TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry, muscular build from years of labor. His face is weathered and tanned, with deep-set eyes that burn with intensity. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past conflicts. His dark hair is cropped short and streaked with premature gray, and his hands are calloused and strong.
Archbishop Sudbury
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a gaunt face framed by thinning white hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His pale skin shows the wear of age and stress, with deep-set eyes that convey both intelligence and fear. His posture is slightly stooped, and his hands tremble slightly.
Royal Guard Captain
secondary
A battle-hardened man in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face lined with scars from past conflicts. His steel-gray eyes are sharp and alert, and his short-cropped beard is streaked with silver. His posture exudes authority and military discipline.
Rebel Peasant
secondary
A gaunt, sinewy man in his late twenties with sunken cheeks and wild, unkempt brown hair. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his face bears the marks of hardship and malnutrition. His eyes burn with a mix of fury and desperation.
Tower Servant
background
A young man in his early twenties, slight of build with wiry limbs, his face streaked with dirt and sweat. His dark hair is cropped short in the manner of servants, and his hands bear the calluses of years of labor.
Dialog
Wat Tyler
By Christ's wounds, forward! Break down their gates and drag Sudbury out by his holy robes!
Royal Guard Captain
Shields up! Hold this passage! Let no traitor pass!
Archbishop Sudbury
My sons, I beg you—lay down your arms and repent this sacrilege before God's judgment falls upon you!
Wat Tyler
Repent? Nay, 'tis you who'll repent—repent for starving our children while your coffers overflow!
Royal Guard Captain
Fall back to the inner chamber! Protect His Grace at all costs!
Wat Tyler
They cower like rats! After them—the head that signed our death warrants shall roll this day!
Archbishop Sudbury
O Lord have mercy... In manus tuas, Domine...
