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 cemetery of Stonegaunt is a vast, terrifying library known as The Silent Catacombs. Carved into immense, petrified structures and deep, lightless caverns, it is a place of austere silence and grim contemplation. The dead are entombed in stone, their faces frozen in a mask of silent despair. The purpose of this place is to guard ancient, perilous sites, perhaps forgotten portals or slumbering horrors. In this grim library, the memories of the deceased are absorbed by the Grave-Lichen that grows on the skulls of the dead. The silence here is not peaceful, but a profound, heavy quiet that presses in on all who enter, a constant reminder of the grim contemplations of a race on the brink of extinction.

Appearance

Immense stone structures and dark caverns with skulls covered in glowing Grave-Lichen, faces of the dead etched in stone, and an oppressive silence that weighs on visitors.
