TNGF
SELECTED
Rebel Leader
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry but strong build, his face weathered from years of labor. His dark hair is matted with sweat, and his piercing hazel eyes burn with conviction. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past struggles.
Guard Captain
primary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s with a muscular build, a square jaw, and piercing grey eyes. His face bears several old scars, including a prominent one across his left cheek. His short-cropped hair is streaked with grey, and his posture exudes authority.
Peasant Woman
secondary
A middle-aged woman with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands, her frame thin from years of hard labor. Her dark hair is streaked with grey and loosely tied back with a frayed strip of cloth. Deep lines around her mouth and eyes speak of a life of hardship.
Young Guard
secondary
A young soldier in his early twenties, with a lean but wiry build. His fair complexion is flushed with nervous energy, and his short-cropped brown hair is damp with sweat beneath his helmet. His eyes dart frequently between his superiors and the crowd, revealing his inexperience.
Blacksmith
background
A burly man in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of forging iron. His face is smudged with soot, and his thick forearms are corded with veins as he swings the makeshift ram. His dark hair is tied back with a leather strap, and his beard is short and unkempt.

Dialog

Rebel Leader Hear ye! The time for bowin' and scrapin' is done! Today, we stand or we fall together!
Peasant Woman Aye! They’ve taken our grain and our sons, but they’ll not take our pride this day!
Guard Captain Stand down, fools! The King’s justice will not be swayed by pitchforks and angry words!
Rebel Leader Justice? What justice is there in starvin' while the fat lords feast? Nay, we’ll have our due or burn tryin’!
Peasant Woman By the Virgin’s tears, we’ve borne enough! Break down the gates!
Guard Captain One more step, and it’s arrows for the lot of you! Last warning!
Rebel Leader Then let ’em fly! For today, we die free men and women, not beasts of burden!
