A dimly lit stone chamber within Glamis Castle, thick with the scent of blood and burning tallow. The room is small, with rough-hewn stone walls and a low ceiling, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. A simple wooden bed dominates the center, draped with furs and woolen blankets.

TNGF
SELECTED
Malcolm II
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 50s, with a grizzled beard and deep-set blue eyes that still hold a warrior's fire despite his mortal wounds. His face is lined with age and battle scars, his once-ruddy complexion now pale from blood loss. His hands, though weakened, still bear the callouses of a lifelong swordsman.
Warrior Captain
primary
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 40s, with a muscular build and weathered face marked by old scars. His thick, graying brown hair is tied back in a warrior's knot, and his piercing blue eyes reflect years of command. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons, and he stands with the bearing of a seasoned leader.
Abbot
secondary
A gaunt, elderly man with a deeply lined face and piercing blue eyes that seem to glow in the dim light. His thin white hair is tonsured in the Celtic monastic style, and his hands are gnarled with age but move with deliberate grace.
Young Warrior
secondary
A lean but muscular young man in his early twenties, with sun-browned skin and a closely cropped beard. His face bears fresh battle scars, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both grief and resolve. His dark brown hair is tied back with a simple leather thong.
Acolyte
background
A slender young man in his late teens with a pale complexion and close-cropped brown hair, his hands delicate from years of copying manuscripts rather than labor. His face is smooth, free of scars or marks, with large, earnest eyes that reflect both reverence and nervous energy.

Per istam sanctan unctionem... May the Lord forgive all your sins, my son.

The salmon... returns to its stream...

Sound the bodhran... let the valley know a king passes.
