History of Lastwall

The Knights of Ozem form Lastwall, a protectorate of Taldor, to watch over Gallowspire.

The Taldan governor in charge of Cheliax, taking advantage of Taldor’s focus on its Qadiran border, declares the province independent from the empire and places himself upon the newly created Chelish throne as Aspex the Even-Tongued. Andoran, Galt, and Isger are annexed as part of Cheliax in the following years. This decade-long power grab becomes known as the Even-Tongued Conquest, and greatly undermines Taldan influence throughout western Avistan. Lastwall declares neutrality in the conflict, effectively becoming an independent nation.

The Whispering Tyrant obliterates Vigil, escapes Gallowspire, and overruns Lastwall; he then relocates to the Isle of Terror, reclaiming his old holdings there. The orcs of Belkzen rebuff the Whispering Tyrant’s emissaries and unite to repel the lich’s vengeful forces. Most of the remaining holy champions in Mendev ride south to confront the lich, leaving Nerosyan under the rule of Chancellor Irahai.
