Battle of Morgarten

Swiss Confederates ambush the Habsburg army in Morgarten Pass, using the terrain to their advantage to launch a surprise attack with rocks, logs, and halberds.

Setting

Morgarten Pass, a narrow mountain path flanked by steep cliffs and dense forests, with a marshy lake at the base. The terrain is rugged, with loose rocks and uneven ground, making movement difficult for armored knights.

TNGF

SELECTED

Swiss Militia Leader

primary

A rugged man in his early 40s with broad shoulders and a muscular build, honed from years of farming and fighting. His sun-weathered face is framed by a short, unkempt beard, and his piercing blue eyes scan the terrain with the precision of a seasoned hunter. A faded scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.

Habsburg Knight

primary

A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s, with a stern, weathered face marked by a battle scar across his left cheek. His cold blue eyes survey the terrain with a mix of suspicion and arrogance. His plate armor, polished to a dull sheen, bears the crest of the House of Habsburg.

Swiss Halberdier

secondary

A young Swiss fighter, approximately 20 years old, with a wiry but strong build from years of farm labor and militia training. His face is tanned from outdoor work, with sharp features and a determined jawline. His hands are calloused and grip the halberd with practiced ease.

Habsburg Sergeant

secondary

A grizzled veteran in his late 40s with a square jaw covered by a short, graying beard. His face bears several old scars, including a prominent one running from his left temple to cheekbone. Broad-shouldered with a muscular build hardened by decades of campaigning, though his posture shows the slight stoop of a man who's carried heavy armor too long.

Swiss Archer

background

A wiry man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from years of hunting. His sharp eyes are narrowed in concentration, framed by deep crow's feet. A thin beard clings to his angular jawline.

Swiss Militia Leader Hold... Let them march deeper into the trap. Like sheep to slaughter.

Habsburg Sergeant Scheiß terrain! Tighten ranks—no gaps!

Swiss Militia Leader Now. Roll the stones.

Habsburg Sergeant AMBUSH! Shields up, you fools!

Habsburg Knight Stand fast! These peasants dare not face us in open—
