The Revelationist Period

The Revelationist period of Greenstem followed the overthrowing of a reign of an inept leader of Greenstem and saw a resurgence of the Garfist ideology that existed directly following the Revelation of Lasagna. Politically, this saw the return of the "pure line" of the Greenstir family. The Applehien-Greenstir line had been declared illegitimate from its first split with Leonidas Applehien-Greenstir. This was shortly after a scandal within the royal family concerning incest and multiple allegations of filicide from the reigning Throne, is simp. The return of Gideon Greenstir came with the return of the original theocracy which existed in Greenstem since its inception. A relatively unknown member of the Goldencoat family, Louis Goldencoat III, came to Greenstem following a vision. Louis located the coveted Garf's Tail and returned it to Greenstem, restoring the city's grass, and erupting large walls made of entangled vines and leaves around the city, killing Louis in the process. The reformed Goldencoat church, now known as the New Church with the former entity being dubbed the Old Church, added new texts to the Garfist canon, and removed books with less credible origins. With these changes came new structure to the church, the founding of the Order of the Eternal Sunday, and a new pantheon. The New Church held the belief that a select few mortals had been so holy, their enlightenment brought them passed the Eternal Sunday and transformed them into new beings. These saints served as aspects of Garf himself, that when acting together would act as the Forgotten God. A number of miracles occurred throughout this period including several gifts being given by Garf himself outside of Garf’s Light and Eastern city of Brokenwaters.It is important to note that the Revelationist period is not only rediscovering of old religion, but also architecture, social hierarchy, and innovational culture. A notable amount of nostalgia for the United Kingdoms of Western Sparwood is seen, giving birth to the 'Neo-Leythean' architecture style. Seeing buildings like Goldencoat-Greenstir Palace in the style of old Leythean architecture. The invention of Dirigibles brought the popularization of flying vehicles that can be seen hovering above the city of Greenstem. The rise of the Borough of Garf’s Light saw the expansion of Greenstem’s city limits and a population boom. The incorporation of Vostok into Greenstem saw Vostoki culture mix with Tortugan and Garfist. Vostoki architecture, statues, fashion, music, and art mixed with Garfist religion, fashion, technology, and breadmaking.
