TNGF
SELECTED
Alexander III of Scotland
primary
A young boy of slender build with fair, shoulder-length hair and a pale complexion. His youthful face bears the solemnity of his royal duty, with bright, intelligent eyes that betray both nervousness and determination. His hands are small but steady, clasped before him in a regal manner.
Bishop of St Andrews
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s with a gaunt face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His silver-streaked beard is neatly trimmed, and his hands bear the calluses of frequent prayer. His posture is erect, conveying both spiritual authority and physical endurance.
Scottish Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man of imposing stature with a broad chest and weathered features, his reddish-brown beard neatly trimmed in the fashion of Scottish nobility. His piercing blue eyes survey the ceremony with keen interest, framed by deep-set wrinkles that speak of both wisdom and battles endured.
Abbot of Scone
secondary
A middle-aged man with a sturdy build, his face lined with the marks of wisdom and quiet devotion. His salt-and-pepper beard is neatly trimmed, and his deep-set eyes bear the serene intensity of a man accustomed to spiritual contemplation. His hands, though strong from years of labor in the abbey, cradle the ceremonial staff with reverence.
Royal Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face and close-cropped dark beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with military precision. Chainmail covers his torso beneath a surcoat bearing the royal arms of Scotland, and his muscular arms suggest years of combat training.

I will serve Scotland as my father did, with all my heart and strength.

Aye, the lad speaks well for his years. May God grant him wisdom beyond them.

As David was chosen from the flocks, so too are you called to shepherd this nation.

On the Stone of Destiny, I swear it shall be so.

The Stone bears witness today, as it has for a hundred kings before him.

Let all present bear witness to this sacred covenant between king and kingdom.
