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.

A massive, austere hall carved from the living rock in a small settlement, utterly devoid of ornament. The Grotto of Unwept Tears is a place where those afflicted with the Stone-Gloom—a unique form of spiritual despair that causes the victim's body to slowly petrify into a grotesque, living statue—are confined. The work here is grim and psychological; Shadar-kai are forced to sit in silent, solitary contemplation with the afflicted, their minds slowly breaking from the constant, low hum of the stone. The threat is the plague itself, a virulent rot that can be passed through touch, slowly eroding the morale and spirit of both the sick and their caretakers.
The hall is cold and unadorned, with rough stone walls and floors, dimly lit by natural fissures in the rock. The air is heavy with a palpable sense of despair and the faint, eerie hum of the stone.
