Battle of Vitkov Hill
Jan Žižka leads Hussite peasant rebels in a desperate defense of Vitkov Hill against the numerically superior Holy Roman Empire crusaders, using innovative wagon fort tactics to hold their ground.
Setting
Vitkov Hill, Prague, Czech Republic. A strategic hilltop with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. The terrain is rugged, with patches of dense woodland and open fields. The Hussite rebels have constructed a wagon fort at the summit, using their innovative tactics to create a defensive perimeter.

TNGF
SELECTED
Jan Žižka
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a muscular build, his face weathered by 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 hair is short and unkempt, streaked with grey, and his beard is thick and untrimmed.
Hussite Captain
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His left ear bears a noticeable notch from a past battle, and his hands are calloused from both swordplay and wagon repairs. His remaining hair is cropped short in practical military fashion.
Peasant Rebel
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, wiry and sunburnt from years of farm labor, with calloused hands and a lean but strong build. His face is marked by a mixture of fear and determination, his eyes darting between the approaching enemy and his comrades. His hair is unkempt, tied back with a simple cloth band.
Priest
background
A middle-aged Hussite cleric with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes, his thinning brown hair partially covered by a simple cloth cap. His hands are calloused from years of manual labor and prayer, and his posture is slightly stooped from hours spent in devotion.
Dialog
Jan Žižka
Hold the wagons tight, brothers! Let not a single crusader breach our walls!
Hussite Captain
The eastern flank is weak as a cracked axle! Move those wagons now!
Priest
Brothers in Christ, the Lord sees your courage this day! By His blood, we shall stand firm!
Jan Žižka
Captain, reinforce the weak point with pikemen. Let them break upon our steel like waves upon rocks.
Hussite Captain
Aye, Lord Žižka. They'll find our welcome colder than a Prague winter!
Priest
Remember Hus' sacrifice! Today we write our names in the book of martyrs!
Jan Žižka
Now stand, men of God! For Bohemia and the Chalice!
