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

Once a beautiful noble estate, the Blackened Gardens of Lament are now a blighted, twisted landscape of petrified plants and weeping stone statues. This site was where a particularly vile betrayal led to the massacre of an entire noble line. The very soil is said to be poisoned by ancient grief and spilled blood, refusing to grow anything but blackened thistles. Its function is a chilling memorial to unchecked vengeance, a place where the pervasive dread of the Archipelago takes on a palpable, suffocating form.

Appearance

Twisted, petrified plants and statues weep silently; blackened thistles dominate the poisoned soil, with an eerie, suffocating atmosphere of sorrow and dread.
