TNGF
SELECTED
Ottokar II
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late twenties with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His dark blonde hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a short, well-groomed beard. His posture exudes confidence and authority, befitting a king.
Margaret of Babenberg
primary
A striking noblewoman in her mid-thirties, with a regal bearing and delicate features. Her fair complexion is framed by intricately braided golden hair, adorned with a delicate circlet. She has piercing blue eyes that reflect both intelligence and melancholy.
Bishop of Vienna
secondary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s, with sharp features and deep-set eyes that reflect both wisdom and weariness. His silver hair is neatly trimmed beneath his mitre, and his hands, though adorned with a simple episcopal ring, are calloused from years of writing and prayer.
Lady-in-Waiting
secondary
A young woman in her early twenties, slender with delicate features, pale complexion, and neatly braided auburn hair partially covered by a wimple. She moves with practiced grace, her hands deft and sure as she attends to Margaret.
Bohemian Noble
background
A middle-aged nobleman with sharp, angular features and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with quiet intensity. His posture is upright, betraying years of military discipline, and his hands are clasped behind his back, fingers occasionally twitching as if restless.

Dialog

Bishop of Vienna In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, we gather to unite these noble souls in holy matrimony.
Ottokar II As steel finds its purpose in the smith's forge, so too shall this union forge the destiny of our lands.
Margaret of Babenberg I accept this bond with the solemn duty it requires, as the vine accepts the trellis that guides its growth.
Bishop of Vienna Let this union be blessed as the olive branch was blessed after the flood—a covenant of peace between noble houses.
Ottokar II By this joining, Bohemia and Austria shall stand as twin pillars, supporting the arch of Christendom.
Margaret of Babenberg May our shared burdens be lightened by mutual purpose, as two oxen share the yoke yet halve the toil.
Bishop of Vienna Quod Deus coniunxit, homo non separet. What God has joined, let no man put asunder.
