TNGF

SELECTED

Charles VI

primary

A slender 12-year-old boy with delicate features, pale complexion, and shoulder-length golden-brown hair. His youthful face still carries the softness of childhood, but his blue eyes show a growing awareness of his royal responsibilities.

Philip the Bold

primary

A robust man in his late 30s with a commanding presence, broad shoulders, and a well-groomed beard. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with calculated intensity, and his strong jawline is set in determination.

Louis I of Anjou

secondary

A middle-aged nobleman with a sharp, angular face and piercing dark eyes. His posture is rigid, betraying his military background, and his hands are clasped tightly behind his back. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his beard is neatly trimmed in the fashion of the French nobility.

John of Berry

secondary

A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a sharp, angular face framed by a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with quiet intensity. His posture is upright, betraying his aristocratic upbringing, and his hands are clasped together in front of him, fingers occasionally twitching as if calculating unseen moves.

Archbishop of Reims

secondary

A tall, elderly man with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and weariness. His white hair is thinning, and his hands are slightly gnarled with age, yet they move with deliberate precision during the sacred rites.

Noble Observer

background

A middle-aged nobleman with a sharp, angular face and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes dart between the young king and the uncles, observing the political undercurrents. He stands with a slight hunch, as if accustomed to whispering in corners.

Dialog

Archbishop of Reims Unguento sancto perungo te, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. May the Lord grant you wisdom to rule His people.

Charles VI We... I accept this sacred duty before God and our realm.

Philip the Bold Mark how Anjou positions himself - like a stork eyeing the same fish as its fellow.

Charles VI Must the oil burn so? It... it feels like fire upon my brow.

Archbishop of Reims As the holy chrism purifies, so must a king bear earthly trials, my child.

Philip the Bold The boy flinches at sacred oil - best we reinforce the regency terms while he remains... impressionable.

Charles VI By Saint Denis' blood, I shall be worthy!
