| − | ==Description== | + | ==History== |
| | + | ===Origins=== |
| | + | Reven came into existence from the remnants of the [[Vordul Sanguinis|Sanguine Empire]] near the dawn of the Age of Shadows. With the Death of the Sanguine Emperor [[Silverblade_Family/Xlair|Xlair Silverblade]] in the Siege of Wudenkin that marked the end of the [[Melhed/History/Age of Shadow/Summary/Pilgrimage War|Pilgrimage War]] the Sanguine Empire fell apart. From the remnants the kingdom of Reven came to be. |
| | | | |
| − | A RP Heavy Lawful Evil Tyrannical Empire, focused on role play and status gained through the Blood Oath and Favor with the Disciples and Emperor. We look to bring continent wide role play through regional RP and inclusion of Nobles & Adventurers regardless of their patron realm.

| + | ====The Theocracy of Reven==== |
| − | ==Introduction==
| + | At the dawn of the [[Melhed/Agyrian Acedemy/Terriad/Age of Shadow/Timeline|Age of Shadows]], also known as the Seventh age of Beluaterra, the new Saints of Revenon church transformed the land that had been [[Vordul Sanguinis|The Sanguine Empire]] into the Theocracy of Reven. The Theocracy of Reven was focused largely upon the worship of Saints, namely the chief saint of Revenon. This Theocracy was fairly short lived and few records exist of its [[Saints of Reven|Core beliefs and tenants]] survive. |
| | | | |
| − | Xlair Silverblade, the "Blood Eternal" cursed to wear the Armor of Arshava, a torture device made by the Silverblade family of necromancers with the intention to kill and enslave Xlair. Instead he was able to conquer it by using the blood of his enemies to sate and bind with the armor itself.
| + | The Theocracy of Reven was most known for the many conflicts it found itself embroiled in throughout its existence. These included: |
| | + | *The First war with the Vale: The [[Shattered Vales|Shattered Vale]], seeking a new home in the North sook to claim Wudenkin as a forward capital. This war failed and the Shattered Vale agreed to a cease fire. They would shortly after employ a magical portal to move their population to the North of Reven. |
| | + | *The War for Tor: A war fought between the Theocracy of Reven and the [[Irondale|Republic of Irondale]] for control of the region of Tor. The Theocracy lost this war and Tor was claimed by the Republic of Irondale in perpetuity. |
| | + | *The Thalmarkin Conflict: A briefly declared war between the [[Thalmarkin|Theocracy of Thalmarkin]] and the Theocracy of Reven due to the incursion of one Vidkunn Thane into Thalmarkin lands. This conflict was resolved through diplomacy without any major confrontations. |
| | + | *The Second war with the Vale: A border and political conflict once again between the Theocracy and the [[Shattered Vales|Shattered Vale]], prompted by a perceived insult levied by the priestess of Revenon Thuraya Montgomery. The Theocracy of Reven lost this was and surrendered claims to regions North of Ircymbar and Junohep. |
| | | | |
| − | He would take revenge upon his household, destroy it, and come to Beluaterra. He took Wudenkin due to its history with evil and power and is seeking divine lore, worship and oaths of strength by blood toward the common goal of finding relics of power to open a portal to the gods with the intention of finding the Dark Mistress.
| + | ====The Republic of Reven==== |
| | + | Shortly after the loss of the Second War with the Vale the religion of Revenon that made up the core of the Theocracy began to fall apart. With the kingdom's identity in crisis the reins of government were given to Diorto Winmon, who restructured the realm into a Republic. The founding and initial years of the Republic were marked by a search for a sense of cultural identity within Reven, and various leaders and nobles all attempted to contribute in various ways. The capital of the realm moved briefly from [[Vozzessdor]] to [[Wudenkin]], then back again. There was a brief period in which culture shifted toward an imperialistic model of a core republic, then a shift toward a darker and more depraved identity that harkened to it's [[Vordul Sanguinis|founding roots]]. |

He wears his long thick raven black hair down, where it reaches to the middle of his back.

He stands 6 feet tall, but has a muscular build; a testament to the farming life of his youth. Eriol is a kind and brave man. Despite his kindness, he is fiercely loyal to the rather bloodthirsty Emperor, and has dedicated his life to his service, despite their different views. Although he is an honorable young man, he always has a snide comment at the ready, and views himself as more important than he truly is. An able commander and warrior, he has taken his assignment to the ambassadorial corps with frustration, although he seems to have a talent for it. Recently, his demeanor has taken a dark turn after being punished for a minor affront to the God-Emperor.

Halamance would think nothing about using the blood of murdered prisoners to water his gardens at dawn, before going on to teach the children of Imperial nobles courtly literature at noon.In battle he stands by his men clad in heavy maille, his black cloak emblazoned with the crimson Striga dragon. He fights ambidextrously, a simple steel lance in one hand, his heirloom sword Panzerfaust in the other.

| − | |Please note that we understand the evil and strict nature of Vordul Sanguinis is not the standard within Battlemaster. We've set this up with as much intention to be unique, as we have set it to be challenging. This is not "easy mode", it will be a cruel grind through role playing and decisive action toward moving up the chain of the command. As much as I (OOC) would love to make you all Disciples, take and follow all advice given, that's simply not possible. I will echo the words often told to me about Battlemaster, this is a slow game, no one is going to make it from Forsworn to Disciple in a short amount of time. It will take a lot of work, dealing with strict Disciples, undertaking quests and demands, and showing that you're a good follower/Sworn before you'll make any progress upward.

| − | I want everyone to have the freedom to play their evil (or not evil) character however they want. That being said, all players of all levels, need to understand that in the Sanguine Empire, this is an evil hierarchy that rules through fear and power. However unfortunate, in this hierarchy, a majority of the characters will begin as those being trodden upon. Being insulted, given the dirty work, blamed, punished, etc. even if they have the best intentions. I'm not saying this is going to be the norm, but I'm saying it is likely within an evil hierarchy. This is not because we want to ruin your fun, or put your character in a corner. It's because we want to challenge you, nothing is going to be handed to anyone. As you gain power as a character, and move up the ranks, people will be expected to cower in fear from you, require to open their estates to you, or whatever respect/fear your character demands, once your station supports it.

| − | I cannot just hand over titles, and refuse to do so, to people because I've known them for a long time OOC, or because they've played Battlemaster for 10+ years, or because they had one golden idea. The people in their current positions are there because their characters have consistently and reliably followed the orders of the Tyrant leader Xlair. Without question and without complaint they've taken punishments (just or unjust), they've shown undying loyalty and adherence to the laws and culture of the Empire.

| − | I want everyone to have fun and enjoy the game. I understand that the Empire is not for everyone, but for those of you who like the concept, I want to challenge you to continue to bolster and fortify the culture of the Empire. Everyone can make a Monarchy with a good King/Queen, honorable Knights/Dames, with kindness and congeniality. I want to make something unique and challenging, build something that Battlemaster hasn't seen before. A powerful empire, based on lore and hard core role playing, with aims to bring continent wide RP. We could end up being the next "invasion", but fully player run, as a villain that aims to make fun, without stomping on everyone's toys. A lore driven Empire that works to uncover the rich lore of Beluaterra and use mighty relics and tactics to challenge even the Devs with the idea of how characters can challenge the Divine, maybe through a GM led quest.

| − | Whatever it may be, let us build it together, and work together to get there. Read up on what we've posted in the Bulletins and the Wiki, and see how best you can fit within it. Sure, we need Disciples and an Emperor, but we need the Sworn more. The Sworn carry the weight of the Empire's culture on their shoulders. Your RP, observance to the laws and the culture, is what will make the Empire feel like an Empire, rather than a bunch of individual nobles disobeying one another and taunting each other in messages. That's been done before, let's do something different.
