Sovereign Tower Assassinated Knights: What to Track

An assassination result is a timeline state, not just a lost unit: it can alter satisfaction, roster capacity, relationships, quest coverage, and later choices.

Short answer

Before committing to a risky quest, record the knight, visible danger, faction context, and whether a rewind could preserve a different outcome.

Treat death as a state change

  • Record the final task and assigned knight.
  • Note faction, relationship, and satisfaction context.
  • Check whether the death removes future quest coverage.
  • Save the last decision before the result if a rewind is available.
  • Compare the later timeline instead of assuming a reload-like recovery.

What not to promise

A high attribute is not proof that a knight cannot be assassinated. The current evidence does not establish one universal bodyguard, dialogue choice, or resource threshold that prevents every reported death.

A safer verification route

Use one controlled run to reproduce the reported result, then rewind once and change only the suspected choice or assignment. Keep the patch and end-screen wording in the note so a future guide can separate route logic from coincidence.

Evidence boundary

The research supports assassination as a meaningful route consequence, but it does not establish a universal trigger table or prevention recipe.

Verification status

Still to confirm: Replay the highest-risk death reports and record the exact task, choice, version, recovery, and epilogue effects.
