Characters
Knights may earn
great Glory for
slaying horrible
monsters, but they
spend most of their
time interacting
with characters
from every level
of feudal society.
This section presents Statistics for a wide
range of specific and general characters for
the Gamemaster to populate their version of
Arthur’s Britain.
Only the Skills, Traits, and Passions necessary
for gameplay are included in the stat blocks.
Gamemasters are otherwise free to add more
or change them.
