the Riven
Karth's former fear-ridden faction in the Sunder, now a voluntary part of Cael's Bound.
The Riven was once a territory within the Sunder ruled by Karth through terror, housing approximately forty monsters who lived under his iron grip. Following the events of Book 3, this fractured group was absorbed into the nation of the Bound, marking a significant shift from coercion to cooperation.
Unlike their past existence defined by fear, the members of The Riven are now integrated into Cael's nation through the power of choice. This transformation has allowed named survivors such as Dovik, Sesh, Ait, and Marr to find a new purpose within the collective safety of the Bound.

Lore & Background
Historically, The Riven represented a dark chapter of the Sunder where Karth maintained control over roughly forty monsters using fear as his primary tool of governance. This dynamic changed irrevocably in Book 3 when the faction was absorbed into the Bound, ending their era of subjugation.
The transition from a fear-based hierarchy to a chosen alliance highlights the resilience of its members. Key figures like Dovik, Sesh, Ait, and Marr stand as testaments to this evolution, having moved from being subjects of terror to willing participants in Cael's nation.
