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.

Tiefling
Born of an ancient, cursed pact, Riven Tieflings bear the mark of malevolent entities in their blood, condemned to a life of relentless hatred and violence in the Riven Lands. Their demonic features and corrupted nature make them eternal pariahs, hunted and reviled as living symbols of a cosmic debt they can never escape.
Shadar-kai
The Shadar-kai are a cursed elven race, twisted by a pact with a predatory entity from the Shadowfell, existing as ashen, lifeless echoes caught between life and death. Marked by their gaunt, decaying forms and soul-siphoning essence, they endure centuries of torment, spreading the blight while universally reviled as manifestations of pervasive evil.
Kitsune
Kitsune in The Riven Lands are cursed deceivers marked by fox tails and ears, embodying the grotesque fae corruption of the Sundering. Their agonizing shapeshifting is a strained, imperfect curse, fueling universal scorn and fear as they manipulate despair and misery, living as hunted outcasts in a fractured world.
Human
Humans are a beleaguered and scattered race, defined by their brutal struggle for survival in a hostile world. They lack inherent resistances but possess unparalleled adaptability, desperate ingenuity, and a chilling capacity for cruelty, viewing all others with suspicion and hatred, clinging to existence through cunning and sheer will in a world that seeks their extinction.
Half-Elf
Half-elves are the Scorned Bastards of the Riven Lands, marked by reckless ambition and crude inventiveness from their human side, and a maddening sensitivity to the realm's anguish from their elven heritage. Universally reviled and caught between worlds, they embody a cursed empathy for decay and suffering, living as pariahs and grim reminders of the Sundering's unholy fusion.
God
The Gods of The Riven Lands, worshipped by all, are terrifying, self-serving entities born from the realm's cosmic trauma. They embody its suffering and decay, tyranny, despair, blight, or destruction. Each is a vast, grotesque, fundamental force that demands worship and grants power, but only to twist their followers further into the world's unending cycle of pain. They enforce their terrible will and perpetuate their grim domains, offering no salvation only bitter truth.
Elf
Elves are a blighted, decaying elven race twisted by corrupt magic, inhabiting rotting forests and jagged spires under a smoke-choked sky. They cling parasitically to corrupted nature, their magic a vile infection that scars flesh and sanity, while their insular, xenophobic nature breeds bitter disdain for all outsiders, whom they see as contaminants to their shattered, mournful existence.
Dwarf
Dwarves of the Riven Lands, bound by suffocating clan obligations and ancient grudges, dwelling in sunken, root-carved halls of lost grandeur. They harbor a deep xenophobia and seething resentment toward all outsiders, driven by a grim resolve to reclaim shattered fragments of their broken world through relentless toil and bitter defiance.
Darakhul
To the Darakhul, if you are not a member of their ghoulish empire, you are meat – food and raw material for their unending expansion. Their empire maintains complex, horrifying social structures built on a hierarchy of consumption, forging serious, debased alliances with entities of pure rot and despair. They scheme and plot with a patience born of undeath, their minds turned to the next feast. They hunger for the living flesh with a visceral, unholy craving.
