TNGF
SELECTED
Charles V of France
primary
A tall, slender man in his mid-twenties with a composed bearing, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His pale complexion contrasts with his dark brown hair, which is cut short in the fashion of the nobility.
Archbishop of Reims
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a gaunt yet dignified face framed by wispy white hair. His deep-set eyes exude wisdom, and his posture, though slightly stooped with age, carries an air of solemn authority. His thin hands are adorned with a large episcopal ring.
Queen Jeanne de Bourbon
secondary
A woman in her early 30s with a regal bearing, high cheekbones, and piercing blue eyes. Her fair complexion is accentuated by the light filtering through the stained glass windows. She stands with quiet dignity, her posture impeccable.
Noble Observer
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman of distinguished bearing, with sharp, observant eyes that miss little. His face is clean-shaven, revealing a strong jawline and high cheekbones, framed by neatly trimmed chestnut hair streaked with silver. His posture is upright, betraying years of military training and courtly discipline.
Cathedral Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s or early 40s, with a weathered face, a thick beard, and a permanent squint from years of standing watch. His hands are calloused, gripping his halberd tightly. A faded scar runs across his left cheekbone.

Dialog

Archbishop of Reims In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti... Accipe coronam regni, Carolus Quintus, Dei gratia Rex Francorum.
Charles V of France Sic servabo fidem Deo et populo meo, ut regnum hoc in pace et justitia regatur.
Noble Observer Deo volente, this coronation may yet unite the factions... though Burgundy's interests must not be forgotten in this new reign.
Archbishop of Reims Unguo te oleo sanctificato in regem et rectorem populi Christiani, sicut uncti fuerunt Saul et David.
Charles V of France The burden is heavy, but by the grace of our Lord and the wisdom of my counselors, France shall rise from these troubled times.
Noble Observer Mark how he speaks of counselors... a prudent choice of words that neither commits nor excludes.
