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 Howling Den is a crude, smoke-filled tavern carved into a massive, hollowed-out tree at Gnarled Hold's heart. Elf hunters and scouts gather here, their rough voices punctuated by barks and growls. It functions as a forum for organizing dangerous monster hunts and trading information on wild game. Jobs involve joining perilous hunts deep into the forest's monster-infested depths or participating in ritualistic "purification" hunts for internal disputes. Services include acquiring blight-resistant tracking hounds or hiring expert beast-lurers who use unique, unsettling calls. Their "famous" food is "Monster Jerky," tough, sinewy meat sourced from rare, dangerous forest abominations.

Appearance

The interior is dim and smoky, with rough wooden furniture and walls scarred by claw marks. The air is thick with the scent of burning wood and dried meat, punctuated by the occasional bark or growl from patrons or tracking hounds.
