Setting

Prague Castle, overlooking the city, with Vítkov Hill visible in the distance. The castle walls are manned by Hussite defenders, and the courtyard is bustling with activity as preparations for the siege intensify. The cobblestone paths and stone buildings are weathered but sturdy, with makeshift barricades erected at key points.

TNGF
SELECTED
Jan Žižka
primary
A formidable Hussite military leader in his late 50s, with a muscular build honed by years of warfare. His face is weathered and scarred, with a prominent battle wound over his left eye that has left him blind on that side. His remaining eye is sharp and piercing, scanning the horizon with military precision. His gray-streaked beard is neatly trimmed, and his posture exudes authority.
Hussite Captain
secondary
A grizzled warrior in his late 40s, with a broad chest and muscular arms honed by years of battle. His face is weathered, with deep-set eyes that have seen countless conflicts, and a thick, graying beard. A long scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past skirmishes.
Blacksmith
secondary
A burly man in his late 40s with soot-streaked skin and forearms corded with muscle from years at the forge. His broad shoulders and calloused hands speak of a lifetime of labor, while his salt-and-pepper beard is tied with a leather strap to keep it from catching fire. His nose is slightly crooked from an old break, and his eyes are squinted from constant exposure to heat and smoke.
Young Soldier
background
A lean youth of about 18 years, with sunken cheeks and wide, darting eyes. His fair hair is cropped short beneath a padded coif, and his hands tremble slightly around his weapon. The beginnings of a beard shadow his jawline.

Dialog

Jan Žižka Captain! The wagons must form like a boar's tusks on Vítkov Hill—let them break upon our iron jaws!
Hussite Captain Aye, General. The eastern slope is reinforced—no imperial dog will slip past. The blacksmith’s hooks are sharpened and ready.
Blacksmith This flail bites deeper now—strike true, or it’ll be your bones in the forge next!
Jan Žižka Pray with your hammers if you must, but fight with the wrath of God’s own thunder. Today, Prague stands!
