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 Blind Eel's Grotto is a perpetually damp, unsettling tavern found in a cavernous section of The Sunless March, lit by the bioluminescent glow of strange fungi. The clientele, mostly Deep-Crawlers and their human thralls, are often quiet, their faces drawn and eyes wide. It functions as a hub for desperate prophecy-seekers and a market for hallucinogenic fungi and dream-altering concoctions. Jobs involve venturing into uncharted, dangerous tunnels to gather new fungal specimens or acting as "dream-sifters" who attempt to interpret the visions induced by the Grotto's potent brews. Their "famous" dish is "Glow-Worm Goulash," a luminescent, earthy stew believed to enhance one's connection to the abyssal Gods.

Appearance

The tavern is dimly lit by glowing fungi on the walls and ceiling, with damp stone floors and wooden tables. The air is thick with the scent of earth and strange herbs, and the clientele are mostly quiet Deep-Crawlers and their human thralls with drawn faces and wide eyes.
