SELECTED

John IV of Brittany

primary

A robust man in his early 30s, with a broad frame and warrior's bearing. His face bears the marks of campaign life - a faded scar crossing his left eyebrow and a permanently tanned complexion from years outdoors. Thick chestnut hair falls just above his shoulders, kept in check by a simple leather band. His piercing grey eyes constantly assess his surroundings.

Charles V of France

primary

A tall, slender man in his late twenties with sharp, intelligent features, a closely trimmed beard, and piercing dark eyes that convey both intellect and authority. His pale complexion suggests a life spent more in study than battle, though his posture carries regal bearing.

Breton Scribe

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight build, with thin shoulders and ink-stained fingers. His face is clean-shaven, revealing deep-set eyes and a furrowed brow from years of meticulous work. Short, dark hair is neatly trimmed, and his pale complexion suggests long hours spent indoors.

French Diplomat

secondary

A tall, lean man in his late 40s with sharp, angular features and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with grey. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and a calculating nature, observing every nuance of the negotiations. His hands are well-manicured, suggesting a life unaccustomed to physical labor.

Montfort Noble

background

A middle-aged Breton nobleman of sturdy build, with a weathered face framed by a short, well-groomed beard. His piercing blue eyes, a hallmark of Breton nobility, scan the room with quiet vigilance. His hands bear the callouses of a man trained for war, though his current posture suggests relief from battle.

Blois Noble

background

A middle-aged nobleman with a sharp, angular face and piercing blue eyes that betray his restrained frustration. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and his clean-shaven face reflects the fashion of the French court. He stands with an upright posture, his broad shoulders hinting at years of military training.

Dialog

John IV of Brittany This clause binds Brittany's ports to French inspection—would you have us bow like vassals, not sovereign allies?

Charles V of France As Justinian decreed, even kings are subject to the common defense. The English still lurk in your harbors, cousin.

French Diplomat Might a... shared patrol suffice? Breton captains alongside ours, to preserve dignity while securing the realm?

John IV of Brittany Our fathers bled for these shores. I'll not see their sacrifice undone by parchment subtleties.

Charles V of France Then let us seal this with Montfort's lion beside the fleur-de-lis—provided your captains swear fealty for those joint patrols.
