: ruthless conscription into expendable cannon fodder brigades, or backbreaking labor for the temporary victor. Attempting to forge lasting peace between factions or outright refusing to fight earns execution: "The Grand Cycle" – condemned ritually dismembered by members of all ten races, each piece of body consumed by a different faction as a symbol of unending war.
A vast, scarred battlefield ringed by makeshift fortifications and war banners of ten factions. Bloodstained stones mark execution sites where The Grand Cycle is performed, with remnants of broken weapons and armor scattered across the cracked earth.
