TNGF
SELECTED
King Edward III of England
primary
A tall, slender young man of 16 years with fair complexion, piercing blue eyes, and shoulder-length golden-brown hair. His clean-shaven face shows the softness of youth but is set with a regal bearing. His hands are well-manicured but grip the armrests of his chair with restrained tension.
Scottish Ambassador
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face and piercing blue eyes. His red beard is neatly trimmed, and his hands bear the callouses of both sword and quill. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
English Advisor
secondary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with sharp features and a neatly trimmed grey beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both wisdom and wariness, with deep-set wrinkles that speak of years spent in courtly intrigue. His posture remains upright despite his age, showing the discipline of a lifelong noble.
Scottish Scribe
secondary
A wiry man in his late 30s with ink-stained fingers and prematurely graying brown hair tied back with a leather cord. His sharp features are accentuated by deep-set blue eyes that dart between the negotiators and his parchment.
English Guard Captain
background
A grizzled veteran soldier in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His muscular frame shows the wear of decades of military service, with broad shoulders and calloused hands that grip his sword hilt with practiced ease. His short-cropped salt-and-pepper beard and steely gaze mark him as a hardened warrior.

Dialog

Scottish Ambassador By the terms set forth, King Robert shall hold Scotland as a free and sovereign kingdom, with no allegiance owed to the English crown.
King Edward III By God's grace we rule these isles, and it wounds our royal dignity to see them thus divided.
English Advisor With due respect, Your Grace, the status quo ante bellum favors neither realm. Peace now may forge stronger bonds than continued war.
Scottish Ambassador As the old saying goes in the Highlands - a treaty signed under duress is like a sword balanced on a finger. Let this peace stand freely given.
King Edward III We are not accustomed to being schooled in statecraft, ambassador. Yet... we see the wisdom in cessation of hostilities.
English Advisor The chronicles will record this day as one of prudent statesmanship, Your Grace. The realm needs respite from war's burdens.
King Edward III Let the scribes record then - we affix our seal to these terms, though it sits heavy in our hand.
