The hill is fortified with a series of makeshift wagon forts arranged in a defensive formation, creating a barricade against the approaching crusaders. The ground is uneven, scattered with loose rocks and patches of dry grass.

TNGF

SELECTED

Jan Žižka

primary

A battle-hardened, one-eyed man in his late 50s with a muscular build, his face weathered by years of combat. His remaining eye is sharp and piercing, scanning the battlefield with strategic precision. His long, unkempt hair and beard are streaked with gray, and a prominent scar runs from his forehead to his cheek, covering his missing left eye. His posture is commanding, exuding authority and unyielding resolve.

Hussite Captain

secondary

A rugged, battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s with a muscular build and weather-beaten face. His dark brown hair is tied back, and his thick beard shows streaks of gray. A long scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to years of combat. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons and his posture exudes authority.

Peasant Archer

secondary

A young man in his early 20s, lean and wiry from years of farm labor, with sunburnt skin and calloused hands. His brown hair is matted with sweat, and his eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination. He has a slight stubble and a scar above his left eyebrow from a childhood accident.

Crusader Knight

background

A heavily armored knight of the Holy Roman Empire, approximately in his early 30s, with a sturdy build typical of a trained warrior. His face is obscured by a great bascinet helmet with a visor, but the strain of the climb is evident in his posture. His surcoat bears the faded colors and insignia of his lord, now smeared with dirt and sweat from the arduous ascent.

Dialog

Jan Žižka Hold the wagons tight! Let their knights break on our spears like waves upon rocks!

Hussite Captain Archers—nock and draw! Loose only when their mounts falter in the mud!

Jan Žižka The hill is steep. Their armor will drag them down before our flails ever rise.

Hussite Captain Pikemen to the gaps! If they breach, gut their horses and let the beasts crush them!

Jan Žižka See how they stumble? God fights with those who hold fast!
