TNGF
SELECTED
Robert the Bruce
primary
A gaunt, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a once-powerful frame now weakened by illness. His reddish-brown hair is streaked with gray, and his beard is neatly trimmed but thin. His hands, resting on the bed covers, show the calluses of a lifelong warrior.
Sir James Douglas
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered knight in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by years of battle. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical warrior's knot. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to his martial prowess. His piercing blue eyes are currently red-rimmed from suppressed emotion.
Bishop of St. Andrews
secondary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 60s with a deeply lined face that speaks of years of contemplation and service. His pale blue eyes are sharp yet compassionate, framed by thin white eyebrows. His hands are long-fingered and slightly trembling with age, yet they move with deliberate grace during the sacred rites.
Knight Attendant
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of battle. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the Norman style, and a thick beard partially conceals a scar running from his left cheekbone to his jaw. His hands, resting on his sword hilt, bear the calluses of a lifelong warrior.
Physician
background
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a gaunt face framed by a short, greying beard. His deep-set eyes are shadowed with fatigue, and his hands are steady but worn from years of practice. His posture is slightly stooped, suggesting long hours spent in study and at the bedside of the sick.
Dialog
Robert the Bruce
James... ye maun carry my heart tae the Holy Land... as we vowed. Let it lead ye as it led Scotland.
Sir James Douglas
By Saint Andrew's bones, I swear it, my liege. Your heart shall strike fear in Christ's enemies as it did in England's.
Bishop of St. Andrews
In nomine Patris... accipe viaticum, fili dilecte...
Robert the Bruce
Tell... my people... I kept my oath. Scotland... is free.
Sir James Douglas
Aye, and by God's wounds they'll remember it for a thousand years!
Bishop of St. Andrews
As David said unto Solomon... 'Be strong, and show thyself a man'. This king has shown himself tenfold.
Robert the Bruce
Douglas... dinnae weep. A Scot should meet death... as he met Bannockburn... with a sword in hand... and a jest on his lips.
