Setting
The battlefield outside the city walls of Parma, a flat expanse of frozen ground littered with the remnants of the imperial siege camp. Broken siege engines, abandoned tents, and trampled banners dot the landscape. The city walls loom in the distance, scarred by previous assaults but still standing.

TNGF
SELECTED
Guelph Captain
primary
A grizzled warrior in his late forties, his face lined with scars and weathered by years of campaigning. His broad shoulders and muscular build reflect a life spent in armor, though his movements remain swift and deliberate. Piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with sharp focus beneath a steel nasal helm. His salt-and-pepper beard is cropped short beneath the cheek guards.
Guelph Standard Bearer
secondary
A robust man in his late twenties, his sunburnt face marked by a recent scar across his left cheek. His muscular frame is built for endurance, with broad shoulders that bear the weight of the standard without faltering. His short, dark beard is matted with sweat and dirt.
Imperial Knight
secondary
A middle-aged man with a muscular build, his face weathered by years of campaign. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his piercing green eyes blaze with desperation. A deep scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to past battles. His hands are calloused from gripping weapons, and his stance is that of a man accustomed to command.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young to middle-aged imperial soldier, likely in his late 20s or early 30s, with a wiry but muscular build typical of professional soldiers of the era. His face is streaked with dirt and blood, his beard unkempt from weeks of campaigning. A deep wound in his left thigh stains his leggings crimson, and his right hand clutches a broken dagger, the blade snapped near the hilt.
