TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and piercing dark eyes. His face bears the marks of hard labor and recent battles, with a fresh scar across his left cheek. His hands are calloused and strong, gripping a simple but well-worn sword.
John of Gaunt
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his early 40s with a regal bearing, sharp features, and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, and he sports a neatly trimmed beard. His posture exudes authority, even in the face of chaos.
Rebel Blacksmith
secondary
A burly, muscular man in his late 30s with broad shoulders and calloused hands from years of labor. His face is weathered and tanned from working outdoors, with a thick beard streaked with soot and ash. His nose is slightly crooked from a past break, and his dark eyes burn with righteous fury.
Household Steward
secondary
A gaunt man in his late 40s with sunken cheeks and a perpetually worried expression. His thin frame is slightly stooped from years of bowing to nobility, with nervous hands that flutter like trapped birds.
Peasant Woman
background
A gaunt woman in her late 30s with sunken cheeks and calloused hands, her face lined with years of hardship. Her straw-colored hair is escaping from a frayed linen coif, and her wiry frame shows the effects of malnutrition and hard labor.
Dialog
Wat Tyler
By the blood we've shed, this palace burns tonight! No more chains, no more taxes!
John of Gaunt
Do you not see the folly of this? The King's justice will not be mocked, and your rebellion shall be crushed beneath it.
Household Steward
My lord's property—if it please, spare the tapestries at least!
Wat Tyler
Justice is ours today, Gaunt. Your fine silks won't save you from the people's wrath.
John of Gaunt
You speak of justice, yet you bring only chaos. The law will remember this night.
Household Steward
By your leave, my lord—we must flee! The fire spreads!
Wat Tyler
Let it all burn! The Savoy falls, and with it, the weight of your tyranny!
