I had this idea in my head that the hell rebels or maybe hells vengeance was going to feature an Iomedeadan group called "The Glorious Reclamation" that was leading the rebellion against house Thrune.
I was about to start working on some artwork for player handouts or just or fun for the next AP, based on this idea, but when I searched the web and forums i can't find anything.
I'm convinced I heard it somewhere? Did i imagine this, am I going crazy?

The Glorious Reclamation is the group of upstart Iomedae worshiping crusaders that the PC villains are facing off against in Hell's Vengeance. Their actions help to, in a roundaobut way, trigger Hell's Rebels, but the group itself has no role or presence IN Hell's Rebels; the PCs in Hell's Rebels are very much not the Glorious Reclamation, since Kintargo's rebels skew toward chaotic good first of all, and because we didn't want to hard-code that amount of crossover into the Adventure Paths.
There'll be a little bit of info about the Glorious Reclamation soon in Hell's Rebels, but not more than a few sentences. They're going to be covered more fully next year during "Hell's Vengeance," but more as an antagonist group against PCs and not so much as a group FOR players to join.
Hell's Rebels player's guide should be out late next month; it's one of the larger player's guides we've done, so you should at the very least wait for that to come out before spending too much time preparing player handouts for Hell's Rebels. In any event, Glorious Reclamation themed handouts will either go to waste in Hell's Rebels or will require you to make some EXTENSIVE revisions to the nature of the Adventure Path AND wait 6 more months to start getting actual info about the group.
The rebels in Hell's Rebels are the Silver Ravens, ALSO a new group, but one who will have much more info to check out for PCs very shortly.
Thanks James, that's just the info I was after
It makes a lot of sense to keep the two AP's as separate as possible. But some people, myself included, might want a stronger connection between the two. Once Hell's Vengeance starts publishing could we possibly see some kind of appendix with advice on how to add more connections between Rebels and Vengeance? For example, how to use the Glorious Reclamation in Hell's Rebels. PC's of a more Lawful bent may want to be involved with the Glorious Reclamation, after all.

You'll probably need to do that on your own for the most part, once all 12 volumes are out in mid 2016. We'll provide a LITTLE advice on combining the two if we can for both AP's Concluding the Adventure sections... but the way things are set up, I really don't think that mixing the two, or bolstering the presence of the Glorious Reclamation in Kintargo, makes much sense. Kintargo is not a big Iomedae city; we made the choices we made for a LOT of reasons including the fact that they don't overlap much geographically OR religiously.
