TNGF
SELECTED
Bishop Delegate
primary
A middle-aged man of imposing stature, with sharp, hawk-like features and a neatly trimmed gray beard. His piercing blue eyes betray a keen intellect and a hint of weariness from the lengthy proceedings.
Cardinal Legate
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a gaunt face and piercing gray eyes that seem to miss nothing. His aquiline nose and high cheekbones give him a regal bearing. Thin lips are pressed tightly together, and his pale complexion suggests many hours spent indoors in study and prayer. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, yet strong-looking.
Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged monk with a lean, slightly hunched frame from years spent bent over manuscripts. His face is clean-shaven with deep-set eyes that squint slightly from prolonged focus on fine script. His hands are ink-stained, with long fingers accustomed to delicate quillwork.
Noble Observer
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with a well-groomed beard, sharp features, and a dignified bearing. His skin is lightly tanned from frequent travel, and his dark brown eyes are keen with intelligence. He carries himself with the quiet confidence of someone accustomed to both courtly and military life, though his posture is slightly relaxed in this moment of solemn observation.
Altar Server
background
A slender boy of about 12 years, with a pale complexion and short, neatly trimmed brown hair. His hands are slightly trembling as he works, and his downturned eyes avoid direct contact with the clergy. He moves with the careful precision of someone trying not to draw attention to himself.
Dialog
Bishop Delegate
Thus concludes this holy council, in the name of our Lord and the unity of Christendom. Hæc est finis schismatis, by the grace of God.
Cardinal Legate
Indeed, and let it be known that the Holy Father's authority is now firmly established – as the vine to the branch, so must all Christendom be united.
Noble Observer
Your Eminence speaks wisely. Yet I wonder... shall this vineyard bear fruit equally in Bohemia as in Rome?
Bishop Delegate
The Hussites must repent or face the consequences, as Master Hus learned. Unity comes at God's price, not man's.
Cardinal Legate
Let us not dwell on... unpleasantries. The papal bull declares forty days' indulgence for all who celebrated this reconciliation.
