Storming of the Tower of London

Angry peasant rebels, led by Wat Tyler, storm the Tower of London to confront royal officials and demand reforms. The rebels break through the gates, overwhelming the Tower Guard, and surge into the i

Setting

The Tower of London's inner courtyard and surrounding stone corridors, with the White Tower looming in the background. The cobblestone ground is uneven and worn from centuries of use, and the air is thick with the scent of sweat, smoke, and iron.

TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry but strong build, standing about 5'8" tall. His face is weathered from years of labor, with deep-set brown eyes that burn with determination. His dark hair is streaked with gray and tied back roughly, and his beard is unkempt. A scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.
Rebel Archer
secondary
A wiry, sun-browned man in his late twenties with calloused hands from years of drawing a bow. His face is sharp-featured, with a broken nose that speaks of past brawls, and his dark hair is cropped short under a simple cloth cap. His eyes are keen and alert, scanning for threats.
Royal Treasurer
secondary
A middle-aged man with a portly build, his face lined with stress and fear. His thinning grey hair is slicked back with sweat, and his pale skin contrasts sharply with the dark circles under his eyes. His hands tremble slightly, betraying his nervousness.
Tower Guard
background
A middle-aged man with a stocky build, his face weathered from years of service. His short, dark hair is matted with sweat, and his beard is unkempt. His eyes are wide with fear, and his knuckles are white from gripping his weapon too tightly.
