TNGF
SELECTED
Prince Yuri II of Vladimir-Suzdal
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, dark brown beard streaked with gray. His nose is slightly crooked from past battles, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword. His posture is regal yet tense, reflecting the weight of leadership.
Burundai
primary
A formidable Mongol commander, broad-shouldered with a face weathered by years of warfare. His dark, piercing eyes survey the battlefield with calculated precision. His black beard is braided with leather strips, and his scarred hands grip his curved sword with practiced ease.
Rus' Captain
secondary
A burly warrior with a thick, unkempt beard streaked with gray, and a face lined with scars from countless battles. His piercing blue eyes are sharp with experience and determination.
Mongol Archer
secondary
A wiry, battle-hardened warrior in his late 20s, with sun-leathered skin and sharp, almond-shaped eyes that miss nothing. His black hair is tied in a tight topknot, and his face bears the scars of previous campaigns. His compact frame is all lean muscle, built for endurance and precision with his composite bow.
Wounded Rus' Soldier
background
A young Rus' warrior in his mid-20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of training. His face is streaked with dirt and blood, his beard matted with sweat and frost. A deep gash runs across his left thigh, staining his woolen trousers crimson. His chainmail is torn at the shoulder where a Mongol arrow struck, and his left arm hangs limp at his side.
Dialog
Prince Yuri II of Vladimir-Suzdal
Hold the line! If we falter now, all of Rus' falls with us!
Burundai
Crush them. Let the river run red with their coward's blood.
Rus' Captain
My prince, the left flank buckles—we cannot hold much longer.
Prince Yuri II of Vladimir-Suzdal
Then we make them pay for every inch, Captain. For Vladimir. For Rus'.
Burundai
See how they cling to hope. Break them.
Rus' Captain
Aye, my prince. To the last.
Prince Yuri II of Vladimir-Suzdal
God forgive us all.
