Burning of the Savoy Palace

A furious mob of peasants, led by Wat Tyler, storms the opulent Savoy Palace of John of Gaunt, setting it ablaze as a symbol of their revolt against oppressive taxes and feudal abuses.

Setting

The grand courtyard and entrance of the Savoy Palace, a symbol of wealth and power, now under siege by an angry mob. The palace, situated along the Thames, is surrounded by muddy streets and scattered debris from the chaos.

TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged man of about 40, with sun-weathered skin and a wiry build. His dark hair is matted with sweat, and his piercing blue eyes burn with fervor. Scars from past battles mark his forearms, and his hands are calloused from years of labor.
Rebel Blacksmith
secondary
A burly man in his late 30s with arms thick from years at the forge. His face is smeared with soot and sweat, and his muscular frame shows the toll of hard labor. A jagged scar runs down his left forearm, likely from an old forging accident.
Terrified Servant
secondary
A middle-aged palace servant with a wiry build, sunken cheeks, and calloused hands from years of labor. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his face is marked with soot and sweat from the chaos around him.
Angry Weaver
background
A gaunt woman in her mid-30s with sunken cheeks and calloused hands from years at the loom. Her straw-colored hair is escaping a frayed linen coif, and her blue eyes burn with righteous fury.
