TNGF
SELECTED
Bishop
primary
An imposing figure in his early 60s, with a broad frame that conveys both spiritual and temporal authority. His face is weathered, with deep-set eyes that seem to pierce through those he gazes upon, framed by a neatly trimmed grey beard. His hands, raised in blessing, are large and strong, bearing the marks of years spent holding the crozier.
Nobleman
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 40s with a broad frame and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with calculated interest, and his posture exudes authority. His hands are adorned with several ornate rings, symbols of his status.
Acolyte
secondary
A slender young man in his late teens with a clean-shaven face, short brown hair neatly trimmed in clerical fashion, and pale skin flushed with nervous energy. His hands are delicate but show signs of recent manual labor from assisting with cathedral preparations.
Guard
secondary
A broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His thick beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings. Chainmail covers his muscular frame, and his right hand rests permanently on the pommel of his sword.
Town Elder
background
An elderly man with a hunched back, deep-set wrinkles framing his pale blue eyes, and thinning white hair that barely covers his scalp. His hands are gnarled from years of labor, and his posture shows the weight of his years.

Dialog

Bishop In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, we dedicate this sacred house to the glory of God and the salvation of His people.
Nobleman Deo volente, may this cathedral stand as a testament to the harmony between the Church and the Empire, the spiritual and the temporal.
Bishop As the stones of this edifice are bonded by mortar, so too are our souls bound by divine providence and imperial duty.
Nobleman Indeed, Reverend Father. And as the vaults of this cathedral ascend to the heavens, so too do our aspirations for unity under God's will.
Bishop Let us pray that this consecration marks not an end, but a beginning—a beacon of faith and order in these times.
