Secrets and Clues

  • Sunken Revvia is a battlefield between three entities – the hobgoblin warlord General Krash, the cult of Vrys, and a terrible black dragon named Ouryvax the Sallowsworn who commands trolls and stone giants out of the ruin called Omen's End.
  • Krash seeks the defeat of Ouryvax the Sallowsworn. Krash doesn’t understand Vrys or their intentions.
  • A kobold village named Fallen Avantys serves as a refuge for kobolds among the warring factions of Sunken Revvia.
  • When the Nameless King claimed the lands above more than a thousand years ago, Revvia became one of his primary residences, and an enclave of servants, soldiers, thralls, and other low folk.
  • Mages, warlocks, and sorcerers devoted to the Nameless King conducted fell experiments, rituals, and conjurations in Revvia, creating or summoning monsters of terrible power and disposition.
  • Dozens of humanoid and monstrous warlords attempted to rule over Sunken Revvia in recent centuries, but have been destroyed to the last.
  • Before the coming of the Nameless King, a battle was fought in Revvia by the fiendish blue dragon Xrake the Relentless and the archmage Tryvanus of Krate. Their conflict tore a rift in the city known as Xrake’s Scar.
  • The step pyramid was a powerful engine tapped into another world used to build armies of fel warriors in service to the NK. It collapsed when Xrake’s Scar opened. Now it’s an open wound in the world.
  • Knights of the nameless king have opened a portal to Arkus in sunken Revvia.
  • The children of ibraxus are in Sunken Revvia as well, operating out of the Profane Cathedral.
