I was going over all pantheon info since 2014, and the kickstarter, and i noticed that in the kickstarter there is a race named "Revenant"
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1588672538/pantheon-rise-of-the-fallen/posts/731681
Faithless in life and bound by ancient rites, Revenants have been doomed to walk the lands of Terminus as the undead. Once nothing more than powerful spirits of atheistic warriors, the revenants are now powerful corpses bound to service through the use of Myraxian death magic. Due to their minds and bodies being dependent upon dark magic to sustain their forms, Revenants are most often malicious and psychotic, welcome traits for their original service as soldiers in Oranthel’s army of the damned. Now unchained from that service they are free to roam the world, but finding no refuge within mortal society, many have retained their sinister ways and continue to terrorize the living. Yet, there are those Revenant’s of strong will that have overcome their maddening desires to reap the living. These few have overcome great hardships to form a new life in undeath.
When the planar collisions brought the alien races onto Terminus, there were some who turned their backs on the belief of deities, preferring to live atheistic lives in a world filled with fragments of many pantheons. The unfortunate souls soon found that their lack of faith offered them no afterlife. Their souls came to drift in the winds of Terminus. It was not until the Maratan god of warfare, Oranthel, used an ancient Myraxian death ritual to raise an army of the undead that these homeless spirits found their new undead lives. Called Revenants, these new abominations were the backbone of the armies of Oranthel. After the defeat and exile of Oranthel following the Dragon March campaign, the Revenants became free of their arcane shackles, no longer forced into service. Unfortunately, with their brains rattled, rotting stench and decayed visage, they continued to be viewed as monsters to be feared and hunted. This led most of these undead to retain their malicious activities within the dungeons and dens of Terminus. However, a community of near civilized Revenants has risen in the far eastern caldera of the Dead Ridges. It is here in the ruins of another civilization that some Revenants hope to forge an undead society.
and this race missing from the current version, so why it got dumped? too emo? or is it kept as a secret surprise race?
You sre only reading part of the story.
Read the whole lore, in order. I was a vocal critic of the writing style at first, then my brain woke up and I realized just how good it really is. The lore story if quite good and the writing very high brow (which my then-lazy brain rejected wrongly at first).
Anyway, the Revenant were a corrupted spin-off. They are not a playable race but are basically an enemy species, like ghouls or zombies, etc.
They are now antagonists tied to the descended mortal named the Ravaging lord, and will probably be monsters from here.
I'll lead you to the lore parts about this :

Check the parts about the fate of the Gintos and the deicide war.
When people questioned Paladin's vs undead focus a while ago I believe revenants were brought up as undead which would provide paladins with undead to kill...pretty much the whole way through their lives/levels.
There's gonna be a lot of revenants imo, they're kind of a big deal...

Exactly. The Revenant are a huge part of Terminus. They're just not a playable race anymore. After the Kickstarter, there was a big turnover in the team, and with that, came in a lot of new and even better ideas as they refined their vision for the game. Many aspects of the game were overhauled, so it's usually best to just assume that anything you read on the Kickstarter is outdated.
