PlayCraft / Endless Legend 2 / Factions

Last Lords

Cursed knights in living armor who feed on Dust — a slow start for a terrifying late game.

Major faction

Overview

The Last Lords are refugees of the Broken Lords from the first Endless Legend — once-honorable knights whose cursed spirits are trapped inside their armor. They need Dust, the series' primary currency, to survive and expand, and few of them are awake at the start of a campaign.

Playstyle

A slow-burn elite faction. You start with few awakened Lords and must harvest Dust to wake more of them — or assimilate and drain minor factions. Weak in the early game, they become dominant late, especially as receding oceans open new chances to awaken those who still slumber.

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • Don't consume food — their economy runs on Dust
  • Tough in battle, and Last Lords are healed whenever a unit falls near them
  • Minor factions can be taxed, put to work, or drained of life force to resurrect more Lords
  • Strong late-game power spike as tidefalls reveal new opportunities

Weaknesses

  • Deliberately weak in the early game — only a few Lords are awake at the start
  • Dependent on Dust income and minor factions to grow; poor starts snowball badly

Unique mechanics

Dust sustenance

The Last Lords don't consume food or procreate like other factions. They need Dust to survive and expand — harvest it to wake more of the slumbering Lords, or assimilate minor factions and use other species to work in their cities.

Minor faction estates

The Last Lords can set up estates in minor faction villages that generate tax income or force the denizens to work in their cities. Minor factions can even be treated like food — their life force drained to resurrect more Last Lords.
