Reved is the name for an island in Ivor Lake, about 15 miles southeast of Ivortown. It is about 40 square miles and covered in tall grasses, small hills and light woodland. Farmlands dominate the Southwestern quarter of the island and houses Crane Manor, where the Lord of the island has his seat. The Eastern side of the island is taken up by the Temple of Sanka'ala where the High Priest of the river god has his traditional seat of power.

During the barbaric ages, Reved housed the famed Scholopolis of Marcus Julius Aquarius, a center for learning and magical studies. It was also the stronghold which successfully repelled the advance of Nurgle the plague god.

Reved's history is long and colorful. The island was originally inhabited by primitve dwarves around 12,000 BA, already showing signs of the obsessive tunneling impulse that would later determine much of the civlization, they dug deep into the earth, uncovering natural caves, including a huge, hollowed out chamber. Over the course of the next millenia, they would build primitive steps down into this chamber, now popularly called the Tomb of Monsters, which served as a cultic site for the worship of totem animals painted on the walls, primarily dromesotheres and the island stags.

Around 6,500 BA, the dwarves were driven from the island by the advancing armies of the Sylvan Court, recently favored by the Dolotai with new thaumaturgies and weaponry. Reved was repurposed as a site for Aelven study of the Mother of Waters, long a mystical place in the elder race's lore and formerly home to the mysterious Ablethi, sentient anti-diluvian fish who, according to Aelven lore, had fought against the fledgling race alongside the Ilithid in forgotten millenia. Aelven Laboratories and Thaumatoriums, newly enhanced by Dolotaic technology, replaced the primitive dwarven huts and stone tombs. At the height of Aelven dominance in 4,300 BA, however, Reved was given an awesomely powerful gift, the Watcher, Seketheret. When the Dolotai departed, their long project set into motion, they gave the aelves one of their own, Seketheret, as a sign of good faith and as a liason should things go wrong. Simultaenously reverent of and terrified by the Dolotai, the Aelves eventually had him sealed in the subterranean chamber using tehcnologies Seketheret had shown them to use. His rage was terrible and so they set up a series of magical wards, bound him to the earth and set a Gate Keeper, stripped of his name, whose eyes, ears and tongue would be cut off, to guard the banfeul place. Reved and its furious, ancient inhabitant was abandoned by the Aelves and shunned in the legends and myths of most other nearby inhabitants.

It only received new life when it was rediscovered in 2346 BA by Marcus Julius Aquarius, the first Sevine child born in Harkania, who, attracted to the proximity to the Mother of Waters (Aquarius was a devoted follower of Sanka'ala) and perhaps unconsciously drawn to the dread power that emanated from beneath the island chose it as the site of his Scholopolis, a villa where thaumaturgy and theology in all of their varioous and sundry forms could be studied freely and to the mutual benefit of all. Over the next twenty or so years he drew many strange denizens to Reved. He had once discovered the entryway to the antechamber, and been so terrified by the now two thousand year old Gate-keeper that he had the entrance to the stairs sealed, and vowed never to journey inside again. With the aide of his paramour, Michaela Kustinof, he raised his very recently deceased captain of the guard Antony Micenus Saturnalius from the dead, and continued the practice until Reved was staffed by an all-undead guard. Among the scholars at Reved were Yohn Bucherad, a devotee of true-naming, the Skaaven binder, Mar'sklith, the ascetic Searland Sword Soul, Cuthbert (later canonized in the Old Harkanian Church), the Bellgrim warlock, Matonga, and numerous others.

Reved was very nearly overrun by Nurgle and his Plagueheart Warhost when the Befouler arrived at its shores, chasing Quintus Martius Arcanus and his companions. It was on the balcony of the Scholopolis that Vahrin Iresk fought toe to toe with Nurgle's avatar, Isolde von Bluterbrechen, and in the water dock below that Cuthbert was said to have ascended in a blast of light that killed every Skaaven invader for a quarter mile. When the Mother of Waters rose up at Arcanus' behest to destroy Nurgle, it drained all the vivacity from the Lake and surrounding woods, bleaching all the trees and creatures white, or making their skin transperant. Reved was no exception and still boasts ghostly white forests filled with albino stags, frogs and sparrows.

Following the defeat of Nurgle, Aquarius went back to living the simple life of a scholar. He ruled over the Sevine refugees for some time from the Scholopolis before Arcanus claimed his proper place as Governor Regent. Arcanus and his companions  opened up the gate into the Tomb of Monsters and spoke with Seketheret who offered them power in exchange for his release. They deicded it was better to leave him imprisoned and to seal the doors again. After that, Reved became a place of worship, contemplation and study once again.

In the centuries following Aquarius' death, the Scholopolis was built into a temple to Sanka'ala, the river god beloved by both Aquarius and Arcanus. As the Sevine people slowly dispersed genetically into Harkanian stock, Reved was held as a central place of worship for the god, as well a holy site for the now deified Arcanus. An earthquake in the 700's PA buried the Tomb of Monsters, killing Seketheret and sealing off all possible knowledge of his existnce until the late 17th century when archeological excavation of the tomb began.

Merod Lightbringer decreed Reved to be a holy place, perhaps the holiest he had yet seen in Harkania and donated enough money to the cult of Sanka'ala to refurbish and expand the temple which had been badly damaged in the earthquake. When the Old Harkanian Church was consolidated in 1138 PA, it was officially named the site of the Prime Temple of Sanka'ala, as well as the meeting place for all inter-temple summits and offical church business.

During the Sevillan occupation in the 1260's PA, the land was granted to a noble family, the Cranada, who, after the occupation ended, changed their name to Crane and still hold the deeds to most of the land to this day.

Reved is now home to perhaps 6,000 or so individuals, most of them in the service of the temple or its outlying monasteries and convents. About 1,000 or so are part of the household staff or surrounding farms belonging to the Cranes.
