TNGF

SELECTED

Richard de Clare (Strongbow)

primary

A tall, gaunt Norman lord with close-cropped graying hair and a once-powerful frame now weakened by illness. His face bears the scars of battle, and his piercing blue eyes still command respect despite his weakened state. His hands, once strong from wielding a sword, now lie frail atop the woolen blankets.

Aoife

primary

A striking Irish princess in her late 20s, with long auburn hair cascading down her back, pale skin, and piercing green eyes that reflect both her noble heritage and deep sorrow. Her slender build is wrapped in grief, her posture slightly hunched from the weight of her emotions.

Norman Knight

secondary

A battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s, with a stocky build and sun-weathered features. His face bears several old scars from combat, including a prominent one across his left eyebrow. His hands are calloused from years of wielding sword and shield. Despite his rough exterior, his posture suggests disciplined military bearing.

Irish Priest

secondary

A gaunt, middle-aged man with a deeply lined face, sunken eyes, and a wiry frame. His greying hair is cropped short in the clerical tonsure, and his hands are calloused from years of manual labor and prayer.

Servant

background

A middle-aged woman with a wiry frame, her face lined with years of labor. Her hands are rough from work, and her posture is slightly hunched from years of bending over hearths and herb tables. Her dark hair is streaked with gray and pulled back into a simple braid.

Dialog

Richard de Clare (Strongbow) Enough tears, Aoife. The walls of Dublin still stand by my command.

Aoife A mhuirnín, can you not hear the banshee's cry? Even the stones weep for you...

Norman Knight My lord, the Irish priest waits outside. Shall I...

Richard de Clare (Strongbow) Let the wolf into the fold? No. I'll meet God with my own chaplain.

Aoife Mo chroí briste... Father Padraig baptized me as a child. Must even my grief be divided?

Norman Knight The men ask who shall lead when... when you cannot, my lord.

Richard de Clare (Strongbow) Let my son bear my sword... and my wife keep my honor. That is all.
