Its image is proudly and prominently displayed on the escutcheon of Excalibur. The twelve Knights of the Round Table serves as the central government of Twelvetrees. Traditionally, a balance of power has been kept where one member of each flight serves as a Knight, along with the wielder of Excalibur itself. However, there are no actual restrictions on who can become a knight; only that they are nominated, and the majority of the Knights on the Round Table agrees. Excalibur's vote alone counts as six votes. This means, that if all remaining seats are empty, the wielder of Excalibur can appoint by themselves at least one other Knight. It takes everyone else to disagree to oppose further appointments: An unlikely circumstance, since a Knight will always have been appointed by the wielder of Excalibur alone. Therefore, it is in the Knights' interest to keep the seats filled as much as possible. An unoccupied seat is known as the Siege Perilous, and despite convention, it is possible for a seat to remain unfilled for some time. The nomination period is fraught. Every Knight wants someone on their side to join the seat. However, because of the power of Excalibur's vote, currying favour with its wielder likely brings about the best rewards. Once a Knight is chosen, their name is carved into one of the twelve trees that surround Twelvetrees that gives it its name. They are then part of the governing body and a Knight of the table. A Knight, once chosen, is a Knight for life. The only way for them to be removed, is for them to commit a high crime, such as treason. Thus, an appointment to the Round Table is a coveted position, but an opening occurs only rarely.

The Knights of Excalibur meets in a keep with three tall towers high above the backdrop of Twelvetrees, sitting astride the Blood Tor. Its image is proudly and prominently displayed on the escutcheon of Excalibur.

The twelve Knights of the Round Table serves as the central government of Twelvetrees.

It is the place where the remnants of collapsed realities are buried.

Show No Mercy

Blightspoke is the inhospitable wasteland all around the heart of Twelvetrees. So close to the Wyrmwound, it is a poisoned land that literally seeps life out of any who enter its boundaries. It's a dumping ground of irradiated land and castles ravaged by plague and fire. It is the place where the remnants of collapsed realities are buried.

The original and most populous kingdom in Twelvetrees, those who visit this realm cycle through a seemingly endless amount of reality warping experiences.
