Pathfinder Tales: Hellknight

[logic_poet]

So I spotted this item as the last novel in the 2015 catalog pdf, and searching the ISBN, Amazon says that Liane is the author. Woot! Will it tie into either of this year's Cheliax Adventure Paths? Which Hellknight order? And who's in it that we've seen before?

[Liane Merciel]

Shhh, that hasn't been formally announced yet. ;)

But since you seem to have uncovered the Super Secret Unrevealed Project already (and the Amazon placeholder listing is up, so I guess the cat's at least poking its nose out of the bag):

Spoiler:

There aren't any overt links to either Hell's Rebels or Hell's Vengeance (as far as I'm aware), but it's possible that players and GMs may find some of the background information useful for adding color to their campaigns. (I certainly hope they do, anyhow!)

There are a couple of small connections to Council of Thieves, but nothing major or spoilery. If you've read or played that AP you may recognize some of the names; if not, it shouldn't compromise anything.

Three Hellknight orders get significant screen time (or at least their representatives do). A couple of others have cameos.

Of the three major characters in the story, one is new and two have appeared in previous works. I'm guessing there's a pretty good chance that the official description will tell you who they are, but for now I'll be obnoxiously coy and avoid naming names.

Awesome, I love the Hellknights

[Dave Gross]

Also it is excellent, the best of Liane's Pathfinder Tales in my inexpert opinion. And that was at least a full draft ago.

Oh oh!!! is it going to be a pathfinder tale set in Cheliax, with hellknights?

I am very intrigued.

[Kalindlara]

I'm super excited! I love Cheliax, and especially the Hellknights. ^_^

[Chris A Jackson]

The cat is out of the bag now... yes... a very good tale!

You're too kind. (Although I agree; at least it's the one that I like the best out of the Tales I've written.)

It wouldn't be half as good if you hadn't so kindly taken a red pen to the first version, though. And the second.

I honestly think that's going to go down in my life as one of those formative experiences people talk about. Like boot camp. ;)

Did he chase you, again, with a giant semicolon made of all the semicolons you used? XD

[Liane Merciel]

No, one time is all it takes for anyone to learn THAT lesson.

I still catch myself in the middle of typing out semicolons today and wince reflexively.

In manuscripts, anyway. In posts, pfft, nobody's paying to read these, what do I care if your eyes bleed?

Shouldn't this:

have been this:
