TNGF
SELECTED
Jan Želivský
primary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt, intense face, deep-set eyes burning with fervor, and a wiry frame that belies his powerful presence. His dark hair is streaked with gray, cropped short in the clerical style, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His hands are raised in exhortation, veins standing out with passion.
Hussite Rebel Leader
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a muscular build, weathered skin from years of labor, and a thick, unkempt beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes burn with righteous fury, and a deep scar runs across his left cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.
Catholic Councilor
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, thinning gray hair, and a prominent nose. His posture is rigid with authority, but his hands tremble slightly from fear. His eyes are wide with shock and his lips are pressed thin in defiance.
Rebel Zealot
secondary
A burly, middle-aged man with a wild, unkempt beard and sunken, fervent eyes. His face is weathered from years of hardship, and his muscular arms bear the scars of previous conflicts. His hands are calloused and strong, gripping the councilor with unyielding force.
Town Guard
background
A burly, middle-aged man with a weathered face and a thick, unkempt beard. His muscular build suggests years of physical labor and combat training. His nose appears slightly crooked from past brawls, and his hands are calloused from gripping weapons.
Dialog
Jan Želivský
Behold the wolves in sheep's clothing! These men gorge on gold while your children starve! Shall we suffer their tyranny any longer?
Hussite Rebel Leader
By Jan Hus's holy blood - throw them from the windows as they've thrown God's truth from their hearts!
Catholic Councilor
You violate sacred law! The Holy Father will rain fire upon this city for this sacrilege!
Jan Želivský
Let their bodies break upon the stones as their lies have broken upon the truth of the chalice!
Hussite Rebel Leader
To the window! Let Prague see how God's justice falls!
