Enter the World of Revole
Welcome to a Land full of Strife, Failure, and Forced Worship
Welcome to Revole, it is the year 312 PF. The Great powers of the world, the Deities, have betrayed there worshippers. Now, the inhabitants of the realm despise the Divines. However, they force prayer to them out of fear of releasing the Old Chaos...
Oh, how I wonder what could have been if the damned divines hadn't been so arrogant...
The world use to be full of wonder. From the ancient structures left behind by the Inverted, too the great floating cities made by the High Elves on Xer'Nuel. The First Pantheon was fair and just, and there influence spread across the whole of Kelothar.
However, everything turned sour after the appearance of a new wave of deities. They challenged the First Pantheon's rule over the realm, and this made both involved parties inwardly focused and arrogant. Thus, began the Time of Pandemonium, and the end of the once beautiful relationship between man and god.
And what came of this selfishness was truly horrifying. The events of The Founding would scar all those who survived, including the grand divines themselves...

The Revole Symbol depicts the hand of The Founder reaching up towards a d20, above the 4 elements of Chaos.
The Founding made many of the great scholars of our world realize, that we know much less about our worlds inner workings than we like to think we do.
This is merely the beginning. Where are you off too now Far Traveler?
