TNGF
SELECTED
Knight Captain
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by a prominent scar across his left cheek from past battles. His piercing blue eyes carry the weight of command, and his thick, graying beard is neatly trimmed. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword.
Squire
secondary
A young nobleman of approximately 18 years, with a lean yet sturdy build from years of training. His face is clean-shaven, showing youthful determination, and his short brown hair is neatly trimmed. His hands bear faint callouses from handling weapons and armor.
Bishop
secondary
A middle-aged man with a stout build, his face marked by deep lines of wisdom and piety. His piercing blue eyes exude both warmth and authority. He has a neatly trimmed white beard and a balding head, save for a ring of white hair.
Armorer
secondary
A burly man in his late 40s, with a broad chest and arms thick from years of hammering metal. His face is weathered, with deep lines around his eyes from squinting at his work. His hands are large and calloused, with singe marks from the forge.
Weeping Woman
background
A middle-aged woman with a thin, worn face and reddened eyes from crying. Her hair is hidden under a simple linen wimple, with a few strands of graying brown hair escaping. Her hands are rough from years of labor.
Dialog
Bishop
May the Lord of Hosts guide your swords and shield your souls from the heathen's arrows. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Knight Captain
By the grace of Christ, we shall not falter. Squire, ensure the men are in formation before we march.
Squire
Aye, Captain! The lances are sharpened, and the horses are ready—though the farrier says the bay gelding may need new shoes by Sofia.
Knight Captain
Then we shall have them shod there. The Turk will not wait for our convenience.
Bishop
Remember, my sons—this is God's war. Let not earthly fears cloud your purpose.
Knight Captain
We ride with faith, Your Grace. But steel and discipline will see us through.
Squire
The men are formed, Captain! The banners of Hungary and the Cross await your command.
