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 Nexus of Veils is a bizarre, perpetually shifting fortress that serves as the heart of The Shifting Sector, the central hub for all Shifterkin political and social life. Its unique function is to maintain control over the district by constantly manipulating reality and identity itself. Its architecture subtly shifts, making it disorienting. You'll find Shifterkin elders and operatives, their forms unnervingly fluid, constantly practicing their arts of disguise and mental manipulation. Work here involves masterminding deep-cover infiltration operations into rival districts, creating psychologically devastating illusions for warfare, performing identity-theft assassinations, and orchestrating complex disinformation campaigns against all foes within The Contested Sprawl.

Appearance

The fortress appears fluid and ever-changing, with walls and corridors that subtly shift shape and position. Elders and operatives with unnervingly fluid forms practice disguise and mental manipulation arts within its halls.
