TNGF
SELECTED
King Edward I
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s with a strong, athletic build despite his age. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with piercing grey eyes and a long, aquiline nose. His once-dark hair is now streaked with silver, and he wears a neatly trimmed beard. A faint scar runs across his left cheekbone, a reminder of past battles.
John Balliol
primary
A man of noble bearing, with a strong but weary frame. His face is lined with the weight of leadership, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and a growing sense of desperation. His shoulder-length auburn hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a simple leather thong.
English Knight
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by a scar across his left cheek. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with the precision of a seasoned warrior.
Scottish Commander
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged warrior with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, unkempt red beard streaked with gray. His muscular build and numerous scars attest to years of battle. His hands are calloused, and his stance is that of a man accustomed to command.
Scottish Archer
background
A wiry, sun-weathered man in his late 20s with a lean, muscular build from years of drawing longbows. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, with piercing blue eyes that squint against the battlefield's dust. His hands are calloused, and his forearms bear the telltale strength of a seasoned archer.

Dialog

King Edward I Let the rebellious Scots feel the weight of our justice this day. They shall learn the price of defiance against their rightful sovereign.
English Knight As you command, my liege. The archers are positioned to rain death upon their ranks.
John Balliol Stand fast, men of Scotland! For every inch of ground they take, let them pay in blood!
King Edward I Observe how their lines falter. Like a stag cornered by hounds, Balliol's defiance only delays the inevitable.
English Knight Their left flank crumbles, sire. Shall we press the advantage?
John Balliol By God's grace, we must hold! If Dunbar falls, all Scotland falls with it!
King Edward I Give the order. Let the hammer fall upon the anvil of their pride.
