TNGF
SELECTED
Albert I
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a short, well-groomed beard. His posture exudes regal authority, though a subtle tension in his shoulders betrays the weight of the moment.
Archbishop of Mainz
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s with a gaunt face and piercing gray eyes that command attention. His thinning white hair is cropped short in the clerical tonsure, and his long fingers bear the ink stains of a scholar. There's a slight stoop to his shoulders from decades bent over sacred texts.
Nobleman
secondary
A tall, aristocratic man in his mid-40s with a sharp, angular face, piercing blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with silver. His posture exudes authority, and his hands are adorned with several signet rings.
Acolyte
secondary
A young male cleric in his early twenties, slender build with delicate features. His clean-shaven face has a pallor common to those who spend much time indoors. His hands are smooth and uncalloused, holding the ceremonial vessel with practiced care.
Guard Captain
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by a faint scar running from his left temple to jawline. His piercing blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings with military precision. Short-cropped dark brown hair shows streaks of gray at the temples, and his well-groomed beard is trimmed to a point in the style favored by landsknecht officers.

Dialog

Archbishop of Mainz In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, we crown thee, Albert, King of the Romans, under the watchful eyes of God and His Church.
Albert I By the grace of God and the will of the princes, I accept this sacred charge, praying for wisdom to rule justly.
Nobleman A heavy crown indeed, my liege. Mayhaps heavier than some would bear.
Albert I Let those who doubt my strength remember that a crown is but a symbol - the true weight lies in the service to our people and faith.
Archbishop of Mainz The oil of chrism seals this holy bond between king and kingdom. Let no man dare sunder what God has joined.
