Malcolm II, the King of Scotland, lies on his deathbed in Glamis Castle. The grand hall is filled with nobles, advisors, and potential successors, all whispering conspiracies and debating the future o

Setting

The grand halls of Glamis Castle, a formidable stone fortress in Angus, Scotland. The main hall is vast with high, arched ceilings supported by thick wooden beams. Tapestries depicting Scottish battles hang from the walls, their colors muted in the dim light. The stone floors are covered with scattered rushes, and a large hearth burns at the far end, casting long shadows.

TNGF
SELECTED
Malcolm II
primary
An aged and gaunt figure, with a once-powerful frame now withered by time and illness. His long, silver hair is streaked with the remnants of its former auburn hue, and his piercing blue eyes still hold a glint of authority despite his weakened state.
Thane of Angus
primary
A towering figure with broad shoulders and a thick, auburn beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes survey the room with calculated intensity, missing nothing. His face bears the scars of battles fought in the king's name.
Royal Physician
secondary
A gaunt man with deep-set, piercing eyes that have seen much suffering. His hands are long and bony, with fingers that move with practiced precision. His hair is thin and streaked with gray, pulled back tightly from his face.
Courtier
background
A slender, middle-aged man with a gaunt face and nervous demeanor. His thinning brown hair is slicked back with a mixture of sweat and oil, and his hands are constantly in motion.
