TNGF
SELECTED
Charles de Bourbon
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered French nobleman in his late 30s with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. His dark brown hair is shoulder-length, slightly tousled from wearing his helmet.
Thomas Kyriell
primary
A middle-aged English commander with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a strong jawline. His short, dark hair is streaked with grey, and his muscular build shows the strain of years of warfare. A fresh cut on his cheek bleeds slightly, mixing with sweat and dirt.
French Knight
secondary
A heavily armored knight in his late 20s to early 30s, with a muscular build from years of training and combat. His face is partially obscured by his raised visor, revealing a strong jawline and a short, dark beard. His eyes are intense and focused, with a few scars visible on his cheeks from previous battles.
English Longbowman
secondary
A wiry man in his late 20s with sunken cheeks and a gaunt frame from prolonged campaigning. His face is streaked with mud and blood, with a deep gash across his forehead. His hands are calloused from years of drawing the longbow, and his left arm bears a makeshift bandage soaked through with blood.
Village Priest
background
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes shadowed by exhaustion, and a short, unkempt beard. His hands are rough from manual labor, and his posture is slightly stooped from years of bending over the sick and wounded.
Dialog
Charles de Bourbon
By Saint Denis, they falter! Knights of France, press the charge and let not a single English bowman escape this field!
Thomas Kyriell
Hold, damn you! Form ranks or we are lost! Archers to the rear—cover our retreat!
Charles de Bourbon
Kyriell! Yield now, and your men shall be spared. There is no dishonor in surrender when the day is lost.
Thomas Kyriell
Spare them? Aye, perhaps—but I’ll not grovel while my men still draw breath. One last push, lads! For England!
Charles de Bourbon
Then let God judge your valor, Kyriell. But the field is ours—en avant!
