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.

appearance
A stocky Tiefling woman with prominent curved horns decorated with silver rings representing successful criminal ventures. Her sea-weathered dark skin bears the permanent tan lines of someone who spent years on legitimate merchant vessels. Wears a modified ship captain's coat over practical sailing clothes, with hidden pockets containing various maritime tools and weapons. Anchor tattoos cover both muscular arms, and her yellow eyes hold the calculating intensity of someone who sees everything as potential profit or loss.
personality
Ruthlessly business-minded with a talent for seeing every situation in terms of profit and loss calculations, Serafina approaches crime with the same methodical planning she once applied to legitimate commerce. She holds deep grudges against the maritime establishment that abandoned her family during financial crisis and takes particular satisfaction in operations that damage her former business associates. Despite her criminal activities, she maintains professional standards and treats her gang like a legitimate crew with proper shares and benefits.
backstory
Daughter of a legitimate merchant family, Serafina inherited the family shipping business along with massive debts hidden by her father's creative accounting. When creditors began seizing vessels and cargo, she discovered that maritime crime paid better than honest trade. Her knowledge of shipping routes, port procedures, and commercial law makes her extraordinarily effective at cargo theft and vessel seizure. She maintains a facade of legitimate business while systematically preying on the same merchant community that once welcomed her as a peer.
