TNGF
SELECTED
Jan Žižka
primary
A grizzled, middle-aged man with a muscular build, his face weathered from years of battle. His most striking feature is the missing left eye, covered by a simple leather patch. His remaining eye is sharp and piercing, constantly scanning the battlefield. His short, dark hair is streaked with grey, and his beard is neatly trimmed but shows signs of neglect under siege conditions.
Hussite Priest
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt yet fervent countenance, his sunken eyes burning with religious zeal. His graying beard is unkempt, and his hands bear callouses from gripping the chalice during mass. A deep scar runs across his forehead, a relic from earlier clashes, partially hidden by his disheveled hair.
Blacksmith
secondary
A burly, middle-aged man with muscular arms honed by years of hammering metal. His face is smudged with soot, and his hands bear the scars of his trade. His thick, dark beard is streaked with gray, and his forehead is furrowed with concentration.
Militia Woman
secondary
A sturdy peasant woman in her late 30s with weathered skin and strong, calloused hands. Her dark brown hair is tied back under a simple linen coif, with strands escaping from the day's labor. She has a determined set to her jaw and keen eyes that miss little.
Scout
background
A wiry young man in his early twenties, with sunken cheeks and a gaunt frame from days of hard travel. His face is streaked with mud and sweat, his short brown hair matted from rain and exertion. His eyes are wide with urgency, darting between the castle defenses and the approaching commander.
Dialog
Jan Žižka
Move those wagons to the eastern wall before the Pope's dogs loose their arrows! We need that houfnice loaded and ready!
Hussite Priest
The Lord... is your... SHIELD! Let your hands be swift as the scythe at harvest!
Militia Woman
Good stone, this one. Fits well in the sling.
Jan Žižka
Priest! The men need your words more than the stones need blessing. Tell them God favors those who arm quickly!
Hussite Priest
They come not just against Prague—they come against the very chalice of salvation! Today we thresh the wheat from the chaff!
