TNGF
SELECTED
King Wenceslaus IV
primary
A middle-aged man of regal bearing, now pale and sweating profusely, with a greying beard and deep-set eyes that reflect both pain and fading authority. His once-strong frame is now weakened by illness and the sudden cardiac distress.
Court Physician
primary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a gaunt face marked by deep lines of worry and fatigue. His dark eyes are sharp and observant, framed by thin eyebrows that often furrow in concentration. His hands are slender and nimble, accustomed to the delicate work of healing.
Queen Sophia
secondary
A woman in her late 30s with a slender yet regal build, her fair complexion now pale with distress. Her high cheekbones and delicate features are framed by wavy auburn hair, partially covered by a veil. Her blue eyes, usually calm and composed, are wide with shock and brimming with tears.
Guard Captain
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a thick brown beard streaked with gray, and piercing blue eyes that have seen many battles. His nose is slightly crooked from a past fight, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword.
Servant Boy
background
A thin, wiry boy of about 12 years with sunken cheeks and a mop of unkempt brown hair. His hands are rough from labor, and his face bears the marks of a life spent in service. His eyes are wide with fear and urgency.
