Rebel entry into London
Thousands of peasants, led by Wat Tyler, storm into London through Aldgate, demanding economic reforms and the abolition of serfdom. The Tower of London looms in the background as the rebels march tow
Setting
Aldgate, one of the main gates of medieval London, with the Tower of London visible in the distance. The gate is open, and the road leading into the city is packed with rebels. The surrounding area is a mix of timber-framed houses and narrow, winding streets.

TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with intensity, and a long scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to past conflicts. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and he sits astride his horse with the ease of a man accustomed to hard living.
Rebel Lieutenant
secondary
A wiry, middle-aged man with sun-weathered skin and a close-cropped beard. His left ear bears an old scar from a farming accident, and his hands are calloused from years of labor. He moves with the quick, efficient motions of someone accustomed to hard work and sudden danger.
Aldgate Watchman
secondary
A middle-aged city guard with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a slightly hunched posture from years of standing watch. His hair is thinning and greying, and his hands are calloused from gripping his halberd. His uniform is slightly ill-fitting, suggesting he may have recently been pressed into service.
Rebel Archer
background
A wiry peasant in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from years of farm labor. His keen eyes constantly scan the rooftops, betraying his experience as a village hunter. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline - likely from a lord's punishment.
Baker's Wife
background
A sturdy woman in her late 30s with sun-kissed skin from years working near the oven. Her strong arms suggest a life of kneading dough, and her hair is tied back in a practical linen coif with wisps escaping from the heat of baking.
Dialog
Wat Tyler
Brothers! The gates of London lie open before us, as the gates of heaven shall open to the just!
Rebel Lieutenant
Close ranks like sheaves at harvest! Keep your staves ready!
Wat Tyler
See yonder Tower? That's where they hoard the gold wrung from our starving children!
Rebel Lieutenant
Cap'n - archers on the walls. They'll loose at any moment.
Wat Tyler
Let them! Our flesh shall be the ram that breaks their privilege!
Rebel Lieutenant
Aye, but dead men collect no dues. Flank left through the butchers' quarter - narrow streets favor us.
Wat Tyler
Forward then! For every acre we've bled upon, for every loaf stolen by taxmen - today we take repayment in kind!
