After Tar-Baphon escaped his imprisonment and laid waste to Lastwall in 4719 AR, the few surviving Knights of Ozem who survived that onslaught rededicated themselves to helping Lastwall's remaining citizens escape and to finally ending the lich-king's life: they renamed themselves the Knights of Lastwall.1

History

Knights of Ozem

The Knights of Ozem were a knightly order dedicated to the goddess Iomedae based in Lastwall's capital of Vigil. They first rose to prominence when they helped defeat Tar-Baphon during the Shining Crusade in the 39th century AR.234

Fall of Lastwall

In 4719 AR, Lastwall fell to the forces of the newly freed Whispering Tyrant, becoming the undead-haunted wasteland known as the Gravelands. The Knights of Ozem rebranded themselves as the Knights of Lastwall and have continued to fight the tide of undead despite overwhelming odds.5

Organization

Since the fall of Lastwall and the loss of their headquarters in Vigil, members of the Knights of Lastwall now meet in temporary camps or councils to discuss strategy.6 The organization's new headquarters since 4719 AR is Vigil's Hope in Absalom.7

Members

Since their rededication, the most prominent Knights of Lastwall include Avalorex, the mysterious soothsayer; Clarethe Iomedar, the first to swear the Crimson Oath; and Watcher-Lord Ulthun II, former leader of Lastwall.6

Factions

The Knights of Lastwall contain many factions but two stand out as the most prominent, the Shining Sentinels and Crimson Reclaimers. The Reclaimers have drawn considerable scrutiny for the strange powers they wield and the rumours of undead amongst their number who have managed to retain their mind and personality.1

Mission

The goals of the Knights of Lastwall revolve around the reclamation and rebuilding of Lastwall. Secondary objectives include the ultimate destruction of Tar-Baphon and his minions, and to a lesser extent, protecting the Inner Sea region from undead in general.6
