Notes

• All NPC Knights are derived from Knights of the Wood: The Duke’s Tourney.
• Since Dolmenwood may be found in any setting, details like Kindred and House of foreign knights are left to the Referee to decide.
• The generator keeps track of PC knights who advance, so that they can show up in later rounds. However, it does not track NPC knights who advance. The Referee may have to override some generated knights, especially in the Semifinals and Finals rounds, to maintain continuity.
