TNGF
SELECTED
Saladin
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 40s with a well-groomed beard streaked with grey, deep-set brown eyes that convey both wisdom and intensity, and a strong, angular face weathered by years of desert campaigns. His posture is upright, exuding authority and calm command.
Guy of Lusignan
primary
A man in his late 30s with a gaunt, sunburnt face and deep-set blue eyes that betray exhaustion. His once well-groomed blond beard is now matted with dust and sweat. His tall frame, though still imposing, shows signs of fatigue from prolonged battle.
Raynald of Châtillon
secondary
A battle-hardened Crusader lord in his late 50s, with a sinewy build from decades of campaigning. His weathered face bears deep lines and scars, framed by a grizzled beard streaked with gray. Piercing blue eyes, now bloodshot from dust and exhaustion, burn with defiance under thick brows. His nose shows signs of being broken in past conflicts.
Muslim Archer
background
A lean, sun-bronzed man in his late twenties with wiry muscles honed by years of archery practice. His dark eyes are sharp with focus, framed by a short, trimmed beard. His hands bear callouses from drawing bowstrings, and his posture shows the disciplined stance of a trained soldier.
Crusader Knight
background
A heavily armored knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build typical of a trained warrior. His face, barely visible beneath his great helm, is weathered and bears the scars of previous battles. His chainmail hauberk is covered by a white surcoat bearing the red cross of the Crusaders, now stained with dust and sweat.
Dialog
Saladin
By Allah's will, the scales have tipped. King Guy, your valor is noted, but the sands of time now run against you.
Guy of Lusignan
Spare me your pious words, Sultan! If Christ wills our deaths here, then let Him judge us—not you!
Raynald of Châtillon
Hah! The Saracen dog preaches while his jackals surround us. Come then—let your blade speak instead!
Saladin
Raynald... the viper who bit the hand offering peace. Today you answer for the caravans.
Guy of Lusignan
Enough! We are knights of Christ—grant us honorable captivity or finish this!
Raynald of Châtillon
Honor? You beg mercy from this desert rat? I'd sooner drink Hell's fire!
Saladin
The merciful shade of Allah extends to all... save those who scorn it.
