TNGF
SELECTED
Prince John
primary
A youthful Norman prince in his early twenties, with a lean yet athletic build befitting a young nobleman trained in warfare. His fair complexion is flushed with the sea wind, and his piercing blue eyes scan the shoreline with a mix of curiosity and determination. His auburn hair is cut short in the Norman style, and he sports a thin, well-groomed beard.
Norman Captain
primary
A grizzled warrior in his late 40s, with a broad frame hardened by years of campaigning. His face bears a prominent scar running from left temple to jawline, and his close-cropped beard shows flecks of grey. Piercing blue eyes survey the landing with tactical precision.
Irish Chieftain
secondary
A middle-aged man with a rugged, weathered face, his red hair streaked with grey and tied back with a leather cord. His build is sturdy, with broad shoulders and calloused hands that speak of a life spent in battle and leadership. His piercing blue eyes scan the harbor with suspicion, and his posture is tense, ready for action.
Norman Soldier
background
A well-built, rugged Norman soldier in his late twenties, with a tanned face from hours spent in the sun. His short, dark hair is slightly tousled under his helmet, and his piercing blue eyes scan the shoreline with practiced vigilance. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a mark of previous battles.
Irish Fisherman
background
A wiry, middle-aged man with sun-weathered skin, short-cropped salt-and-pepper beard, and deep crow's feet around his eyes from years of squinting against the sea glare. His hands are rough and calloused from handling nets and oars.
Dialog
Prince John
By the blood of William the Conqueror! Do these Irishman truly think to deny us what is ours by right?
Norman Captain
The quay is secure, my prince, but those hills beyond the bastide hold too many eyes.
Prince John
We shall plant our banners in their very hilltops before midsummer! What care we for peasants who cannot even build proper stone keeps?
Norman Captain
Those wattle walls burn quickly, my prince, but the men behind them fight harder when cornered.
Prince John
Then let them be cornered, captain! Must we school these people in obedience like fractious hounds?
