TNGF
SELECTED
King Henry III
primary
A slender young man with a pale complexion, light brown hair neatly trimmed, and piercing blue eyes that convey both youth and regal authority. His face is smooth, showing no signs of beard, typical of his young age. His posture is upright, exuding royal dignity.
Royal Advisor
secondary
A tall, gaunt man in his late fifties with a sharp, angular face and deep-set, calculating eyes. His thinning grey hair is neatly trimmed, and his long fingers frequently tap against his thigh when deep in thought.
Bishop
secondary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with a prominent nose and deep-set, piercing eyes. His thinning grey hair is neatly tonsured in the clerical fashion, and his long fingers are adorned with a bishop's ring.
Forester
background
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. His dark brown hair is streaked with premature gray and tied back with a leather thong. A prominent scar runs along his left cheekbone from a past forest accident.
Nobleman
background
A middle-aged nobleman with a sharp, angular face, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is upright, reflecting his noble status, but his expression betrays a hint of skepticism and concern.

Dialog

King Henry III By the grace of God and the will of our people, we hereby grant this Charter of the Forest, restoring rights long withheld from the commons.
Royal Advisor Your Majesty, this charter must be enforced with precision, lest the nobles see it as weakness.
Bishop Truly, a righteous act, my liege. The Lord smiles upon those who show mercy to His children.
King Henry III Let it be known that these lands are not ours to withhold, but God's to share among His people.
Royal Advisor Yet we must ensure the terms are clear, lest disputes arise and the peace be broken.
Bishop The Church stands ready to support this noble endeavor, for it is written, 'Blessed are the peacemakers.'
King Henry III Then let this charter stand as a testament to justice and the unity of our realm.
