Hell's Rebels And PFS

[BlackOuroboros]

Quick questions,

Can we expect at some point that the outcome of the Hell's Rebels AP (detailed spoilered below) will become canon? Most of the time, the outcomes of APs have pretty limited effect on the overall game world but this one is a bit of a doozy and could have some pretty major political ramifications in the Inner Sea region.

Hell's Rebels Spoilers:

Ravounel has broken free of Cheliax and formed an independent political state.

I suspect that this will not be the case any time soon, since it might not be appreciated if PFS starts to give out spoilers to the ends of various adventure paths (and some of the bad endings... would have effects on large parts of the world).

Someone with more accurate information is free to correct my understanding.

I believe each AP is a standalone parallel Golarion universe. So the things that occur throughout them and the ultimate result of each has no bearing on further APs. PFS is treated similarly, in that what occurs in APs doesn't necessarily apply to PFS. However, there is some bleed over between certain APs and PFS. For example, Season 5 and Wrath of the Righteous have a lot of cross over. But the events of Shattered Star aren't actually in Season 4.

Think of them all like pocket universes. With each AP being it's own, and PFS being it's own, larger and more complicated one.

All that said, I doubt that your spoiler will be integrated into PFS--although it would be neat!

I believe that Shattered Star assumes that Rise of the Runelords happened and is a direct sequal, other than that though Walter is correct.

Shattered Star also assumes that the events of Curse of the Crimson Throne and Second Darkness happened (and were successfully resolved by the heroes) IIRC.

To be honest if they included Hell's Rebels into the history they would also have to include the sequel Hell's Vengeance

Hell's Vengeance:

If the heroes are successful they beat the rebels and save the people from the horrible influence of the Glorious Reclamation.

Hell's Rebels and Hell's Vengeance:

Well, Hell's Rebels and Hell's Vengeance are canonically separate; the one doesn't negate the other. They actually spell out in the two APs that you are specifically NOT countering the other and that Cheliax is just having a REALLY bad time at the moment dealing with two rebellions at once. As far as PFS canon goes, it would actually be really easy to ignore or gloss over Hell's Vengeance because, frankly, it becomes a historical footnote of an internal Chelish dispute that is put down; a new country on the map is a different matter all together.
