Ancient History
Rivel was an isolationist mageocracy. The books imply that the ruling class of Spellcrafters were elven, humans were second class citizens and orcs were slaves thought to possess but animal intelligence. While Rivel did not interact with the Aegean Kingdoms to any great extent they did have spies, and were more alert than the majority of the Descendant races of Iblees's activities. When the Ironborn dynasty fell a few months before the year 1300 (commencement of LotC 1.0) they realized Iblees would likely step up his plans.
They were soon approached by a figure calling himself the Radiant Man, who promised them both heightened power and a solution to the threat posed by Iblees. A few of the Spellcrafters joined the Radiant Man and from him received powers akin to those received when one follows an aengudaemon. With him they traced the history of the Forgotten Dwarves. They uncovered the Hall of a Kal'Varak and sent many of its tomes back to Rivel for study. There they learned the location of the Hall, and traveled north. At this point they found the Seal's flaw: it required souls for power and the entirety of the Forgotten Dwarven civilization had not been enough.
The Radiant Man encouraged his followers to repair and activate an army of constructs built by the Forgotten Dwarves. The construct army attacked Rivel and massacred most of the population. They were driven back and destroyed, but the city was left in chaos. When Rivel marched to the Hall in retaliation they found the giant door shut, the way sealed, and no signs of life.
Rivel was destroyed with the fall of Aegis. The city was mostly held together, magically floating over the abyss, but without food they were doomed to starve. The Spellcrafter Archon, leader of Circle of Governance that ruled the city, acted in desperation and sacrificed the surviving traumatized underclass in order to survive as a creature analogous to a lich.
