TNGF
SELECTED
Brian Boru
primary
Aged High King of Ireland, tall and powerfully built with broad shoulders and a commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of battle, with deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and resolve. His hair and beard are silver-streaked, showing his age but also his experience. He wears the scars of past battles with pride.
Máel Mórda mac Murchada
secondary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with broad shoulders and a weathered face that speaks of many battles. His dark hair is streaked with gray and tied back in a warrior's knot, and his piercing blue eyes are filled with determination. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.
Irish Warrior
secondary
A seasoned fighter in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of battle. His face is weathered, with a thick beard and piercing blue eyes. Scars from previous battles mark his arms and face, telling tales of past conflicts.
Viking Warrior
secondary
A burly and battle-hardened warrior in his late thirties, standing tall with a muscular build. His face is marked with old scars, and his piercing blue eyes are filled with the intensity of battle. His long, unkempt blond hair is tied back in a single braid, and his thick beard is streaked with dirt and blood. He wears a chainmail hauberk that clinks with each movement, and his arms are adorned with bronze and silver arm rings, symbols of his prowess and status.
Bard
background
A middle-aged man with a lean build, his face lined with the stress of witnessing the battle. His long, unkempt hair is streaked with grey, and his hands tremble slightly as he writes. His eyes are wide with a mix of horror and fascination, darting across the battlefield.
