TNGF
SELECTED
Robert the Bruce
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a warrior's physique, his face bears the marks of both battle and hardship. His dark brown hair is slightly tousled, and his piercing blue eyes reflect determination and the weight of kingship. A prominent scar runs along his right cheekbone, a testament to his combat experience.
Bishop of St Andrews
primary
A man in his late fifties, with a gaunt yet dignified face framed by thinning silver hair. His piercing blue eyes convey both spiritual authority and worldly wisdom, honed through decades of ecclesiastical and political maneuvering. His hands, raised in blessing, are long-fingered and pale, with prominent veins tracing their backs.
Scottish Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a tall and lean frame, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes reflect both intelligence and a warrior's resolve, while his calloused hands suggest a life not entirely spent in comfort.
Warrior
secondary
A battle-hardened Scottish soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat. His face bears several scars, including a prominent one across his left cheek. His beard is short and unkempt, and his piercing blue eyes show a mix of vigilance and loyalty. His hands are calloused and grip his sword firmly.
Abbot of Scone
background
A middle-aged man of slight build, with thinning gray hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His pale complexion suggests a life spent mostly indoors, and his eyes are sharp with intelligence.
Dialog
Bishop of St Andrews
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, ego te consecro et corona, Robertus, Rex Scottorum.
Robert the Bruce
By this stone and by this oil, I swear to defend Scotia's freedom with my life's blood.
Scottish Noble
The English king will not suffer this coronation lightly. Edward's wrath comes swift as winter storms.
Robert the Bruce
Let Longshanks rage. Our cause is just, our resolve unbroken. Today we reclaim what was stolen.
Bishop of St Andrews
May God and Saint Andrew shield this realm. The Church stands with Scotland, though Rome may thunder.
Scottish Noble
Then let the war horns sound across the glens. We march with our king, come fire or sword.
Robert the Bruce
Today we write our fate in the old tongue—Alba gu bràth!
