Characters
Adolf of Nassau
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His once-groomed beard is now unkempt from battle, streaked with grey. His hands bear the calluses of a warrior, and his posture remains regal despite the chaos around him.
Albert I of Habsburg
primary
A powerfully built man in his late 30s with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that burn with ambition. His face bears the weathered tan of campaign life, framed by shoulder-length chestnut hair streaked with premature gray. A diagonal scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone—a souvenir from earlier battles.
Knight Captain
secondary
A seasoned knight in his late 40s, broad-shouldered with a weathered face marked by scars from past battles. His graying beard and stern blue eyes reflect years of military experience.
Foot Soldier
secondary
A rugged man in his late twenties, with a wiry but strong build from years of military service. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, with a fresh cut on his cheek. His hands are calloused and grip his weapon tightly.
Squire
background
A young squire, likely in his mid-teens, with a lean but wiry build from years of training. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, his short brown hair tousled from the chaos of battle. His hands are calloused from handling weapons and armor, and his cheeks still bear the softness of youth.

By the blood of my ancestors, we will not yield this field to that Habsburg usurper! Knights to me!

Spears forward! Hold the line—let none pass!

By Saint Martin’s blade, they push hard! Our ranks thin—where is our king?

I see his banner—Albert thinks this day won! Break their center and let them taste steel!

The crown weighs heavy, Adolf. Yield now, and I may yet spare your men.

Spare them? You butcher kings and call it mercy! To me, men—one last charge!
