TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s, with a wiry but strong build, sun-weathered skin, and piercing dark eyes. His face is framed by a short, unkempt beard, and his hands are calloused from years of labor. A faint scar runs across his left cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.
Royal Tax Collector
primary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sharp nose, and thin lips that seem permanently pursed in disapproval. His pale complexion suggests a life spent indoors, away from the sun. His posture is rigid, though his hands tremble slightly, betraying his nervousness. His eyes dart around the crowd, avoiding direct contact with the peasants.
Peasant Woman
secondary
A gaunt woman in her late 30s with sunken cheeks and calloused hands, her face weathered by years of toil. Her dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back in a frayed kerchief. Her eyes burn with a mixture of desperation and fury.
Guard
secondary
A young man in his mid-20s, of average height but with a wiry build, suggesting both agility and nervous energy. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp cheekbones and a slightly upturned nose. His eyes dart frequently, betraying his unease. His hands grip his spear tightly, knuckles whitening with tension.
Blacksmith
background
A burly man in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of hammering metal. His face is weathered and darkened by soot, with a thick, unkempt beard. His hands are large and calloused, gripping a heavy hammer with practiced ease.
Dialog
Wat Tyler
By the blood of our broken backs, we'll not pay another penny! The king's men have sucked us dry like leeches!
Royal Tax Collector
Good people, I implore you—this is treason! The crown's taxes are lawful and just, as decreed by His Majesty's own hand!
Peasant Woman
Lawful? Just? My children gnaw on roots while your granaries burst! No more!
Wat Tyler
Hear her! Every soul here bears the scars of your 'justice'! Today we write our own laws—with fire and steel!
Royal Tax Collector
I—I shall report this insolence to the sheriff! You'll all hang for this!
Peasant Woman
Aye, let him try! The rope that hangs one will strangle a hundred more!
Wat Tyler
To London! We'll show the king what justice truly means!
