TNGF
SELECTED
King David IV of Georgia
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered monarch in his late 30s with a strong, weathered face framed by a neatly trimmed dark beard. His piercing hazel eyes survey the battlefield with strategic precision. His muscular build suggests years of military training, and his posture exudes regal authority even atop his warhorse.
Georgian Commander
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, dark beard streaked with gray. His muscular build and numerous scars attest to years of battle. His hands are calloused, and his stance is authoritative.
Seljuk Defender
secondary
A rugged Seljuk warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat. His face is weathered, with deep-set dark eyes and a thick black beard streaked with gray. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to previous battles.
Georgian Soldier
background
A young Georgian fighter in his early 20s, lean and muscular from years of military training. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, with a determined set to his jaw. His dark hair is tousled under a simple padded cap, and his hands are calloused from gripping weapons and ropes.
Ani Citizen
background
An elderly Armenian woman with deeply lined skin and silver-streaked hair pulled back in a simple braid. Her frail frame is hunched slightly from years of labor, and her dark eyes are wide with fear. She clutches a young child protectively against her chest, her knuckles white with tension.
