Setting

A dimly lit chamber within Znojmo Castle, adorned with heavy tapestries depicting religious and royal scenes. The room is dominated by a large canopied bed where Emperor Sigismund lies, surrounded by court physicians and nobles. The stone walls are cold and damp, with narrow windows covered by thick curtains to keep out the winter chill.

TNGF
SELECTED
Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a gaunt face framed by thinning white hair and a long, unkempt beard. His once-powerful frame is now frail, lying weakly on the canopied bed. His sunken eyes still hold a glimmer of authority, though his pallid skin and labored breathing betray his failing health.
Court Physician
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, accustomed to handling medical instruments. His posture is slightly stooped from years of bending over patients.
Nobleman
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late forties with a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, evidence of years spent in both courtly intrigue and military campaigns. His hands, though well-manicured, bear the callouses of swordplay.
Servant
background
A young man in his early twenties, slight of build with a wiry frame, his face pale from years spent indoors. His hands are rough from labor, and his dark hair is cropped short beneath a simple linen coif. His eyes dart nervously between tasks, avoiding direct eye contact with the nobles.
