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 Deep-Root Anchor is a spartan, frigid tavern and inn carved into the base of one of Stonegaunt's immense, dark mountains. Its function is to serve as the grim gateway for expeditions into abyssal depths. Shadar-kai and their silent Human and Elf attendants gather here. The air is cold and heavy, carrying the faint, metallic scent of unknown rock. Work involves hiring guides for subterranean routes, purchasing specialized equipment for deep expeditions, or trading unusual mineral samples. This inn is a place of deep-earth secrets and unwavering resolve in the face of overwhelming geological dread.

Appearance

The inn is carved directly into the mountain's dark stone, with rough-hewn walls and minimal furnishings. The air is cold and heavy, filled with a faint metallic scent. Dim, flickering lanterns cast long shadows, emphasizing the austere and foreboding atmosphere.
