TNGF

SELECTED

Duncan I

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His dark auburn hair is neatly trimmed, and his beard is short but well-groomed. His hands are calloused from years of swordplay, yet his posture carries the dignity expected of a king.

Abbot of Scone

primary

A gaunt, elderly man in his late 60s with a wispy white beard that reaches his chest. His sunken cheeks and deep-set eyes give him an austere appearance, framed by bushy white eyebrows. His hands are gnarled from years of labor and prayer, clutching a simple wooden cross with visible reverence.

Highland Chieftain

secondary

A towering figure in his late forties, with a broad, muscular frame honed by years of warfare and harsh Highland winters. His weathered face bears the scars of battle, and his piercing blue eyes are framed by thick, dark brows. A full beard streaked with grey adds to his imposing presence.

Young Warrior

secondary

A lean but muscular young man in his early twenties, with sun-browned skin and a closely cropped beard. His sharp blue eyes scan the crowd warily, and a thin scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone. His hands, calloused from years of sword training, grip his weapon with practiced ease.

Elderly Bard

background

A hunched figure with a long, white beard that reaches his chest, his face deeply lined with age and wisdom. His eyes, though clouded with cataracts, still gleam with the light of countless stories. His hands are gnarled but move with a deliberate grace, as if conducting unseen forces.

Dialog

Abbot of Scone Mac an rígh, by the grace of God and the will of the people, receive this blessing. May the saints guide your hand and the land flourish under your rule.

Duncan I I accept this charge with humility and strength, as my forefathers did before me. The land shall know peace under my hand.

Highland Chieftain Peace, MacAlpin? Or submission? The north remembers its own ways.

Duncan I The north shall have its voice, chieftain, as all lands under my rule. But the crown binds us as one.

Abbot of Scone Enough! This is sacred ground. Let no discord mar this day of blessing.

Highland Chieftain As you say, holy father. But words are wind—deeds will tell.

Duncan I Then let my deeds speak when the time comes. Today, let us honor tradition.
