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 Echoing Vault is not a treasury of wealth, but a vast, cold cavern within the Stone-Wrought Dominion, accessible only to the highest Deep-Crawler elders. Its unique function is to store and "commune" with sentient geological memories—the agonizing psychic imprints left by the Sundering and aeons of suffering deep within the earth's crust. These fragmented, disturbing "memories" are extracted from rare mineral formations, causing excruciating pain to the Deep-Crawlers who touch them. The Vault hums with a constant, low psychic resonance, and those who spend too long inside risk profound psychological torment, becoming lost in the earth's ancient anguish.

Appearance

The cavern walls shimmer with faintly glowing mineral veins, pulsating with a low, constant psychic hum. Jagged mineral formations jut from the floor and ceiling, each radiating a disturbing psychic aura. The air is cold and heavy, filled with an oppressive, ancient anguish that seems to whisper in the minds of visitors.
