The crusader nation of Mendev needs reinforcements!
After a long year of fighting the demonic hordes of the Worldwound, the righteous crusaders of Mendev are at a breaking point. Messengers travel far and wide, requesting aid from any who are willing to provide.
Lord Califax Pontus of the nation of Lastwall has taken it upon himself to muster a host, preparing to march to Mendev’s aid. Lord Pontus’ host is a widely varied bunch. Soldiers and Men-at-Arms from his own personal retinue, as well as peasants seeking adventure and glory. Foreign adventurers and mercenaries looking to earn some coin and gain access to the fabled riches of the Worldwound’s demonic strongholds. Clergy members and arcane scholars, criminals seeking pardon for their service. All walks of life are welcome among Lord Pontus’ host.

Summary
Lastwall was founded with a single purpose in mind, and that ancient purpose still drives much of life today. The nation was founded to keep watch over the Whispering Tyrant, Tar-Baphon, at the end of the decades-long war known as the Shining Crusade. The Shining Crusade ended with the defeat of Tar-Baphon, but the victorious crusaders could not utterly destroy him. Instead they imprisoned him beneath his cursed capital of Gallowspire. Lastwall was founded after this to ensure that the Whispering Tyrant would never escape his eternal prison.
Geography
Lastwall is a nation marked by both impressive geographical features and regions of danger. It is located on the western shores of Lake Encarthan, the largest fresh water lake in Avistan. Lastwall's largest city, Vellumis, sits on Encarthan's banks. To its north, just across the border with Ustalav, lie the Hungry Mountains. To the south lies the Fangwood, the majority of it lies within neighbouring Nirmathas.[5] Despite these regions of bountiful natural resources, Lastwall is bordered by two incredibly dangerous areas. To the west lie the lands of the Hold of Belkzen, a barren region of dusty plains filled with savage hordes of war-loving orcs. To the north, nestled in the Hungry Mountains, lies the Ustalavic province of Virlych. This desolate region is home to Gallowspire, the prison of Tar-Baphon, and is inhabited only by the restless dead. All saner inhabitants have long since abandoned this desolate land.
Inhabitants
The inhabitants of Lastwall are mainly human, but are willing to accept people of any race who are dedicated to their cause. The people of Lastwall are hardy and friendly, especially towards any heroic crusaders who have come to help defend their land, or assist Lastwall's government in maintaining its vigil over Gallowspire. Lately, fewer of these brave individuals have been emigrating, instead heading north to Mendev to hold back the ever-encroaching horrors of the Worldwound. This lack of new recruits to Lastwall's cause is a matter of much concern amongst its government and residents. Some fear that if there is no influx of new blood, Lastwall will eventually fall to the orc hordes that lie across its western border.
