TNGF
SELECTED
King Henry V of England
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 30s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes that command attention. His face bears the faint scars of battle, and his short, dark brown hair is neatly trimmed. His posture exudes confidence and authority.
King Charles VI of France
primary
A gaunt man in his early 50s with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, his once-regal bearing now diminished by years of mental instability. His thinning gray hair is unevenly cut, and his hands tremble slightly. Despite his condition, there remains a vestige of royal dignity in his posture.
Philip the Good
secondary
A tall, well-built man in his mid-20s with sharp, aristocratic features, piercing blue eyes, and neatly trimmed dark brown hair. His posture exudes confidence and authority, befitting his ducal status.
French Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man with a sharp, angular face and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes are filled with disdain, and his posture exudes aristocratic pride. He has a lean but strong build, indicative of a life that includes both courtly duties and martial training.
English Scribe
background
A middle-aged man with a lean build, his face marked by the lines of long hours spent in dim candlelight. His hands are stained with ink, and his fingers show the slight tremor of one who has written for many years. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back neatly, and his eyes are sharp, constantly darting between the parchment and the negotiating parties.

Dialog

King Henry V of England By the grace of God and the right of arms, we stand before you not as conquerors, but as heirs to a united realm. Let this treaty bind our houses as vines upon a trellis, that both may flourish.
King Charles VI of France The wolves... no, the terms... We see the terms laid bare before us. Philip? Does our cousin of Burgundy find this... this vine to his liking?
Philip the Good It would seem prudent, dear uncle, to consider how this grafting might preserve the health of the entire garden. The English rose and French lily may yet bloom together.
King Henry V of England The alternative is winter without end - fields lain fallow by continued strife. I would have us reap a harvest of peace.
King Charles VI of France Harvest? Yes... the reapers come at Michaelmas... but the treaty... the treaty must be signed before... before the crows descend.
Philip the Good The hour grows late, and the scribes await. Shall we conclude this matter with the dignity befitting our stations?
