The knighthaunt, named thusly by the Knights of Lastwall, is one such unexpected necromantic oddity. Knighthaunts rose where the most honorable of Lastwall’s defenders and those dedicated to the Shining Crusade fell to the minions of Tar-Baphon. Seen as an unexpected side effect of the Whispering Tyrant’s necromantic surge, some knighthaunts rose to continue battling the undead that plagued their lands, but many, overwhelmed by necromantic energies and the violent circumstances of their deaths, attack the living.Zombie Abyssal: While the closing of the Worldwound was a cause for celebration across Golarion, the scars it left behind remain a potent threat throughout the region. Abyssal energy taints the surrounding landscape and creatures, twisting and corrupting them, and these foul energies seep even into the bones of the dead.Those who suffer particularly cruel deaths at the hands of demons sometimes find one last cruelty in store as the latent energy from the sealed Worldwound ensnares their soul within their decaying flesh. This has led to the rise of a new form of undead; corpses animated by the trapped soul’s unrelenting anguish, amplified by the energies from the Abyss.Tainted Rot disease.Knighthaunt, Unexpected Necromantic Oddity, Ghostly Incarnation, Lost Soul: ?Zombie Abyssal, New Form of Undead, Corpse Animated by the Trapped Soul's Unrelenting Anguish Amplified by the Energies From the Abyss: ?Undead, Undead Creature, The Dead: ?Evil Undead: ?Powerful Undead: ?Incorporeal Undead: ?Corporeal Undead: ?Undead Variant Flensclaw: Legends also speak of an undead variant composed of human zombie arms.Undead Monstrosity: There are even rumors that the Whispering Way is trying to develop other varieties of Whispering Weed, including a variant capable of raising its victims as undead monstrosities, or gargantuan examples able to split and regenerate at a much faster rate.Undead Horror: ?Mindless Undead: ?Undead Guardian: ?Azara Trentol, Banshee, Most Trusted General: ?Vir-Abil, Devourer, Most Trusted General, General, Cruel Undead: ?Ghost: ?Ghost, Undead Monstrosity: ?Ghoul: Ghoul Fever disease.Brandt, Ghoul: ?Graveknight: ?Durzo Kalt, Graveknight, Most Trusted General, General: ?Tar-Baphon, The Whispering Tyrant, Most Powerful Lich, Lich, Wizard-King, Unique Lich, Exceptional Lich, Ancient Lich: One particularly dire theory supposes that the Negative Energy Plane itself comprises the Whispering Tyrant’s phylactery, meaning that ending his existence would fundamentally alter the planes.Tar-Baphon’s story is deeply entwined with that of Aroden, who slew the necromancer 3000 years ago only to enable the Whispering Tyrant’s rise millennia afterwards, transforming him into a unique lich of unrivaled power. Some speculate that the Tyrant’s phylactery is somehow tied to the Last Azlanti, resulting in further musing that Tar-Baphon might know something of Aroden’s death. For these theorists, the diamond sword Aroden used to slay Tar-Baphon is the most popular candidate for the Tyrant’s phylactery, although some consider numerous other relics and shrines.The concept of familial lichdom is not unknown on Golarion, with many necromancers utilizing the bodies of relatives in their pursuit of immortality. Tar-Baphon had no shortage of children, and likely has living descendants all across Golarion. One of them could be hiding the phylactery or may even be the phylactery.Tar-Baphon’s unique approach to lichdom may have enabled him to forgo the construction of a phylactery entirely, making his rejuvenation instead contingent upon some unknown factor on Golarion. He may continue to rise as worshippers of Aroden still live, or so long as his victims are grieved on Remembrance Moon. Given the sheer variety of undead across Golarion, the number of potential methods of rejuvenation are unfathomable.Lich: The concept of familial lichdom is not unknown on Golarion, with many necromancers utilizing the bodies of relatives in their pursuit of immortality.Socorro, Lich: ?Arazni, The Harlot Queen, Lich: ?Zutha, Lich: ?Phantom: ?Karamorros, Ravener Dragon: ?Revenant: ?Revenant, Undead Monstrosity: ?Skeletal Minion: ?Skeleton: ?Skeleton, Mindless Undead: ?Spirit of the Dead: ?Restless Spirit: ?Szakilia, Vampire Matron, Leader: ?Vampire: ?Leben, Powerful Wight: ?Wight: ?Human Zombie: ?Zombie, Mindless Undead: ?Ghoul Fever (disease) Saving Throw Fortitude; Stage 1 carrier with no ill effect (1 day); Stage 2 2d6 negative damage and regains half as many Hit Points from all healing (1 day); Stage 3 as stage 2 (1 day); Stage 4 2d6 negative damage and gains no benefit from healing (1 day); Stage 5 as stage 4 (1 day); Stage 6 dead and rises as a ghoul the next midnight.Tainted Rot (disease, necromancy); An infected creature cannot heal damage it takes from tainted rot until it has been cured of the disease.
