The knights are all people, the names anyway. I am just waiting for stores to get the expansion before posting the secret history. Such is the way of my people.

I have no plans to ever do more knights, as promos or otherwise. I guess if a "treasure chest" expansion ever happened, adding another knight would be an option there, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

Well at least I called one aspect of the Knights. The variance of the names suggested things couldn't be otherwise. Regarding the second part of your statement, though, I just hope Jay or some European distributor doesn't get in their mind to start releasing promos without first consulting with you or thoroughly playtesting the cards. While there are probably a few more promo Knights that could be done with minimal balance testing, I rather doubt there are many. I guess Knights don't ALWAYS have to cost 5 coins. That just is a convenience.

Regarding a "Treasure Chest" expansion, I assume something like this is in the works for probably three years from now. Perhaps it will include an extra Potion-cost Action card (some specific card idea or another that fans have been clamoring for), all the Promo cards, an extra Prize, an extra Knight or two, perhaps a new Duration card, and I'd Guess four or five new Kingdom cards. I wouldn't expect anything larger than a 150 card expansion, let's speculate:

5 x 10-Card Promo cards = 50 Cards
4 x 10-Card Kingdoms = 40 Cards
1 x 12-Card Victory Kingdom = 12 Cards
1 x 10-Card Duration = 10 Cards
1 x 10-Card Potions-cost card = 10 Cards
2 x Prize Card = 2 Card
2 x Knights Card = 2 Card
1 x 10-Card Anticipated Promo cards = 10 Cards
1 x Anticipated Guild Card = 1 Card
13 x Randomizers = 13 Cards

TOTAL CARDS = 150 Cards

Just a fun-thought summary for the "Treasure Box" expansion (Possibly coming 2015!)  :D

Hey, new to the forums but certainly not to Dominion. I have a strong speculation regarding the Knights, although I need to wait for the secret history to confirm at least a part of it. I am guessing each knight is based on a friend, colleague, supporter, contributor, etc., of Donald X. That being said, and keeping in mind that Dark Ages was intended to be the last and final Dominion expansion planned in advance, I think that Donald, Jay, and other Dominion distributors intend to release promotional Dominion Knights cards in future years as special in-house promotional and print-and-play cards.

This reasoning is based on the Catan Card Game by KOSMOS, which every Christmas released a new Knight card based on someone associated with the development of the Cataniverse in-house that was afterward made available publicly as a print-and-play card. I believe they stopped this program in 2011 with the release of Rivals of Catan (or rather Princes of Catan), which rebooted the series and provided many opportunities to place said people in the game from the get-go.

I don't know if Donald himself would go to such lengths to include something like this, but the opportunity provided by Knights seems to be too much and the pile is really infinitely expandable with just the proviso that the pile must begin with 10 cards, with additional cards randomly removed. I think Donald will begin releasing promo Knights this year or next year, perhaps when the game is done. It may be Jay, or even a foreign distributor, that begins releasing a few a year, but I feel the Knights are the best way to do something like this.

What are others' thoughts on this matter?
