TNGF
SELECTED
Frederick II
primary
A young man of 25 years with a lean yet regal build, standing at average height. His piercing green eyes and sharp Sicilian features contrast with his golden-brown hair, worn slightly longer than court fashion in a nod to his Norman heritage. A neatly trimmed beard frames his face, giving him an air of wisdom beyond his years.
Cardinal Deacon
primary
A gaunt man in his late fifties with sharp, angular features and piercing gray eyes beneath bushy white eyebrows. His thin lips are pursed in concentration, and his pallid complexion suggests a life spent more in study than in the sun. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, with prominent veins.
German Noble
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 40s with a well-groomed beard and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the weathering of a life spent between military campaigns and courtly duties, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His posture exudes the disciplined bearing of a seasoned nobleman.
Italian Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man of slender build, with sharp, observant eyes and a neatly trimmed beard. His features are refined, with high cheekbones and a slightly aquiline nose, reflecting his noble lineage. His hands are well-kept, adorned with a signet ring bearing his family crest.
Papal Notary
secondary
A thin, middle-aged man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and short, neatly trimmed brown hair. His hands are ink-stained from years of scribal work, and he wears a pair of small, round spectacles perched on his nose for close work. His posture is slightly hunched from long hours spent bent over documents.
Imperial Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early thirties with a weathered face and a close-cropped beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with vigilance, and his muscular build suggests years of military training. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone.

Dialog

Cardinal Deacon Per gratiam Dei et auctoritatem Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae, accipe coronam imperii, quae tibi defertur non per hominem, sed per manum Dei.
Frederick II Sicut aquila renovatur iuventus mea... et sicut falco ad pugnam se preparat.
German Noble Seht wie unser Kaiser die Schrift kennt - besser als diese Römer mit ihren weichen Händen!
Cardinal Deacon Memor esto, fili mi, quod sub hoc diademate duo gladios portabis - spiritualem et temporalem.
Frederick II Quis enim melius sciat temperare gladios quam qui utrumque linguam patrium et ecclesiasticam callide novit?
German Noble Hört! Unser Kaiser lässt sich nicht wie ein Schulknabe zurechtweisen!
Cardinal Deacon Sic transit gloria mundi... et sic incipit obedientia Christi.
