TNGF
SELECTED
Frederick Barbarossa
primary
A powerfully built man in his early thirties, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His red beard, from which he derives his name, is full and well-groomed. He carries himself with the confidence of a seasoned warrior and ruler.
Archbishop of Pavia
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late fifties with a prominent aquiline nose and deep-set, piercing eyes. His silver hair is thinning, and he bears the dignified aura of a man who has spent decades in ecclesiastical service.
German Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his early 40s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by a prominent scar across his left cheek. His piercing blue eyes and close-cropped blond hair give him a stern, imposing presence. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword.
Italian Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man with a sharp, angular face and a carefully groomed beard. His dark eyes are framed by thick eyebrows, and his posture, though forced into deference, carries an air of lingering pride. His hands, though soft from lack of labor, are clenched slightly, betraying his tension.
Cathedral Guard
background
A sturdy man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped dark hair, and a thick beard. His muscular frame suggests years of military training, and a faded scar runs along his left cheekbone.

Dialog

Frederick Barbarossa By the grace of God and the will of the Empire, I accept this crown—not as a burden, but as a sacred duty.
Archbishop of Pavia Deo volente, may this anointing bind you to the laws of Heaven and the peace of Italy.
Italian Noble How fitting that our new king is crowned in Pavia—a city that remembers well the weight of foreign crowns.
Frederick Barbarossa Let no man mistake this moment. The Empire’s strength is Italy’s strength—disloyalty will be met with divine justice.
Archbishop of Pavia Pax vobiscum, my lord. May your reign bring harmony... lest discord tear at the fabric of Christendom.
Italian Noble Harmony, Your Grace? Or submission? The Lombard cities have long memories—and longer spears.
Frederick Barbarossa Spears break. Empires endure.
