When the armies of the Whispering Tyrant marched on Lastwall, the keeps and cities may have fallen, but its people and their spirit did not falter!

This book presents information on the Knights of Lastwall organization, from joining the ranks, to knightly training, to the missions to protect the innocent and defeat evil. The book also features new rules content including new equipment, magic items, spells, and support for Knights of Lastwall archetypes for players who want to play a knight in their campaigns!

I’m the Paladin Lady, and I Approve this Message


This is everything I wanted from a knightly order of paladins. Seeing a powerful trans lesbian paladin on the covered rendered in such dignity is more meaningful to me than this short review can convey. Thank you all for writing this.


A delight

5/5

Rpobably one of my favourite Lost Omens books to date. In a landscape saturated by grimdark, having a faction of people desperately trying to be good and learn from their mistakes is heartening and lovely to read.

The knights are given depth and care that good factions are often not afforded, the new deity options added and their write ups are stellar. The Kazutal and Arazni set up got me pretty emotional.

The exapansions to the archetypes are also fantastic and dancing shield is a game changer! I recommend this to everyone I know <3


Imperfect, but fun

3/5

The website ate a much longer review, so to be brief:

This book adds considerable depth to a faction I wasn't originally interested in, enough so that I'd now gladly play a character from them or an AP surrounding the group. The order's allies all beg to be played as, which is a huge success. All of the new deities are great.

But other parts of it are something of a letdown. The art quality is much more variable than I'm used to in PF2, especially in the deities chapter. The queer representation feels a little messy in places, with more attention paid to characters' genders than much else about them and a significant emphasis placed on the Knights as a safe space for queer characters - at least for this trans lesbian, I felt a little frustrated with how shallow and fixated-on this element felt. A deeply compelling plot hook from the Character Guide, the presence of undead within the ranks protected by a divine force who sees their penitence, is utterly missing here.

The book is solid, and made me care enough to welcome a Knights of Lastwall AP some day, but it falls a little short of the other highs in the Lost Omens line for me. YMMV.


2/5

From players side this book is OK. From GM's side this book is a dissapointment.

If you have already read Gods and Magic and Last Watch, this book won't give you much. A lot of the information here are just reprints.

There are no maps or adventure locations (just super shallow and generic descriptions of a few places).

At the bare minimum I was hoping for a map of Vellumis or Ruins of Vigil at least.

There is just a single map of the region which is the same one as we have already seen (it is a blank empty map with locations only at the boarders and bulk of the map is just empty void). If you compare it to the map of Ustalav from Rule of Fear (1e) - it doesn't stand a chance.

As a setting book - Rule of Fear is strightly supperior and Knights of Lastwall can not compare. It also pales in comparision with the Book of the Dead.

Art on the cover is amazing, but that can't be said about a lot of the art in the book.

A lot of known characters which have been depicted in different products looks realy embarasingly pathetic in this book which is sad (The Whispering Tyrant, Ulthun, Iomedae, Kazutal, Milani, Ragathiel, Sarenrae). Personally this art style does not work for me and I would be embarassed to show it to my players.

Somehow a namless NPC blacksmith (page 14) or Whispering Way Cultist (page 21) looks much more regal and godlike and cool than the gods in this book. Which is beyond me.

Aylunna Varvatos, Veena Heliu and Gendowyn - their art is amazing.

TLDR: Paizo, for the love of the gods - give us quality maps in your setting books, please (and no cheating like with Redoubt of the Red Crusader from Vigil used as Absalom Undercity)!

I think there's a good chance that, whoever the Crimson Reclaimers think they're working for, they're wrong.

It's Aroden obviously.

Yup, this way we find out finally that Ragathiel was CE all along.

But...the Crimson Reclaimers are good in alignment right? I mean, their fighting a shadow war against one of the most horrific evils the Inner Sea has ever known (aka the Whispering Tyrant) to reclaim their fallen Kingdom...right?

I believe they are Good, but TBH any alignment would work for Fighting a shadow war against the Mythic Lich to reclaim your fallen kingdom.

I think Isabelle has also done a fantastic job with Lastwall stuff, both flavour- and mechanics-wise! :)

So, obligatory conversation starter: who would your Knight of Lastwall PC be?

Mine is the younger sister of the Captain of Castle Everstand. Was training to be his Castellan, but then the Radiant Fire happened.

Gave up Iomedae worshipping because of the whole thing. Had several nervous breakdowns before taking a trip to Holomog to recover, and coming across Mazludeh (who much better fits with her ethos; from preventing infighting because it distracts from the cause, to the best offense being an untouchable defense, and home is where the heart is) and becoming a Champion of that deity.

Anthe Gauntwood is out there shield-bashing her way back to her legacy!

-----

I should mention that's my 2nd PC from Lastwall, my first was my 1e Angelfire Apostle of Sarenrae, Rose. Rose is an effective wielder of the puppy dog eyes of pleading, and the "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed" voice.

So excited for more info! *bounces happily in anticipation of next year*

During GenCon we found out that this will feature additional options for non-KoL (but still adjacent) archetypes, such as marshal and cavalier, so that's fun.


Any addition to the marshal archetype probably decreases chances for a warlord class :(

I’m very excited about this book. What is even better (for my Gravelands campaign) is that this follows in the footsteps of Book of the Dead! More undead + more lore on Knights; what else do I need? :D

Is the book going to list actual knight hierarchy, meaning ranks and titles? I hope so, and also would love to see a lot of information on ”pre-Gravelands” era knight chapters/orders, such as the one featured so prominently on Oblivion Oath. Jason seemed to imply that are literally dozens (if not even hundreds) of different factions/orders within the Knights of Ozem. It’d be amazing if this book detailed at least the most eccentric and obscure ones (i.e. the ”most interesting ones" from a GM’s perspective): their history, customs, heraldry, and order-specific items, archetypes, feats and rituals.

It’d also be great if the art in this book featured rank insignia, coats-of-arms of Lastwall's major noble families and heraldry of various Knight orders/factions (symbols and badges).

Naturally, considering the nature of this book, I’d expect to get descriptions of uniforms, too; for example, how rank and awards are displayed, how different factions/chapters/orders display their badge, differences in Knight and Lastwall military uniforms (if any), and so on.

Speaking of that, I’m honestly a bit confused about how the Lastwall military worked, and what role did the Knights have in it, especially in relation to the ”other branches” of the armed forces. Was it as a separate organization akin to special forces, as commanders to ground forces and/or cavalry, or was it something else? Also, was the Lastwall cavalry part of the Knights, or the Knights part of the Lastwall cavalry? And yet, did the Lastwall cities have city guard or city watch forces, or did the Knights and/or the Lastwall army handle those responsibilities?

Finally, a short city guide + a map of Vellumis (and any other remaining Knight strongholds) would be fantastic. :)

I have been reading what I can about the Knights of Lastwall and am getting excited about this book. Hopefully we will see what other divine powers are interested in helping and sponsoring these knights.


I am playing a paladin of Ragathiel right now that wants to go into the archetypes, reclaimant so far.

Hoping that I get to find out what happened to Castle Everstand. It was such a cool place, it would be a shame to let it just be an overrun undead haven now.

Hoping some Arazni love sneaks into this one.


Looks interesting, I'll look for this for the new toys if nothing else. I'm still hoping Ustalav or Numeria will get some love but that's me.

Smart money’s on the Impossible Lands coming next - though bits of Geb can be ripped off for Ustalav, and likewise the Mana Wastes for Numeria.

I’d gladly welcome some Numeria love in 2e.

Impossible Lands is definitely coming soon. One of the Paizo staff accidentally revealed it during GenCon when they mentioned something related to that book and they named the Impossible Lands book during the stream. I think it was during the AP stream, if I remember correctly. I'm guessing they are holding off on announcing it officially until PaizoCon '22.


That’s why the smart money is on that guess, yes :p

I'm interested in an Impossible Lands book, but the ones I am truly after is The Broken Lands and Saga Lands books, the northern regions of Avistan are some of my favorite.

Of course, if the Immpossible Lands details some of the nations south of Geb, like I don't know Holomog, I'd be VERY interested.

My Dream book though is Southern Garund, because PaiZO KEEPS TEASING ME WITH DROON!

We’re getting some more Holomog in Blood Lords, I believe! But I’ll take any Southern Garund I can get.

I know this isn't promised but I'm thinking of how an Impossible Lands book could be on the level of the Mwangi Expanse book, because arguably there is a lot less when it comes to nation wise to go over, but it would be interesting if it had sections on Ghorans, and the races mentioned in the Vudra Dossier in the Sixty Feet Under part of the Agents of Edgewatch AP for Jalmeray.

I have a player who is going to be *stoked* to have more options for playing a knight, whatever form they take.

Not that interested in this one myself personally but I know a friend will love this so I might get it as a very late B-Day gift.

Very eager to see some of those undead we know are among the Knights' ranks. I'm glad we're getting some more non-Evil undead in 2e.

I am so very much looking forward to this one -- our 1ED campaign centered on the world wound and the surrounding areas, it will be just epic to return to Lastwall in 2E style!

I'm guessing from the fact that Ly'ualdre is posting chapter titles that the pdf has gone out to subscribers, so I would imagine no. They've never distributed the pdf before they were ready to distribute the physical copies.

Thesre are not real chapter titles.. At least I don't think so.


I think that the presented chapter titles are supposed to be humorous.
