All 24 Sovereign Tower Knights (Patch 1.0.11)

Spoilers. Recruit routes are story beats. Everything below Act 1 gives away how a thread resolves.

The full roster

Knight Joins How to recruit Meals Romance Evolves
Alwena Any act Send your entire Round Table out on quests, then check the empty table in the afternoon — she turns up offering to help. She only takes quests that last a single cycle, and on multi-knight quests she can only be slotted in last, so someone else always goes with her. 2 Yes
Angelica Act 1 She is with you from the opening of the game — no conditions. 2
Ari Act 3 In Act 3, ask Rodrik and Gotfrig about getting a griffin. They point you at their younger brother. 2
Arron After the Dragon Knight Defeat the Dragon Knight. He then introduces his great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson. 2 Yes
Brunhilda Act 2 Either land a critical success negotiating with the princess of Gavault, or rewind and tell Mathilda you already know who it is and want an audience. She arrives the next cycle if your audacity is high enough. 2 Yes
Chester Act 1–2 When he tells you about the eggs, send Angelica to befriend the goose. On the follow-up quest send Gwendan, who steals them. When Chester comes back, ask about the goose being lonely and he asks to join. All 6
Childeric Almor tournament He begs you to throw the competition. Win it anyway and he asks to join your table instead. 2
Daguez Act 2 When the Act 2 rebellion breaks out you get three responses. Pick the one that knights one of the rebels at your table. The rebellion is not guaranteed — players who kept every population group satisfied never saw it. It appears to need one satisfaction meter to fall below 20. 3
Dulahan After Goberto dies If Goberto is killed, Dulahan arrives at court within a couple of cycles. For the related achievement, Goberto needs to die on a quest involving heights, which triggers the unexpected outcome where he falls. All 6 Yes
Edith Act 2–3 Speaking to the archmage of Moonvale, ask whether anyone has both dragon knowledge and mage abilities. Edith arrives the next cycle. The player who documented this route flagged it as the way it worked for them, and reported seeing other accounts. Treat it as one confirmed route, not the only one. 1 Yes
Epicrate Trial sequence When you are asked about transporting him, break him free instead if your audacity is high enough. The alternative route is proving him innocent at the trial. The player documenting this broke him out and only reported the trial route second-hand. 2
Gideon Act 2 He wanders into your court on his own in Act 2. 2 Yes
Goberto Act 1 He wanders into your court on his own in Act 1. 3 Yes
Gothild Act 1–2 Resolve the Enberg murder trial in the direction that implicates Victoria. Killing Victoria frees Gothild to join you. You can also defeat Victoria early and pick Gothild up inside the first two acts. 2
Gwendan Act 1 He wanders into your court on his own in Act 1. If you send him away over his debts he eventually comes back with a new look and rejoins the table. 2 Yes Yes
Ligia Lamp questline Run her questline, investigate the markets rather than the island, then buy or steal the magic lamp. If you steal it, be honest with her about it. Hand the lamp over when she asks and she joins once her father is healed. An earlier account described winning the lamp quest inside a three-cycle deadline and rewinding when someone else finds it first. Both routes end with the lamp in her hands; the market route is the one that was confirmed step by step. 2 Yes
Oliver Act 2 In the opening minutes a knight tries to kill you. Spare him. He wanders into your court in Act 2. Players report he should appear around cycle 19 on a run where you never struck the knight, but at least two players who spared him did not see him arrive. If you hit the knight with the stone even once on a save, expect to rewind. 2 Yes Yes
Rufus Act 3 Rufus is not recruited separately — he is what the Wolf becomes. With the Wolf on your table, finish the remove-the-curse quest in Groveshire and Belladonna the witch cures him. 2
Silgur Late Act 1 Take the "kill the beast" quest in Groveshire. He wanders into court afterwards. 2
Tarcus Act 2 After Mathilda asks for help storming the revolt fort in Gavault, Tarcus arrives right behind her and offers his services. 2
The Wolf Act 1–2 Send Angelica on the Groveshire "kill the beast" quest. Her companion does not matter. The beast visits the court on the following cycle. 2
Ursula Act 2 Arrives during the main story rather than through a side condition. 2 Yes Yes
Victoria Enberg trial Comes out of the Enberg murder trial — the branch where you do not pin it on her. 2
Zolta Act 2–3 Play through the Kutnar questline and win the final tournament with a high-tier participant such as the Wolf, accept Kutnar's minimum-tax tradeoff, then hire Zolta for 250 gold. Alternatively, cheat on the second challenge — Zolta compliments your artistry and asks to work with you. 2

Roster checked:

Knights you can lock yourself out of

Four entries on that table are not simply "harder". They are decisions that close another door, and a rewind is the only way back.

Who is worth prioritising

This site does not publish a stat tier list, because ranking 24 knights S-to-D would mean inventing numbers it cannot verify. What the data does support is narrower and more useful:

Servants and staff

These are not Round Table knights and cannot be sent on quests, but they appear in the ending slides and four of them can be romanced.

NameRoleRomanceNotes
Arlin Steward Unlocks meals. Fixed farewell slide.
The Lady of the Tower Tower spirit Yes Her prophecy is a named achievement (A True Love Kiss).
Carina Staff Yes Farewell slide changes on romance.
Belladonna Witch Yes Recruiting the witch is an achievement. She is the one who cures the Wolf into Rufus.
Sagadin Staff Fixed farewell slide.
Rupin Staff Fixed farewell slide.
Rowan Staff Yes Farewell slide changes on romance.
The Demon Crypt demon Powers the rewind. Never gets a farewell slide, whatever you do.

Where this comes from

The roster count was reached two ways that agree: the six-meal table lists 24 knights by name, and a creator walkthrough of every recruit has 24 named chapters. Recruit routes come from a player who documented them at 30 hours in, plus corrections posted underneath. Where that player hedged, the hedge is printed in the table rather than smoothed away.
