TNGF
SELECTED
Henry III
primary
A slender young man of noble bearing, aged 10, with fair hair cropped at earlobe length and pale complexion. His blue eyes reflect both youthful innocence and the weight of impending kingship. Delicate features and a slight frame belie the royal authority he must project.
Archbishop of Mainz
primary
An elderly man of considerable stature, with a gaunt face marked by deep-set wrinkles around his piercing grey eyes. His thinning white hair is tonsured in the clerical fashion, and his long, bony fingers bear several ornate rings signifying his ecclesiastical rank.
Duke of Bavaria
secondary
A formidable nobleman in his late 40s with a muscular build honed by years of military campaigns. His sharp, hawk-like features are framed by a neatly-trimmed beard streaked with gray, and his piercing blue eyes survey the ceremony with shrewd intensity. A battle scar runs from his left temple to jawline, a visible testament to his warrior past.
Royal Herald
secondary
A tall, wiry man in his late 40s with a clean-shaven face and deep-set eyes that convey both authority and fatigue. His prominent nose and high cheekbones give him a distinguished appearance, while his slightly hunched posture suggests years of service. His hands are calloused from holding scrolls and trumpets, and his voice carries the rasp of one who has projected across many courtyards.
Altar Boy
background
A slender boy of about 12 years, with a pale complexion and short, dark hair neatly trimmed. His hands are delicate, but slightly reddened from frequent washing in preparation for the sacred duties. His wide eyes reflect both reverence and nervous energy, darting between the Archbishop and the ceremonial objects.

Archbishop of Mainz In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti... accipe coronam regni, quae licet indignis humeris nostris imponitur, tibi divinitus conceditur.
Henry III Sus... suscipio hanc coronam non meis meritis sed... sed Dei misericordia.
Duke of Bavaria Der Knabe trägt die Reichskrone wie ein Falkner den Handschuh - noch ungewohnt, doch das Blut weiß den Weg.
Royal Herald Hear now and bear witness—Henricus Tertius, Dei gratia Romanorum Rex, semper Augustus!
Archbishop of Mainz Sta et retine locum, quem hucusque paterno successisti hereditarie iure...
Henry III Vater... ich meine, dominus archiepiscopus... der Mantel ist sehr schwer...
Royal Herald Let all present mark this hour when heaven's favor and earthly might conjoin beneath these sacred vaults!
