A dimly lit great hall in a Northumbrian meadhall, Wighill. The hall is constructed of heavy timber beams with a thatched roof, the walls lined with woolen tapestries and shields. Smoke from the central hearth lingers in the air, mixing with the scent of burning peat.

TNGF
SELECTED
Uhtred, Earl of Northumbria
primary
A once-powerful warrior now weakened by illness, Uhtred appears gaunt with sunken cheeks and a pallid complexion. His muscular frame is evident even in repose, with battle scars visible on his arms and face. His graying blond hair is matted with sweat, and his piercing blue eyes still hold remnants of their former intensity.
Aelfgifu
primary
A noblewoman in her early thirties, with a slender yet dignified build. Her long, dark hair is partially covered by a finely woven veil, and her fair complexion is marked by the pallor of grief. Her deep blue eyes reflect both sorrow and quiet strength.
Thane Oswulf
secondary
A broad-shouldered warrior in his late thirties with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His thick, dark brown beard is braided in the Norse fashion, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both grief and vigilance. His hands, calloused from years of wielding weapons, grip his sword tightly.
Housecarl
secondary
A burly warrior in his late thirties, standing a head taller than most men. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a thick red beard braided in the Norse fashion. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline. His massive arms bear the corded muscle of a lifelong fighter, gripping a broad-bladed Dane axe with practiced ease.
Monk
secondary
A middle-aged monk with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a tonsured head. His hands are rough from labor, yet his fingers move delicately over the wooden cross he holds. His posture is slightly hunched, as if burdened by the weight of his prayers.
