There are 24 reported Sovereign Tower Knights, but one timeline cannot seat them all. Build a balanced Round Table within the reported Act limits, reserve seats for route-specific recruits, and verify disputed conditions in your current run before sacrificing a developed roster for a candidate whose trigger may differ.
How Many Knights Are Available
The supplied roster sources agree on 24 recruitable names: Alwena, Angelica, Ari, Arron, Brunhilda, Chester, Childeric, Daguez, Dulahan, Edith, Epicrate, Gideon, Goberto, Gothild, Gwendan, Ligia, Oliver, Rufus, Silgur, Tarcus, The Wolf, Ursula, Victoria, and Zolta. They do not always agree on Act labels, exact trigger wording, or whether one character is a transformation rather than a separate recruit. The count is well corroborated, while some individual routes remain To be confirmed.
Every Knight combines six visible stats with armour, equipment, traits, preferences, and affinity. That makes roster value contextual: a low total can hide a perfect Quest interaction, while a powerful generalist may be unavailable, dislike the work, or occupy a seat needed by a later branch. Recruit for different kinds of coverage rather than ranking the cast by one total.
Round Table Capacity
One detailed source reports six Round Table seats in Act 1, eight in Act 2, and ten in Act 3. Even the largest table therefore holds fewer than half of the reported cast. Because the same source says invited Knights cannot be dismissed normally, recruitment is a route decision as well as a collection task.
Leave room before triggering a conditional audience. Alwena's offer, Daguez's revolt response, and several paid or regional candidates can be wasted if the table is full when the decision arrives. A good planning note lists current seats, desired late recruits, mutually exclusive candidates, and the Knights whose story development you are unwilling to erase.
Rewind is not a free roster expansion. Returning to an earlier cycle can recover a missed trigger, but it also removes Knights, items, and progress gained after that point. Use separate runs or retained timeline knowledge for collection instead of assuming every branch can coexist in one final roster.
Early Recruits
Angelica is the opening Knight, while Goberto and Gwendan arrive through early candidacy events in the supplied accounts. Ursula is also described as an automatic early candidate without a prerequisite. These four establish a baseline table, but their traits and uneven stats make investigation and equipment more important than simply sending the newest arrival.
Several other early candidates belong to regional or Quest branches. The Wolf requires Angelica to produce a special result in the werewolf encounter, while Silgur comes from the alternative resolution in which the beast is killed by someone else. Brunhilda and Tarcus occupy opposing sides of the Gavault chain, and the detailed route descriptions tie them to daughter-side and mother-side decisions respectively.
Chester follows the Cleankeeper goose sequence and a particular second-stage result. The sources disagree about the exact matching rule: one account says to use Gwendan or a Knight carrying cheese, while another maps the egg description to Gwendan, a mounted Knight, or a cheese carrier. The exact Chester assignment is To be confirmed.
Dulahan is consistently linked to Goberto's death, and Arron follows resolution of the Dragon Knight encounter. The Wolf and Silgur are mutually exclusive outcomes of the same early beast line in the supplied routes. These candidates show why an apparently bad result can be a deliberate recruitment choice rather than a mistake.
Later and Conditional Recruits
Gideon appears through a later candidacy audience, with sources also reporting a Map Room fallback that costs 25 Gold. Oliver depends on sparing the opening attacker and then waiting for his later audience. Ligia belongs to the Southbay story and a timed lamp problem, although the exact use of rewind and her father's outcome should be checked against the current route.
Childeric follows victory in the Almor tournament, with both detailed sources warning against using Goberto for the decisive result. Zolta follows cheating in the Kutnar competition and then a paid recruitment audience. One source uses Tarcus throughout, while another says Tarcus or The Wolf can open the route; the universal trigger is To be confirmed.
Daguez appears when a severe satisfaction collapse leads to a revolt and the Sovereign chooses to knight one of its leaders. Alwena is reported to volunteer when the table has a free seat but every current Knight is unavailable. One source labels her Act as unrestricted, while another limits the offer to Act 2 or later and calls it a one-time chance, so the earliest valid timing is To be confirmed.
Act 3 reports add Epicrate through the Brimwood trial line, Edith through a Moonvale inquiry or Map Room option, Victoria through her invitation and trials, and Gothild through a murder investigation or alternate Victoria route. Ari is connected to the Basalt Isles succession audience and merchant-guild lead. These routes depend on earlier state, so preserve a free seat and read the audience text before spending Gold or committing a specialist.
Mutually Exclusive Routes
The first major roster split is Groveshire against Gavault. Supplied route notes place The Wolf and Silgur behind Groveshire and Brunhilda and Tarcus behind Gavault. Within each regional line, The Wolf conflicts with Silgur, while Brunhilda conflicts with Tarcus because each represents a different resolution.
Later knowledge may open an alternative way through an earlier conflict, and New Game Plus is reported as another collection path. That does not mean the resulting states all merge into one table. Treat each timeline as a chosen team and use later runs to see the candidates excluded by the first decision.
Rufus is the largest identity conflict in the supplied material. One source calls him The Wolf after a cure, while another calls Rufus a genuine recruit with both a research route and a Wolf-related candidacy route. Whether every route treats Rufus as a transformation, a separate seat, or both is To be confirmed.
Recruitment Conflicts
Do not convert community route notes into hidden formulas. Alwena's Act restriction, Chester's egg clues, Zolta's acceptable cheater, and the exact Rufus relationship disagree across the provided accounts. Those disputes are preserved here because choosing one version without evidence could cost a seat or an entire regional branch.
Timing language also varies. Arron is labeled Act 2 in one roster but described elsewhere as joining when the Dragon Knight fight closes Act 1, and Alwena is labeled both Any Act and Act 2 or later. Use the event description as the reliable anchor and treat the displayed Act classification as To be confirmed.
Finally, recruitment is only the beginning. Meals, conversations, preferred Quest types, sovereign style, and assignment outcomes affect affinity, while some characters can leave or change permanently. A roster plan should therefore protect relationships and story goals as carefully as it protects empty seats.
