TNGF
SELECTED
King Edward I
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a strong, angular face and piercing grey eyes. His long, silver-streaked dark hair is neatly combed, and he sports a well-trimmed beard. His stature commands attention, standing a head taller than most men around him.
Scottish Noble
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, graying auburn beard. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his posture still carries the pride of a warrior despite the defeat.
English Commander
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a close-cropped brown beard, and piercing blue eyes that survey the scene with military precision. His nose bears the faint scar of an old battle wound.
Scottish Guard
secondary
A burly man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His muscular build suggests years of military training, and his hands are calloused from wielding weapons. A fresh bruise on his cheekbone hints at recent combat.
English Soldier
background
A young, wiry foot soldier in his early twenties, with a sunburnt face and short, unkempt brown hair. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons, and his stance is alert, ready for any sign of resistance.

Dialog

Scottish Noble By the will of the Almighty and for the lives of my people, I yield Edinburgh Castle unto thee, King Edward.
King Edward I We accept thy surrender in the name of our rightful sovereignty over these lands. Let it be known that resistance to our crown shall meet no mercy.
English Commander My liege, the outer defenses are secured. Shall I quarter our men within the walls?
King Edward I Aye, and post double watches. These Scots have shown they bite even when leashed.
Scottish Noble Mark well, Longshanks - no conqueror holds Scotland forever. Our stones remember.
English Commander Silence that traitor's tongue!
King Edward I Stay thy hand. Let his words stand as testament to what becomes of rebellion against our divine right.
