TNGF
SELECTED
Robert the Bruce
primary
A powerfully built man in his early 30s with a warrior's physique, standing tall with broad shoulders. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with piercing blue eyes that convey both intelligence and resolve. Dark brown hair falls to his shoulders, slightly unkempt, and he sports a short, well-trimmed beard. A faded scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Bishop of St Andrews
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with a deeply lined face that speaks of both wisdom and austerity. His piercing grey eyes are framed by arched brows, and his thin lips are set in a firm line. His hands are long-fingered and slightly trembling with age, yet they move with deliberate precision during the sacred rites.
Scottish Noble
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His thick red beard is streaked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes scan the abbey with military precision. His right hand rests on the hilt of his claymore, fingers twitching with restrained energy.
Abbot of Scone
secondary
A thin, middle-aged man with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes, his tonsured head showing graying hair at the edges. His hands are clasped tightly together, the knuckles white with tension.
Guard Captain
background
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face bears several old scars, including a prominent one across his left cheekbone. His piercing blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings with military precision. His hands are calloused from years of gripping weapons.

Coronamus te, Robertus Brus, Rex Scottorum, per hanc unctionem et impositionem manus nostrae...

Aye, we accept this burden not for ourselves, but for Scotland entire.

The Sasannach willnae let this stand unchallenged.
Robert the Bruce
Let Edward come. We are no Longshanks' vassals this day.
Bishop of St Andrews
As David was anointed before the Lord, so now stands Scotland's rightful king.

Then let every man here swear on his steel - this crown will need more than gold to keep it!
