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

Built precariously on a jagged, sea-beaten isle, this "academy" is a brutal training ground for Serpentscale's future pirate captains and cultists. Here, young Tiefling learn not just naval warfare and brute combat, but also the dark rituals required to "appease malevolent sea entities" and forge "dark pacts" with "ancient demons of the deep." It’s where they’re desensitized to brutality and taught to wield "cursed goods" and sacrificial practices for unchecked plunder.

Appearance

Perched on sharp, sea-worn rocks, the school is a fortress of weathered stone and dark wood, adorned with eerie sea-themed totems and arcane symbols. The air is thick with salt, smoke, and the faint echo of chanting and clashing weapons.
