Setting

A muddy battlefield near Stirling, Scotland, with the River Bannock flowing nearby. The terrain is uneven with patches of boggy ground, scattered with broken weapons and fallen banners. The Scottish schiltron formations stand firm in tight circles, their spears bristling outward like a hedgehog's spines, while English cavalry flounder in the mire.

TNGF
SELECTED
Robert the Bruce
primary
A powerfully built man in his early 40s with a warrior's physique, standing tall despite the battle's toll. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that command attention. Dark brown hair, slightly graying at the temples, frames his face, and he sports a short, well-kept beard. A scar runs diagonally across his right cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A rugged, battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and mud, and a thick beard frames his square jaw. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His piercing blue eyes are fierce with determination as he shouts orders to his men.
Scottish Spearman
secondary
A rugged, weather-beaten man in his late twenties to early thirties, with a muscular build from years of labor and warfare. His face is streaked with sweat and grime, his beard short and unkempt. His hands are calloused from gripping his spear, and his eyes are sharp with focus and determination.
English Knight
secondary
A broad-shouldered, middle-aged nobleman with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His chainmail is mud-splattered, and his surcoat bears the faded colors of his lord's heraldry. His eyes are wide with panic, and his face is streaked with sweat and grime.
English Squire
background
A young man in his late teens, slender but wiry from years of training. His face is smeared with mud and sweat, his short brown hair plastered to his forehead. His hands are raw from gripping his knight's armor, and his wide, panicked eyes dart between his trapped master and the advancing Scottish forces.
