The outer courtyard of the Tower of London, with its imposing stone walls and heavy wooden gates now breached by the rebels. The cobblestone ground is littered with debris, broken weapons, and scattered parchments. The air is thick with smoke from nearby burning buildings.

TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry but strong build, standing taller than most peasants. His face is weathered from years of labor, with deep-set eyes that burn with determination. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past conflicts. His hands are calloused, gripping his weapon with practiced ease.
John Ball
primary
A gaunt, middle-aged man with piercing eyes and a wild, unkempt beard. His face is weathered from years of preaching outdoors, and his frame is lean but wiry, showing the strength of a man accustomed to hardship. His hands are calloused, and his posture is upright, exuding a sense of fervent conviction.
King Richard II
secondary
A slender young man of 14 years with delicate features, fair skin, and shoulder-length golden-brown hair. His pale blue eyes are wide with a mix of fear and regal defiance. His posture is tense, betraying his youth and inexperience in the face of rebellion.
Rebel Guard
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, lean but strong from years of labor, with sun-weathered skin and a scraggly beard. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.
Rebel Peasant
secondary
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. His dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back with a leather thong. A deep scar runs across his left cheekbone, a remnant of past conflicts.
Rebel Child
background
A young boy, approximately 8-10 years old, with a thin and wiry build. His face is smudged with dirt and soot, and his light brown hair is tousled and unkempt. His wide, fearful eyes are a striking shade of hazel, standing out against his grimy face. He has a small scar above his left eyebrow, likely from a previous scrape or fall.

Dialog

Wat Tyler Aye, the Tower falls! Now let's see these bloodsuckers face us like men!
John Ball When Adam delved and Eve span, who then was the gentleman? The time is come to cast off these chains!
Wat Tyler No more taxes to fatten their bellies while our children starve!
John Ball The Lord hears the cry of the poor! Shall we not answer it with righteous fury?
Wat Tyler To Mile End! The boy-king will hear our demands or feel our steel!
John Ball Remember this day, brothers! When the meek inherited England!
