TNGF
SELECTED
Henry II of England
primary
A robust man in his early 40s with a square jaw, piercing blue eyes, and short reddish-brown hair that is slightly receding. His face is marked by the beginnings of crow's feet and a ruddy complexion from years of campaigning. His build is muscular and stocky, indicative of a warrior king who has spent much of his life in the saddle.
Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 50s with a weathered face marked by years of leadership and battle. His long, graying red hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both wisdom and simmering resentment. His hands, resting on the table, are calloused from swordplay.
Norman Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His hands are stained with ink, and his fingers are calloused from years of writing. His piercing eyes frequently dart between the parchment and the negotiating parties, betraying his skepticism.
Irish Bard
secondary
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face lined with the marks of a life spent in both study and travel. His deep-set eyes are sharp with intelligence, and his long, unkempt hair is streaked with grey, tied back loosely with a leather thong. His hands, though calloused, move with precision, betraying his skill with both harp and quill.
Castle Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with vigilance, and his muscular frame is clad in chainmail armor.

Dialog

Henry II of England By the grace of God and the rights of our crown, we declare that all lands held by our loyal barons in Ériu shall remain under our protection and governance.
Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair As the oak bends to the wind but does not break, so too must Ériu yield to necessity... yet the roots of sovereignty run deep.
Henry II of England Your wisdom in recognizing necessity does you credit, Ruaidrí. Let it be known that those who swear fealty shall find our justice swift and our protection unwavering.
Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair Justice and protection... words that carry different weights in different tongues. Yet I see the shadow of the eagle's wings upon our lands.
Henry II of England Then let this treaty stand as a bridge between our realms, that peace may flourish where discord once reigned.
Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair May the rivers of Ériu remember this day, and may the spirits of our ancestors judge the weight of these words.
