TNGF
SELECTED
Abbot
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late fifties with a deeply lined face that suggests both wisdom and austerity. His piercing blue eyes are framed by bushy white eyebrows, and his clean-shaven chin reveals a firm jawline. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, often clasped in prayer or gesturing with measured precision.
Master Builder
primary
A middle-aged man with a sturdy frame, broad shoulders, and calloused hands from years of labor. His face is weathered by sun and wind, with deep-set eyes that scrutinize every detail. A short, practical beard frames his jaw, and his hair is cropped close to his head to keep it out of the way while working.
Novice
secondary
A slender youth of about 16 years with close-cropped brown hair and earnest blue eyes. His smooth cheeks show the first hints of beard growth, and his hands bear fresh callouses from recent labor. He stands with the slightly hunched posture of one accustomed to bowing.
Laborer
secondary
A burly man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and muscular arms from years of physical toil. His dark hair is cropped short beneath a leather cap, and his beard is flecked with dirt from digging. Calloused hands grip his tools with practiced ease.
Local Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with a neatly trimmed beard and sharp, observant eyes. His sun-weathered face suggests time spent outdoors managing his lands. His posture carries the natural authority of someone accustomed to command.
Dialog
Abbot
May the Lord bless this ground, where His servants shall dwell in piety. Asperges me, Domine...
Master Builder
The northeast corner stakes lean—reset them before the mortar sets!
Novice
Oh! The blessed water—this unworthy novice has it ready, holy father. Indeed, ready!
Local Noble
A wise placement, Abbot. The river will bear your prayers downstream... and your influence with them.
Abbot
My son, we seek only to till the fields of men’s souls, as your plows till the earth.
Master Builder
Enough chatter—the light fades. Drive those posts true, or the cloister walls will list like a drunkard!
Novice
The posts will stand straight, Master Builder! As straight as... as... oh dear.
