Characters

Hussite Captain
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His muscular frame bears the weight of years of warfare, with broad shoulders and calloused hands that grip his poleaxe with practiced ease. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath a padded coif, and his piercing blue eyes scan the horizon with military precision.
Hussite Priest
primary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt, ascetic face framed by a short, untrimmed beard. His deep-set eyes burn with fervor beneath thick brows, and his sunken cheeks speak of frequent fasting. His hands are raised in exhortation, fingers bony but strong.
Young Defender
secondary
A teenage boy of about 16 years, slender but wiry from hard labor. His face is smooth with the first hints of stubble, and his wide eyes betray his youth despite his determined set jaw. His hands grip his weapon tightly, knuckles whitening with tension.
Blacksmith
secondary
A burly man in his late 40s with a muscular build, broad shoulders, and thick forearms covered in old burn scars. His face is weathered, with deep-set eyes and a thick, singed beard. His hands are rough and calloused from years of hammering metal.
Scout
background
A wiry, sinewy man in his late 30s with deep-set, watchful eyes and a face weathered by years of outdoor reconnaissance. His dark beard is trimmed short, and his hands are calloused from gripping reins and weapons. His lean frame suggests endurance rather than brute strength.

Dialog

Hussite Captain Priest! Keep your flock sharp—those imperial dogs will taste our steel before they breach these walls!
Hussite Priest Pán Bůh s námi! The Lord is with us, brothers! Remember Jan Hus—his fire burns in our hearts today!
Blacksmith More coal, now! This blade won’t straighten itself—unless you want to fight with prayers alone!
Hussite Captain Blacksmith, make it quick—those bastards won’t wait for your forge to cool.
Hussite Priest Fear not the sword, but the sin of doubt! Today, we stand as God’s own harvesters!
Blacksmith There—take it! And may it bite deeper than their lies!
Hussite Captain Steady now! Let them come—we’ll teach them how Bohemia answers tyrants.
