TNGF
SELECTED
Sigurd the Stout
primary
A towering Viking warlord in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a thick, battle-scarred frame. His face is weathered, with a prominent nose and piercing blue eyes that burn with intensity. His long, reddish-brown hair is tied back in a warrior's braid, and his beard is thick and unkempt, streaked with gray. His arms are adorned with intricate Norse tattoos, symbols of his victories and lineage.
Brian Boru
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early seventies with a commanding presence. His long white hair and beard are streaked with remnants of its former red, his face lined with age and the marks of battle. His piercing blue eyes are sharp with intelligence and resolve. His hands, though aged, grip his sword with practiced strength.
Viking Warrior
secondary
A burly Norse fighter in his late 20s, standing tall with a muscular build honed by years of raiding. His face is weathered by sea winds, marked with faded scars across his left cheek and forehead. His wild, straw-colored hair is tied back with a leather thong, and a thick beard covers his jaw. His pale blue eyes burn with battle fury.
Irish Warrior
secondary
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of training and combat. His face is streaked with mud and sweat, and his dark hair is tied back in a loose knot. His arms bear old scars from previous battles, and his hands are calloused from wielding weapons.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Viking warrior in his mid-20s, with a lean but muscular build. His face is streaked with mud and blood, and his fair hair is matted with sweat and dirt. A deep wound on his side seeps blood through his tunic, and his left leg drags uselessly behind him.
Dialog
Sigurd the Stout
Brian Boru! Face me, king of the Gaels! Let Odin decide whose fate is woven today!
Brian Boru
Earl Sigurd, your courage honors the field, but this day belongs to Éire. Lay down your arms and spare your men.
Sigurd the Stout
Spare them? Ha! My drengir would spit on such mercy! We feast in Valhalla or not at all!
Brian Boru
Then let the Morrígan weep for what must be. Shields to the front!
Sigurd the Stout
To me, sons of Orkney! Cut through them like winter storms!
