Rebel peasants, led by Wat Tyler, storm the Tower of London, breaching its defenses and confronting the young King Richard II in a moment of raw, revolutionary fervor. The Tower, a symbol of royal aut

Setting

The inner courtyard of the Tower of London, surrounded by high stone walls with narrow windows. The cobblestone ground is uneven and stained with the marks of struggle. The gate is breached, and the air is thick with chaos.

TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged and determined man in his thirties, with a wiry frame honed by hard labor. His sun-weathered face is framed by a wild beard and unkempt hair, his piercing eyes burning with fervor. A jagged scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to past struggles.
Rebel Peasant
secondary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry build, sunburnt skin, and calloused hands. His face is marked by deep lines of hardship, and his dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back roughly. His eyes burn with fervor, and he wields a makeshift weapon—a scythe blade lashed to a wooden pole.
Tower Guard
secondary
A burly man in his late thirties, with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick beard. His muscular build suggests years of rigorous training. His arms bear scars from previous battles, and his stance is that of a seasoned warrior.
Richard II
background
A slender youth of 14 years with a pale, almost delicate complexion. His fine-boned features are framed by shoulder-length golden-brown hair, and his large blue eyes betray a mix of fear and fascination. Despite his royal bearing, there is an undeniable fragility to his presence.
