The vast majority of them are in Arthur's court at start, of course. Lancelot and Galahad are in their father's court in Benoic, Sagramor leads his own Brotherhood Horsemen mercenary company, Derfel starts off in Merlin's court, and IIRC there are a couple in King Lot's court as well.
Was Derfel meant to be anyone specific? I thought he was just a self insert by Cornwall in order to be able to get a diegetic reason for the book existing.
Cool, thanks. That explains why he's a christian, cuz i doubt Cornwell would ever make an OC of his have anything to do with them.

Notes:
- IMPORTANT: Be sure to completely delete all previous versions of BTWK before installing version 1.10.1. Not doing so will result in a corrupted installation that will almost certainly be unplayable.
- This version is compatible with any savegames start in version 1.10.0. Note, however, that it is NOT compatible with any savegames started in 1.9.x. - attempting to do so may result in any amount of strange and buggy behaviour.
- A reminder that the Portraits submod requires the Celtic, Norse, Mongol, Early Western, and Iberian Portraits, as well as Monks and Mystics and Holy Fury. Please ensure that you have all of the required portrait packs before activating, as otherwise you will face graphical issues.
- As usual, if you see any bugs, balance issues, or just weird behavior please feel free to report them so we can investigate and fix them.
The Franks need to be nerfed; they're horribly overpowered at the moment since they get both free event troops and a large number of call-in tributary allies.
Eh, i feel like their sufficiently powerful. I've practically always won against them when playing as the Soissons.
Especially if you smash into them /before/ Clovis unifies them all. If you're quick you can steal several duchies from them, and maybe even capture Clovis from his dads capital. He can't unify the Franks if he's dead.
Revised opinion: it's doable, it's just very much a luck-based mission.
However, two other points:
1) Why does Imperial government give a penalty to tax income? Since Imperial government is meant to be a switch away from a levy system towards a professional army structure, it would make more sense for Imperial governments to give a tax bonus but a more substantial levy penalty.
2) The Saxon invasions in northern Gaul are a bit ridiculous; it's quite possible to see a single-county chieftain inexplicably spawn a larger army than the entire Gallic Empire.
The tax penalty represents the cost of maintaining the imperial bureaucracy.
The invasions scale to the defender's strength to a degree, so that they are actually a threat.
In that case, the use of such invasions should be restricted to independent rulers of duchy-tier rank. Otherwise you get the situation of a random single-county vassal chieftain being able to suddenly spawn a massive army out of thin air.
Regarding mass conversions, they should be disabled until around ~600. The mechanic doesn't really fit the early part of the mod's timeframe (especially the 410 start).
The Gallic invasions/migrations should really be thought of more as adventurers rather than standard invasions, so the original rank of the ruler isn't really that relevant.
Not really. The conversion of Clovis, for instance, as an example of what's essentially a mass conversion in the earlier part of the timeline.
I'm not sure if they've been changed, But I'm pretty sure you can easily defeat them by just killing their king, That's what I did in my Soissons campaign, Although I had already got the heir in prison, Probably from a previous battle.
There's already a special event for that in the mod, though. The problem with having mass conversions available at the start is that it leads to all High Tribal rulers mass converting very quickly.
