The Riven Lands

An androgynous, abstract cosmic entity with no stable form, perceived as a pervasive distortion of reality where light bends unnaturally and shadows twist into impossible shapes. It manifests as chilling whispers, impossible geometric patterns, and a disorienting chorus of discordant frequencies, leaving behind a scent of ozone and dread.

Zhar-Kul is utterly alien and indifferent to mortal suffering, embodying pure malevolence and chaos. It feels no human emotions but takes a chilling satisfaction in shattering sanity and dissolving all meaning. It acts unpredictably, spreading terror and madness without reason or mercy, driven by an unyielding need to unravel all existence into a screaming void.

Zhar-Kul is an ancient cosmic entity born from the chaotic aftermath of The Sundering, embodying the ultimate terror that shatters all meaning and sanity. It is not a god of physical conflict or dominion but a pervasive force of nihilism and madness that warps reality and minds alike. Its presence is felt as a distortion of reality, impossible whispers, and the sudden onset of madness, driving mortals to despair and destruction. Zhar-Kul's influence is subtle yet devastating, unraveling the fragile illusions of hope and purpose, leaving only a screaming void of chaos and oblivion. It is worshipped by those who seek to embrace the end of all things or are driven mad by its incomprehensible nature, becoming agents of senseless violence and despair in its name.
