TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Martin V
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly rounded face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His graying hair is neatly trimmed, and he has a short, well-kept beard. His posture exudes authority, yet there is a hint of weariness from the long years of the schism.
Cardinal Orsini
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a sharp, angular face, piercing dark eyes, and a neatly trimmed gray beard. His posture is erect, exuding authority and confidence, with hands that are well-manicured but strong, suggesting both refinement and capability.
Bishop of Konstanz
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly portly build, his clean-shaven face showing the wear of years of ecclesiastical service. His thin lips are pressed together in solemnity, and his deep-set eyes reflect both exhaustion and profound reverence. His hands, clasped in prayer, bear the ink stains of a scholar.
Treasurer
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and a clean-shaven face. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling precious objects rather than manual labor. His eyes are keen, reflecting years of meticulous record-keeping and financial oversight within the Church.
Acolyte
background
A young male attendant, likely in his late teens or early twenties, with a slender build and clean-shaven face. His hands are delicate yet slightly calloused from years of service. His dark hair is neatly trimmed in the tonsure style, marking his clerical status. His pale complexion suggests he spends most of his time indoors, tending to ecclesiastical duties.
Dialog
Pope Martin V
By the grace of Almighty God and the authority of this sacred Council, I accept this heavy burden with humility and resolve.
Cardinal Orsini
In nomine Domini, Holy Father, the Church is once again united under your guidance. May your reign bring peace to Christendom.
Pope Martin V
Let us pray that the wounds of schism may heal, and that the light of unity may shine forth from this holy place.
Cardinal Orsini
The Cardinals stand ready to support you, Your Holiness. The time for discord has passed.
Pope Martin V
Then let us proceed with the Te Deum, that we may give thanks to God for this day of reconciliation.
