Battle of Vítkov Hill
Jan Žižka and a small band of Hussite defenders are making their final stand atop Vítkov Hill against a much larger force of crusaders. The Hussites, outnumbered and outgunned, rely on their makeshift
Setting
Vítkov Hill, a steep and grassy slope on the eastern edge of Prague, with a hastily constructed wooden fortification at its summit. The hill is surrounded by scattered trees and rocky outcrops, providing natural defensive positions. Below, the city of Prague stretches out, its spires and rooftops visible in the distance.
Characters
Jan Žižka
primary
Middle-aged, battle-hardened warrior with a missing left eye covered by a patch. Broad-shouldered and muscular, with scars crisscrossing his face and arms. His remaining eye gleams with fierce determination.
Hussite Priest
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face and intense, piercing eyes, his thinning hair tied back in a simple knot. His frame is lean but wiry, bearing the marks of ascetic living. A prominent scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to past conflicts.
Hussite Archer
secondary
A wiry, middle-aged man with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands, his keen eyes scanning the battlefield below. His short, dark beard is flecked with grey, and his hair is tied back with a simple leather cord.
Crusader Knight
background
A tall, broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s, his face weathered by years of campaigning. His steel armor gleams in the sunlight, adorned with a red cross emblem on his surcoat. His visor is raised, revealing piercing blue eyes and a thick, battle-scarred jawline.
