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 Gaping Gullet is Kraken's Maw's primary dock, a vile complex of barnacle-encrusted piers perpetually slick with brine and unnatural slime. Built into a colossal, petrified sea beast, it eternally screams silent agony. Here, Tiefling pirate captains process monstrous catches and perform debased sacrifices. You'll find grotesque monster remains, Tiefling overseers driving brutal labor, and victims' cries echoing from hidden ritual chambers. The air is thick with decay, blood, and something unidentifiable. Work involves flaying carcasses, preparing sacrifices, crewing grotesque vessels, or deep-sea diving for abominations. You can find smuggled captives, blighted artifacts, and potent dark elixirs. Its purpose: to feed the city's depraved appetites and offer tribute to the abyss, maintaining Serpentscale’s grim, oceanic reign.

Appearance

Barnacle-encrusted piers slick with brine and unnatural slime, grotesque monster remains being flayed, Tiefling overseers, hidden ritual chambers emitting unsettling cries, and the petrified sea beast's maw forming the dock's structure.
