Henry V of England
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 30s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the faint scars of battle, and his short, dark brown hair is neatly trimmed. His posture exudes confidence and authority.
Charles VI of France
primary
A man in his early 50s, with a gaunt and weary appearance, his once-regal bearing now slightly stooped. His face is lined with the marks of both illness and the burdens of kingship, with deep-set eyes that still retain a flicker of intelligence and authority. His hair, once dark, is now streaked with grey and thinning, and his hands occasionally tremble.
Philip the Good of Burgundy
secondary
A tall, well-built man in his mid-twenties with sharp, intelligent features, a neatly trimmed beard, and piercing blue eyes that convey both charm and calculation. His posture exudes confidence and aristocratic grace.
Royal Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, his sharp features accentuated by the flickering candlelight. His hands are stained with ink, and his fingers are slightly calloused from years of meticulous writing. His dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back neatly, and his eyes are focused intently on his work.
English Noble

French Noble
background
A middle-aged French aristocrat with a slender yet dignified build, his sharp features marked by a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes that betray his unease. His posture is upright, though his hands occasionally twitch with nervous energy.
Dialog
Henry V of England
By the grace of God and the terms herein, the crowns of England and France shall be united under one sovereign, ensuring peace for our peoples at last.
Charles VI of France
Peace... yes. Though it comes at a price heavier than gold, n'est-ce pas?
Philip the Good of Burgundy
A price paid now spares greater losses hereafter, Your Majesty. The blood of our lands has watered the fields long enough.
Henry V of England
Let history record this day not as an end, but as the dawn of a united realm, where English and French alike prosper under just rule.
Charles VI of France
History will record what it will... though I wonder what the chronicles of Paris shall say of this hour.
Philip the Good of Burgundy
The chronicles, like the rivers of Burgundy, will flow where the land directs them. Today, we direct the land, n'est-ce pas?
Henry V of England
Then let us sign, and may God judge the righteousness of our deeds.
