The King has died. The Knights are divided. Some took refuge in the Wastelands. They are all vying to be proclaimed "Protector of the Realm". The Tournament is what they all live for. Hearing the roar of the crowd inspires the Knight to dispatch his opponent, whether from the Realm or Wastelands. Come and cheer your favourite Knight onto Victory! Below are the Knights and other characters you will meet at Blades of Glory shows.
