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

A solemn, windowless stone structure built into the side of a massive, ancient burial mound. The Silent Watch is less a guardhouse and more a grim vigil. Work here involves silent observation of the forest's shifting shadows and psychic echoes. Guards, chosen for their emotional detachment, conduct silent patrols through the woods, monitoring for spiritual incursions and preparing for the quiet burial of kin. They enforce the council's grim justice, often a sentence of solitary contemplation in the Watch's lightless cells, ensuring the village is protected from both external and internal threats.

Appearance

The structure is a grim, stone edifice with no windows, blending seamlessly into the burial mound. Its exterior is marked by worn stone carvings of watchful eyes and silent sentinels, surrounded by dense, shadowy forest.
