SELECTED
Irish Chieftain
primary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, his face weathered by years of battle and harsh winters. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back with a leather thong. Deep-set blue eyes show both exhaustion and unwavering determination. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline, marking an old wound.
Spearman
secondary
A seasoned Irish warrior in his late thirties, with a wiry but strong build honed by years of battle. His face is weathered, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth, and a jagged scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His hands are chapped and calloused from gripping weapons, and his knuckles are white around his spear. His dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back with a leather thong.
Archer
secondary
A lean young Irish bowman in his early twenties, with a wiry build honed by years of archery practice. His fair skin is flushed from the cold, and his light brown hair is tousled by the wind. His sharp blue eyes constantly scan the horizon, reflecting both alertness and underlying fatigue. His hands, though calloused from bowstring use, tremble slightly from the winter chill.
Scout
background
A wiry young man in his early 20s, with a lean, sinewy build honed by years of running messages across rough terrain. His face is wind-chapped, and his dark hair is matted with sweat. His keen eyes, though currently wide with urgency, suggest sharp observational skills.
Dialog
Irish Chieftain
The crows will feast well today, lads—but not on our flesh. Stand firm, and let the Normans taste our iron.
Spearman
Aye, chief. But their numbers are thick as winter fog, and our bellies are empty.
Irish Chieftain
Hunger sharpens a man’s edge. They’ll remember this day—when the wolves of Éire stood their ground.
Spearman
Then let them come. My spear thirsts as much as I do.
