Characters
Jan Žižka
primary
A grizzled, one-eyed military leader in his late 50s with a wiry but powerful build. His face bears deep scars from past battles, with a prominent patch covering his left eye socket. His remaining eye burns with fierce intensity. His short-cropped hair and beard are streaked with gray, and his skin is weathered from years of campaigning.
Hussite Archer
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from years of bowmanship. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath a simple padded cap, and his sharp eyes scan the battlefield with practiced precision. A thin scar runs along his right cheekbone.
Crusader Knight
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His piercing blue eyes burn with religious fervor beneath his great helm. His thick beard, streaked with grey, is visible beneath the raised visor. His muscular frame is honed by years of combat training.
Wagon Driver
background
A middle-aged Hussite peasant with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. His face is framed by a short, unkempt beard streaked with gray, and his deep-set eyes squint against the dust kicked up by the wagon wheels.
Dialog
Jan Žižka
Hold the wagons tight, brothers! Let these dogs choke on our spikes like pigs at slaughter!
Crusader Knight
Surrender, heretics! In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, your false doctrines end today!
Hussite Archer
Mark the knight's banner-bearer—loose on my call!
Jan Žižka
Their Latin prayers won't stop Czech steel. Archer, feather that peacock when he stumbles in the mire.
Crusader Knight
Advance, for the Holy Church! These peasant rabble dare defy Christ's anointed?
Hussite Archer
God sees truth—but my arrow finds flesh first!
Jan Žižka
Good shot! Now turn their charge into this marsh—let the water swallow their pride with their greaves.
