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 Kraken's Veins is a unique, vast, and perpetually reeking complex of processing chambers and pulsating vats, built directly into the side of Bile-Reef Anchorage's main harbor. Its unique function is to serve as a living laboratory for exploiting and alchemically processing sea monster parts. Here, Blight-Touched alchemists, assisted by Humans, dissect colossal creatures brought in by Cunning-Paw hunters, extracting ichor, organs, and bones. These materials are used to create potent, dark alchemical compounds, forge unholy pacts with monstrous entities, or even to grow new, grotesque forms of corrupted life for the alliance's grim purposes.

Appearance

The complex is a sprawling network of stone and coral-encrusted chambers with large glass vats filled with glowing, pulsating fluids. The air is thick with the stench of decay and strange chemical fumes, illuminated by eerie bioluminescent algae and flickering lanterns. Pipes and tubes snake through the walls, carrying extracted materials to various workstations and storage areas.
