A new campaign setting from a new company, the Kingdoms Riven setting details a world whose human-dominant nations laid waste to one another with spells of unimaginable power. As the world buckled under the effects of their lunacy, the weakening of the dimensional walls caused by so much spellcasting in such a short space of time allowed demons from their abyssal plane a chance to wreak further havoc.
Now sixty years on, the scattered towns and settlements on the main continent that survived those chaotic days still endeavour to survive, and the actions of just one group of heroes can make all the difference!
About these books
The Kingdoms Riven Campaign Setting, at just over 150 pages long, has details on the six kingdoms that all but destroyed one another; Ecology, cosmology, maps, creatures, organisations, important NPCs and rules to handle the regions of the setting where the flow of magic is interrupted, intermittent and nonexistent.
The Kingdoms Riven Player's Handbook has three new races, three new base classes and three new prestige classes, and is just over 100 pages long. It has new feats, optional games rules, weapons and armour.
Both these books use computer-rendered art pretty exclusively throughout. Characters, equipment, objects and scenes are rendered using common, industry-standard 3D packages and purchased resources.
The Kingdoms Riven Campaign Setting and Kingdoms Riven Player's Handbook are both reasonably priced (arguably no bad thing at the moment!) at $9.99 and $6.99 respectively and available for a limited time in PDF format just here!

Thanks for the feedback ruemere, noted and much appreciated.
Sounds like a prototypical points of light setting. I don't think anyone has done one yet for Pathfinder.
The Kingdoms Riven, in theme, is indeed a very 'old school' style setting with large areas suitable for GM expansion, which was the aim.
With it being so open, the goal is to make the setting incredibly easy for the Games Master to drop in concepts, new locations, settings and organisations alongside what is in the books, without excessive overbearing detail that gets in the way of their game ideas. That's the plan anyway!
