TNGF
SELECTED
Henry III
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early twenties with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His light brown hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a short, well-groomed beard. His posture exudes confidence, though his youthful face betrays a hint of nervous energy.
Archbishop of Mainz
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a gaunt yet commanding presence. His deep-set eyes are framed by heavy brows, and his thin lips are pressed in solemnity. His pale skin shows the wear of years spent in study and prayer, with veins faintly visible at his temples. His posture remains rigid despite his age, suggesting a lifetime of discipline.
Duke of Bavaria
secondary
A robust man in his late 40s with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that betray both intelligence and suspicion. His thick, graying beard is meticulously groomed, and his broad shoulders suggest a lifetime of martial training. A faded scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a souvenir from past conflicts.
Royal Herald
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a lean, wiry build. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and deep-set eyes that convey both authority and weariness. His hands are calloused from years of handling scrolls and proclamations, and his posture is upright, trained by years of royal service.
Cathedral Guard
background
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His nose bears the slight crook of an old break, and his hands are calloused from years of gripping weapons. His dark eyes scan the crowd with disciplined alertness.

Dialog

Archbishop of Mainz By the grace of Almighty God and the authority of Holy Church, we anoint thee, Henry, King of the Romans. May this chrism consecrate thy reign as David was consecrated in Zion.
Henry III As God wills it, so shall I rule. We accept this sacred charge with humility, knowing the weight of this crown rests upon divine favor as much as mortal consent.
Duke of Bavaria Aye, let us see how this young king shoulders his burdens. My lands remember when Conrad rode south to settle disputes in person—not through envoys and parchment.
Henry III The wisdom of my blessed father guides me still, cousin. But as the Apostle writes: 'When I became a man, I put away childish things.' The empire shall know my hand as it knew his—in due season.
Archbishop of Mainz The oil of kingship burns away all youthful uncertainty. Today the Holy Spirit speaks through these princes' voices—and their acclamation echoes heaven's will.
