TNGF
SELECTED
Richard II
primary
A fair-haired boy of ten years, with delicate features and a slight build, standing shorter than the men around him. His skin is pale, untouched by the sun, and his large, blue eyes reflect both the weight of his crown and the innocence of youth.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man of slight build, with a gaunt face marked by deep lines of wisdom and piety. His white hair is thinning, and his pale blue eyes hold a serene intensity. His hands are delicate, with long fingers accustomed to handling sacred texts.
John of Gaunt
secondary
A tall, imposing man in his late thirties with a strong, angular face, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture exudes authority, and his broad shoulders suggest both nobility and military prowess. His hands are clasped firmly, showing restraint and control.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged lord with a lean, aristocratic build, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and skepticism.
Abbey Guard
background
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with weathered skin and a closely cropped beard. His thick fingers are wrapped tightly around his sword hilt. A faded scar runs from his right temple to his jawline, evidence of past battles.

Dialog

Archbishop of Canterbury In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we anoint thee, Richard, by the grace of God, King of England. Deus per quem reges regnant.
Richard II We... I shall bear this crown with the wisdom of Solomon and the courage of Saint George.
Nobleman Solomon was twelve when God granted him wisdom. Does the Abbey echo with divine whispers today, or merely a boy's fancy?
Archbishop of Canterbury The Lord shields the innocent as David shielded his flock. Have faith, my child, for He has chosen thee as His instrument.
Richard II Where is our uncle Gaunt? We... We would have him stand nearer.
Nobleman Ah. The lion pup seeks his keeper. How fortunate England has the Duke to... guide young paws.
Archbishop of Canterbury Peace, my lords. This sacred hour demands reverence, not whispers. The Holy Spirit descends upon Westminster this day.
