SELECTED
John IV of Brittany
primary
A man in his early 30s with a lean but muscular build, standing at average height for the period. His face is clean-shaven with sharp Breton features—high cheekbones and a strong jawline. Dark brown hair falls just past his ears, slightly curled at the ends. His piercing blue eyes betray both intelligence and wariness.
Charles V of France
primary
A tall, slender man in his late twenties with sharp, intelligent features. His face is clean-shaven, with high cheekbones and piercing blue eyes that convey both wisdom and wariness. His posture is erect, exuding royal authority, though there's a slight tension in his shoulders from the weight of negotiations.
Breton Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and ink-stained fingers from years of meticulous writing. His dark hair is cropped short in the clerical style, and his pale complexion suggests long hours spent indoors with manuscripts.
French Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, sharp features, and ink-stained fingers from years of meticulous writing. His dark hair is neatly trimmed, and his pale complexion suggests long hours spent indoors by candlelight.
Breton Noble
background
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that reflect his Breton heritage. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and he sports a well-groomed beard.

French Noble
background
A middle-aged man of aristocratic bearing, with a sharp, angular face framed by neatly trimmed dark brown hair and a closely cropped beard.

He stands slightly apart from the main negotiations, observing with the detached air of one accustomed to power.

Dialog

Charles V of France Let this treaty stand as binding as a sacrament, Duke John—may it bring peace to our lands as the olive branch brought respite to Noah.
John IV of Brittany Peace, yes—but let it be remembered these are Breton lands first, sworn to no crown but their own. The wax seals will dry, but the stones remember.
Charles V of France Prudent words. As Plautus wrote, 'In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men.' Shall we restore health to Brittany today?
John IV of Brittany Aye—provided the physic isn't more bitter than the malady. These terms regarding Saint-Malo's tariffs...
Charles V of France Consider it the price of peace's embrace—as the harvest requires both sun and rain. Our scribes have accounted every livre with Solomon's wisdom.
John IV of Brittany Then let Solomon's ghost count these coins himself—but mark well, Majesty: Breton ships sail by Breton stars.
Charles V of France And may those stars guide us both to calmer waters. Thus ends thirty years' tempest.
