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 Thread-Keeper's Judgment is the chilling, methodical court of Echoes of Entrapment, its proceedings held in a chamber lined with pulsating, unseen silken threads. Its purpose is to maintain absolute secrecy and unbroken loyalty within the Still-Hunter network. Crimes such as minor information leaks, insubordination against kin-leaders, or attempting to conceal secrets from the Queen condemn one to forced servitude: psychological conditioning, becoming a living information relay or a silent, long-suffering thrall, their memories endlessly overwritten. Major betrayal of network secrets, or aiding rivals, leads to execution: "The Venomous Embrace" – the condemned is slowly lowered into a pit containing specialized, venomous swarms, their agony meticulously recorded as they are consumed, their body and essence absorbed into the collective.

Appearance

The chamber walls are covered with unseen, pulsating silken threads that seem to hum with silent whispers. The air is heavy with tension, and a pit at the center holds venomous swarms used for executions.
