The battlefield stretches between the River Tolka and the sea, with scattered trees and shrubs providing minimal cover. The ground is uneven, with small hills and depressions adding to the chaotic terrain.

TNGF

SELECTED

Brian Boru

primary

Aged 73, tall and powerfully built despite his years, with long white hair and a full beard. His piercing blue eyes show both wisdom and battle fury. His face bears the weathered lines of a lifelong warrior and leader.

Máel Mórda mac Murchada

primary

A powerfully built man in his late 40s, with broad shoulders and a warrior’s physique. His long, dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back with a leather cord. His face is weathered from years of battle and leadership, with a prominent nose and piercing blue eyes. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a mark from past conflicts.

Sigtrygg Silkbeard

secondary

A Norse-Gaelic king in his late 40s, with a stocky, battle-hardened build and a prominent, well-groomed beard that justifies his epithet. His face is weathered from years of sea voyages and warfare, with sharp blue eyes that scan the battlefield with calculating intensity. His blonde hair is tied back in a tight warrior's braid, revealing a deep scar along his left temple from past combat.

Irish Warrior

secondary

A burly, battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a thick, reddish-brown beard. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, and his cold blue eyes show both determination and fatigue. A fresh cut on his left cheek bleeds slightly, mixing with sweat and dirt. His hands are calloused and grip his weapons firmly.

Viking Berserker

background

A hulking Norse warrior in his late 20s, with a thick red beard matted with sweat and blood. His muscular frame is covered in crude tattoos depicting wolves and serpents. His eyes are wild with battle frenzy, pupils dilated from whatever concoction or trance state fuels his berserkergang. Scars crisscross his bare arms and a fresh axe wound bleeds along his left shoulder.
