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

This arena is less a fixed structure and more a performance of chaos. Its floor constantly ripples and reforms, shifting from solid ground to treacherous quicksand, or even sprouting razor-sharp stone shards. Gladiators are often unwitting captives, their memories warped, forced to fight in ever-changing environments while their struggles are broadcast via whispered psychic feeds to the oligarchs. The Shifting Sands serves as a grim display of the Kitsune's control over reality and identity, a stark warning that even the ground beneath one's feet can betray them. It also functions as a brutal testing ground for new psychological conditioning techniques.

Appearance

The arena floor is a chaotic, ever-changing landscape that shifts between solid earth, treacherous quicksand, and jagged stone shards. The surroundings are dimly lit, with faint psychic whispers echoing as the oligarchs watch the gladiators' struggles.
