TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Clement VI
primary
A man in his late 50s, with a slightly portly build and a dignified bearing. His face is lined with age and responsibility, with deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and weariness. His hands are delicate, accustomed to holding the papal staff rather than manual labor.
Cardinal Guillaume
secondary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with sharp, angular features and deep-set, piercing blue eyes. His thinning silver hair is neatly trimmed, and his pale complexion contrasts with the rich red of his cardinal's robes. His hands are long and delicate, often clasped together in thought or prayer.
Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a pale complexion and deep-set eyes that squint slightly from years of meticulous work. His hands are ink-stained, and his fingers are long and delicate, accustomed to the precise movements of quill on parchment. His hair is thinning and dark, with streaks of grey, pulled back neatly under a simple cap.
Papal Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face and close-cropped dark hair. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with vigilance, and his strong jaw is set firmly. His hands, calloused from years of wielding weapons, rest on the hilt of his sword.

Dialog

Pope Clement VI Quamvis perfidiam Iudaeorum sit odibilis Deo, tamen Christiana pietas suadet ut eos a crudelitate et iniuria protegamus...
Pope Clement VI Let it be known that any Christian who slays a Jew or despoils their goods without lawful judgment shall incur the wrath of Holy Mother Church.
Cardinal Guillaume Your Holiness, this shall be as a shield unto them... yet I fear the common folk may not heed such wisdom in their terror of the pestilence.
Pope Clement VI Then we must make the penalty grave enough to stay even the most fearful hand - excommunication latae sententiae for any who dare violate this decree.
Cardinal Guillaume As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans: 'Recompense to no man evil for evil.' This bull shall be your epistle to Christendom.
