^Erinyes Company? Is this a company of people seeking to become Erinyes (like a certain nearly extinct Sisterhood in Westcrown), or a company of Erinyes that managed to get long-term residence on Golarion?
The Eyrines Company are a bunch of former Gray Maidens that pledged loyalty to Abrogail after Ileosa's death. They were mentioned in the Gray Maidens article in the second book of Shattered Star.

This might have been asked before, but any spells show up here?

There's a few. ^_^
Brand of conformity - target loses racial/ethnic languages
Brand of hobbling - target's speed is halved
Brand of tracking - lets you learn the creature's location 2/day
Infernal challenger - summons a barbazu for a duel
Shackle - summon restraints, either in hand or on a touched creature
Wow. That third one is kind of baller in the sense "Hey I think I can fight a devil!" *PC dies*

One particularly interesting spell, Infernal Challenger, provides a moral loophole for administering the Hellknight test. That spell summons a Bearded Devil who will attempt to kill the creature designated as its challenger. The Bearded Devil will remain to do that until a condition that ends the fight is met, at which point it disappears. The summoner cannot give the devil any specific orders.
The loophole is that casting this spell is an evil act (and has the Evil descriptor) if it is used for any purpose other than administering the Hellknight test -- so a lawful good Hellknight presumably could cast this spell to administer the test.

I'm still waiting to have this appear as a spell that some how the PCs end up triggering.
Well, a lawful evil Hellknight NPC who can cast this spell would have no compunctions about casting this spell against a PC foe -- although, admittedly, the conditions for ending that spell would be way too easy for a party of player characters to meet unless he can also bluff them into believing that something horrible would happen to anyone who interferes with the "duel".
I meant more like a trap spell like "Hey look this spell summons a cute bunny rabbit!" Not. ;) Or something similar.
I suppose somebody could rig a trap that isolates one party member from the others and then casts that spell with the victim as the designated foe. If properly designed, the only conditions for ending the spell that would still work would be the death of the bearded devil, the death of the victim, or (if the victim can somehow hold the devil at bay indefinitely) the expiration of the spell duration.
That was kind of the idea, yes David.

May we get some hints as to what the Godclaw oracle mystery is like?
And does the book make it seem like an Infernal bloodline Bloodrider or Steelblood bloodrager could become a Hellknight? The whole 'rage' aspect seems like it'd stand in the way.
Bloodragers and Skalds (and even Viking Fighters) aren't restricted from being Lawful, even though Barbarians for some strange (legacy) reason are; no reason Lawful people can't have rage (they even have a spell named Order's Wrath). Actually, I'd like to see a Hellknight Shock Trooper (or Stormtrooper) archetype of Barbarian (probably some kind of hybrid of Armored Hulk and Urban Barbarian, which are not normally compatible).

Weird.
What are the Orders on the cover? I don't recognize the far left and middle, but pretty sure mid-left is Scourge, Mid-right Godclaw and far right Nail.
Is the middle Rack?
can anyone give some information on the Order of the Glyph ?
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Has anyone heard what parts of this will be PFS legal yet?Nothing's been announced yet on that front.
Hopefully as much as possible.
The Hellknight PRC as it stands is a confused mess mishmash between Paladin and Fighter and subpar at both, only played by the faithful who love them despite their shortcomings :p

Expectation Management: if you don't think the Hellknight prestige class is up to snuff, this book won't do a ton to help.

Oh my.
I may be headed to Disappointmentville on the express train.

Do they describe them as having any set motif to their armor ?
** spoiler omitted **
Why does that make me think Lyssala ?

It's much more of a reference to their (sort-of) patron Geryon, who has a similar visual motif. Given her historical obscurity, it's unlikely that they even know who Lissala is. (What Geryon knows is another matter entirely...)

Now why would they do that? There is no shortage of bad intentions. ;)

Because Devils would probably enjoy leading the righteous and just down the path of Damnation and that road probably always starts with the excuse that an evil act was "for the greater good".

Ah, "for the greater good." The four most dangerous words in the English language.

No, that's the four most evil words. The four most dangerous are "What does this do?"
You both forgot "What if.....?"
That's only two words, not four...
;p

I've always felt that "Here, hold my beer" was a strong contender for most dangerous.

I believe every dwarf ever has also said that as well Gor. ;)
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.And I'm sure the product addresses that.
Of that I have no doubt. I think Paizo has already well established a link between diabolism and the Hellknight Orders.
Also, it may be just me, but holy hell does that armor those Hellknights are wearing on the cover look tough as nails to put on.
I wish Paizo had included the Fast-Donning Straps armor accessory (or something similar) from the Races of Stone book of Wizards of the Coast.
Maybe then armor wouldn't be such a pain to endure for Fighters.

Armor Training (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, a fighter learns to be more maneuverable while wearing armor. Whenever he is wearing armor, he reduces the armor check penalty by 1 (to a minimum of 0) and increases the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed by his armor by 1. Every four levels thereafter (7th, 11th, and 15th), these bonuses increase by +1 each time, to a maximum –4 reduction of the armor check penalty and a +4 increase of the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed.
In addition, a fighter can also move at his normal speed while wearing medium armor. At 7th level, a fighter can move at his normal speed while wearing heavy armor.
Also, Armor Master's Handbook has the Quick Donning advanced armor training feature, whereas you can swap out your -1 ACP + Max Dex for ability to don and discard armor faster and with a chance for no penalties at all.
