TNGF

SELECTED

Francesco Sforza

primary

A robust man in his early 50s with a commanding presence, his face weathered from years of military campaigns. He has a strong jawline, deep-set eyes that seem to miss nothing, and a neatly trimmed beard with streaks of grey. His posture exudes authority, and his hands bear the callouses of a lifelong soldier.

Venetian Ambassador

primary

A tall, lean man in his late 50s with sharp, aquiline features and a neatly trimmed salt-and-pepper beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and wariness, with deep-set wrinkles that speak of years spent in diplomatic service. His hands are well-manicured but show signs of age, with prominent veins.

Florentine Diplomat

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and keen eyes that miss nothing. His dark hair is streaked with gray, pulled back neatly, and his beard is trimmed short in the Florentine style. His hands are expressive, often gesturing subtly to emphasize points in conversation.

Scribe

secondary

A middle-aged man with a lean build, slightly hunched from years of bending over parchment. His sharp features are accentuated by a neatly trimmed beard, and his keen eyes are focused intently on his work. His hands, stained with ink, move with practiced precision.

Milanese Noble

background

A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a well-groomed beard and sharp features. His posture is erect, suggesting years of courtly training, and his hands are smooth, unmarked by labor. His dark brown eyes are keenly observant, and his complexion is fair, indicative of a life spent indoors.

Dialog

Francesco Sforza Let this treaty stand as a bulwark against further bloodshed. Milan’s hand is extended—let Venice and Florence grasp it firmly.

Venetian Ambassador Sia ben chiaro—Venice agrees to these terms, yet we shall watch closely lest the scales tip unfairly.

Florentine Diplomat As we say in Florence, a long dispute means both parties are wrong. Let this peace balance our ledgers at last.

Francesco Sforza Then let the ink dry without hesitation. The Lombard plains have bled enough.

Venetian Ambassador Indeed—though Venice remembers the weight of every drop spilled.

Florentine Diplomat Then let the record show this day as one where wisdom prevailed over pride.
