TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Innocent III
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a commanding presence, his face framed by a neatly trimmed beard and piercing, intelligent eyes that reflect both wisdom and authority. His posture is upright, exuding the dignity of his office.
Francis of Assisi
primary
A gaunt man in his late 20s with sunken cheeks and piercing eyes that reflect both weariness and divine fervor. His unkempt brown hair is partially covered by a simple hood, and his hands bear calluses from manual labor. His posture is slightly hunched from years of ascetic living, yet there's an undeniable spiritual energy in his frame.
Cardinal Deacon
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp, angular features and a clean-shaven face. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and a quiet devotion. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling sacred texts rather than manual labor.
Franciscan Friar
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sunken cheeks, and a short, unkempt beard. His wiry frame shows the marks of ascetic living, with calloused hands clasped in prayer. His deep-set eyes glisten with unshed tears, reflecting both exhaustion and profound devotion.
Papal Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face and close-cropped dark hair. His piercing eyes scan the room with disciplined vigilance, and his muscular frame is clad in the distinctive armor of the papal guard.

Dialog

Pope Innocent III By the authority vested in us by Christ and His Church, we do hereby approve this Rule of life, Solet annuere, for you and your brethren.
Francis of Assisi Most Holy Father, we are but unworthy servants, yet your blessing fills our hearts like spring rain upon parched earth.
Cardinal Deacon The document bears the leaden seal of the Fisherman, confirming its authenticity before God and man.
Pope Innocent III Let this Rule be as a lamp unto your feet, Brother Francis, that your little flock may walk always in the light of Holy Mother Church.
Francis of Assisi As the lark sings only for joy of the Creator, so shall we praise Him through perfect obedience to this Rule.
Cardinal Deacon Let it be recorded in the annals that on this day, the Feast of Saint Barnabas, the Rule was confirmed by apostolic authority.
Pope Innocent III Go now in peace, and may the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, descend upon you and remain forever.
