Setting

The battlefield of Bothganowan, near Elgin, Scotland, is a rugged highland terrain with rolling hills covered in heather and scattered boulders. A narrow glen serves as the primary battleground, flanked by steep, mist-shrouded slopes. A small, fast-flowing stream cuts through the valley, its banks churned into mud by the movement of troops.

TNGF
SELECTED
King Macbeth
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a muscular build, weathered skin from years of battle, and piercing blue eyes. His face is marked by a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to his warrior past. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and tied back in a traditional warrior's knot, and his beard is thick and well-groomed.
Warrior Captain
secondary
A burly, middle-aged warrior with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, battle-scarred beard. His muscular frame bears the marks of countless conflicts, with old wounds visible on his arms and neck. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his stance exudes the confidence of a seasoned fighter.
Rival Warrior
secondary
A towering figure with a broad, battle-scarred face and a thick, unkempt red beard. His piercing blue eyes burn with a mix of fury and determination. His muscular frame is clad in early medieval armor, dented and worn from previous battles.
Young Warrior
background
A lean youth of about 17 years, with a pale complexion flushed with exertion. His sandy hair is cropped short in the Norman style, and his blue eyes dart nervously across the battlefield. His hands grip his spear too tightly, revealing white knuckles.

Dialog

King Macbeth By the blood of our ancestors, today we carve our fate into these hills! Let no man falter—the throne is ours by right and steel!
Warrior Captain Hold the line at the stream, lads! Let their charge break upon our shields like water on stone!
Rival Warrior Macbeth! Your stolen crown will drown in this glen today! Forward!
King Macbeth Then let the crows feast well—for they'll have their fill of traitors' flesh ere sunset!
Warrior Captain Shields up! Here they come like wolves to the fold!
