Battle of Lincoln

The decisive clash between the forces of King Henry III and the rebel barons led by Louis of France reaches its peak in the streets around Lincoln Castle. The royal forces, led by William Marshal, are

Setting

Lincoln Castle and its surrounding streets, mid-battle. The castle's stone walls loom over the chaotic scene, with narrow cobbled streets slick with mud and blood. The air is thick with the clamor of combat, and the scent of iron and smoke hangs heavily.

TNGF
SELECTED
William Marshal
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early seventies, with a weathered face marked by deep lines and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jaw. His once-dark hair is now streaked with silver, tied back in a practical warrior's knot. His piercing blue eyes still hold the sharpness of a seasoned commander, and his posture remains upright despite his age. His hands, though gnarled with age, grip his sword with practiced ease.
Royal Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of training and combat. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His dark brown hair is cropped short under his helmet, and his piercing blue eyes are alert and focused.
Rebel Soldier
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties, with a gaunt face marked by dirt and sweat. His dark hair is matted under a worn leather coif, and his arms bear the lean muscle of a man accustomed to hard labor rather than formal combat training. A fresh cut on his cheek drips blood, mixing with the grime of battle.
Wounded Man
background
A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but muscular build, now weakened by his injuries. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his dark hair is matted with blood from a wound on his scalp. His tunic is torn, revealing a deep gash on his side, and his left leg drags uselessly behind him.
