TNGF
SELECTED
Town Elder
primary
A grizzled man in his late 60s with a long, white beard streaked with remnants of gray. His face is deeply lined from years of hard work and leadership, with piercing blue eyes that command attention. His posture is slightly stooped from age, but his presence remains formidable. His hands are calloused, showing a lifetime of labor before becoming a leader.
Mason
primary
A burly man in his late 40s with sun-weathered skin and muscular arms honed from decades of stonework. His thick fingers bear numerous small scars from chisel slips. Dark brown hair streaked with gray is tied back with a leather thong.
Guard Captain
secondary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a muscular build from years of military training. His face bears a prominent scar across his left cheek, and his dark brown hair is cropped short in practical military fashion. His piercing hazel eyes constantly scan the surroundings for threats.
Apprentice
secondary
A lean youth of about 15 years with sun-browned skin and calloused hands. His dark hair is cropped short to keep it out of his eyes while working, and his face still carries the softness of adolescence.
Militia Man
background
A sun-weathered man in his early thirties with a wiry but strong build from years of labor. His dark brown hair is cropped short for practicality, and he has a fresh scar across his left forearm from recent training. His calloused hands move with practiced efficiency as he works.

Dialog

Town Elder Citizens of Alessandria, hear me! The stones we lay today shall be the foundation of our liberty—let no imperial decree break what we bind together with sweat and will!
Mason The mortar must cure three days before we cap this course—else the whole rampart will slump like a drunkard come spring.
Guard Captain Double the watch at the north gate—Frederick's scouts move swift as winter wolves!
Town Elder Let the Emperor send his legions—our walls shall answer with Lombard stone and free men's resolve!
Mason Aye, if the courses hold. These green timbers weep sap like widows' eyes—we need seasoned oak for the gate hinges.
Guard Captain Pikes here, bows there—by the Virgin, must I draw the lines in the dirt for you?
Town Elder The Holy Roman Eagle may cast its shadow, but we stand in the light of our own making—let history remember this day!
