Burning of the Savoy Palace

Rebel peasants, led by Wat Tyler, storm and set fire to the Savoy Palace, the luxurious residence of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, in a violent act of defiance against the nobility.

Setting

The grand courtyard of Savoy Palace, surrounded by towering stone walls and ornate Gothic architecture. The once-pristine gardens are trampled underfoot, and the air is thick with smoke from the burning palace.

TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A middle-aged man of wiry build, standing tall with an air of natural authority. His sun-weathered face is framed by a rough beard streaked with gray, and his piercing eyes glow with fervor. He bears the calloused hands of a laborer but holds himself with the bearing of a leader.
Peasant Leader
secondary
A burly man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of labor. His dark hair is cropped short, and a thick beard frames his jaw. His hands are calloused, and his muscular build suggests a life of physical toil. A fresh scar runs across his left cheekbone, likely from recent skirmishes.
Rebel Peasants
background
A diverse group of peasants ranging from young men to middle-aged women, their faces weathered by years of labor. Their builds vary from wiry to muscular, with calloused hands and sun-browned skin. Many bear scars from their harsh lives under feudal rule.
Palace Guard
secondary
A battle-worn soldier in his late 30s, with a stocky build and a grizzled beard. His face bears several scars from previous skirmishes, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons. His chainmail is partially torn, and his gambeson is singed from the fires around him.
