Setting

The battlefield of Ardscull, a flat expanse of frozen earth interspersed with patches of snow and dead grass. The landscape is dotted with small hills and scattered trees, their bare branches reaching skyward like skeletal fingers. The ground is churned and muddy from the movement of troops and horses.

TNGF
SELECTED
Irish Chieftain
primary
A burly man in his late forties with a wild mane of red hair streaked with grey, his face weathered by years of battle and harsh Irish winters. His piercing blue eyes burn with intensity beneath thick brows. He has a broad chest and muscular arms, bearing numerous scars from past conflicts. A thick beard, braided in places with leather cords, frames his square jaw.
English Knight
primary
A robust man in his early thirties, with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the scars of previous battles, and his sun-weathered skin speaks of long campaigns. His muscular frame is clad in chainmail reinforced with steel plates at the shoulders and knees. A surcoat bearing the crest of his lord drapes over his armor.
Irish Warrior
secondary
A seasoned Irish fighter, loyal to the chieftain, wielding a spear. He is a burly man in his late 30s, with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, unkempt red beard. His muscular build suggests years of battle and hard labor.
Squire
secondary
A young man in his late teens, with a lean but wiry build, his fair skin flushed from exertion. His short, dark brown hair is tousled under a simple coif, and his bright blue eyes are wide with urgency.
Archer
background
A wiry English longbowman in his late twenties, with sunken cheeks and a gaunt appearance from years of campaigning. His arms are sinewy from constant use of the longbow, and his fingers bear callouses from drawing the heavy yew bowstring. His eyes are narrowed in concentration, squinting against the cold wind.

English Knight Mind the flanks—their kern are slipping past our right!
Squire Aye, Sir! I'll sound the horn for the archers!
