The decisive clash between John de Montfort's and Charles de Blois's forces is about to begin on the muddy fields near Auray. Knights prepare for a brutal charge, English longbowmen notch their arrows

Setting

A muddy field near Auray, Brittany, surrounded by dense forests and the occasional stone farmhouse. The battlefield is littered with the remnants of earlier skirmishes—broken weapons, trampled banners, and the occasional body. The nearby Château d'Auray looms in the distance, its stone walls a silent witness to the carnage.

TNGF

SELECTED

John de Montfort

primary

A robust man in his early forties, with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that command attention. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone—a testament to past battles. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his bascinet, and his beard is neatly trimmed in the Norman fashion.

Charles de Blois

primary

A tall, lean man in his early 50s with a gaunt face marked by years of campaigning. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with a commander's intensity. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and kept short in the practical style of a warrior noble. He sits astride a massive destrier warhorse with practiced ease.

Montfort Knight

secondary

A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His muscular frame shows signs of a lifetime of combat, though his movements remain precise. His steel-gray hair is cropped short beneath his mail coif, and his piercing blue eyes constantly scan the battlefield.

Blois Knight

secondary

A young knight in his early twenties, with a lean but muscular build from years of training. His face is clean-shaven, revealing a fresh scar across his left cheekbone from a previous skirmish. His dark brown hair is slightly tousled under his helmet, and his piercing blue eyes are fixed intently on his commander.

English Longbowman

background

A wiry, sun-browned man in his late 30s with deep-set eyes and a permanent squint from years of archery practice. His forearms are corded with muscle, and his fingers bear the calluses of a lifelong bowman. A thin scar runs from his left temple to jawline—a souvenir from Crécy.

Breton Phalanx Soldier

background

A wiry Breton infantryman in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and a short, unkempt beard. His hands bear callouses from years of gripping weapons and shields. Dark circles under his eyes betray fatigue from the campaign.

Dialog

John de Montfort By the bones of Saint Yves, today we forge Brittany's fate with steel!

Charles de Blois God wills that justice shall prevail this day. Let no man forget his duty.

Montfort Knight Aye, my lord. Their center looks thin as Lenten broth.

John de Montfort Then we'll serve them hot steel for supper! Archers—loose when you see the whites of their eyes!

Charles de Blois Montfort relies too much on his English bows. The Lord protects those who keep faith with their ancestral oaths.

Montfort Knight Their knights are forming the boar's head—we'll need more pikemen on the left.

John de Montfort Then we'll be the anvil to their hammer! Sound the advance!
