TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry but strong build, his face weathered by years of labor and sun. His dark, shoulder-length hair is tousled, and a short beard frames his jaw. Piercing blue eyes burn with righteous fury beneath heavy brows. A fresh scar crosses his left cheekbone from earlier skirmishes.
Simon Sudbury
primary
A corpulent, elderly man in his late 60s with thinning grey hair and a double chin. His pale complexion is flushed with fear, and his watery blue eyes dart nervously. His once-fine robes are now disheveled from the struggle.
Rebel Lieutenant
secondary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry build, sunburnt face, and a deep scar running from his left temple to jawline - likely from previous conflicts. His calloused hands grip a rusty billhook with practiced ease.
Royal Guard
secondary
A battle-hardened guard in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by a scar across his left cheek. His short, dark hair is slightly disheveled from the skirmish, and his piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with vigilance.
Peasant Rebel
background
A wiry, sunburnt man in his late 30s with a tangled beard and missing front teeth. His hands are calloused from years of fieldwork, and his left earlobe bears an old scar from a lord's punishment. Wild eyes gleam beneath a furrowed brow.
Dialog
Wat Tyler
No more taxes, Sudbury! No more lies from pulpit—we know who bleeds the land dry!
Simon Sudbury
Good captain, I swear by the Virgin—the tax rolls weren't my doing! Deus misereatur!
Rebel Lieutenant
Liar! Your granaries burst while our babes starve!
Wat Tyler
See how they beg when reaping comes? You'll pay in kind for every bushel stolen.
Simon Sudbury
M-mercy! The King will hear of this—you'll all hang!
Rebel Lieutenant
Thresh out his neck like rotten wheat!
Wat Tyler
London sees true justice today. Lay his head before the White Tower!
