Election of Pope Martin V

Election of Pope Martin V

The cardinals, gathered in the converted Kaufhaus, are in the final stages of electing a new pope to end the Western Schism. The tension is palpable as factions debate and negotiate, with Oddone Colon

Setting

The interior of the Kaufhaus (Merchant's Hall) in Konstanz, converted into a secure conclave space adjacent to the Cathedral, featuring a vast timber-framed hall divided into small wooden cells for the cardinals.

TNGF
SELECTED
Oddone Colonna
primary
A tall, middle-aged man of noble Roman bearing with sharp aquiline features, slightly graying dark hair cropped in clerical fashion, and a prominent Colonna nose. His hands bear the softness of aristocracy but now tremble with overwhelming emotion.
Cardinal Jean de Brogny
primary
An elderly Savoyard prelate in his late 70s, with a gaunt frame and deeply lined face that speaks of decades spent in ecclesiastical service. His watery blue eyes remain sharp beneath sparse white eyebrows, and his hands—though liver-spotted—are steady when raised in ritual gestures. The distinctive hooked nose of the Brogny lineage anchors a face otherwise softened by age.
Sigismund of Luxembourg
secondary
A tall, imposing man in his late 40s with a well-groomed beard and piercing blue eyes. His broad shoulders and regal bearing mark him as a man of power and authority, though there are faint lines of fatigue around his eyes from the years of political maneuvering.
English Delegate
secondary
A man of sharp, avian features with a receding hairline and a salt-and-pepper beard trimmed close to the jaw. His skin is pale and sallow from weeks of confinement within the conclave, and his eyes are restless, constantly scanning the room for political shifts.
Conclave Guard
background
A robust, weather-beaten watchman of Konstanz with a thick, salt-and-pepper beard and calloused hands. He has a sturdy, square-jawed build typical of a veteran man-at-arms, with a slight squint from years of outdoor duty.

Oddone Colonna Non sum dignus... sed si voluntas Dei est, portabo hoc onus sicut Paulus portavit spinam in carne.
Sigismund of Luxembourg Roma iterum unum caput habet... sed videamus an corpus sequetur.
English Delegate The dye is cast, but mark me – this Roman wolf wears shepherd's wool.
Cardinal Jean de Brogny Per sanctam obedientiam... omnes genua flectant ante Vicarium Christi!
Oddone Colonna Petrus iterum navem regit... sed tempestates non deficiunt.
Sigismund of Luxembourg Let the Roman sheep remember who mended their broken fence.
