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 public well of Stonegaunt is a massive, petrified geode carved from the deep earth. The water here is liquid, but it is unnervingly silent, absorbing all sound in its vicinity. It is said to be the condensed essence of forgotten memories and silent despair. The well is a central hub for the populace, who use the water to perform grim rituals of contemplation and to communicate with the spirits of the dead. The well is a grim, beautiful, and terrifying sight, with the eerie glow of the crystals illuminating the thousands of Shadar-kai who tend to them. It is a symbol of the nation's grim contemplation and its morbid obsession with the memories of the dead.

Appearance

The well glows eerily with crystal light, illuminating thousands of Shadar-kai tending to it. Its petrified geode walls shimmer with dark, haunting beauty, casting long shadows in the silent air.
