TNGF
SELECTED
Edward IV
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early twenties with a commanding presence. He has a fair complexion, light brown hair worn shoulder-length, and piercing blue eyes that convey both intelligence and determination. His strong jawline and upright posture exude regal authority.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, ascetic face, deep-set eyes, and thin lips. His white hair is neatly tonsured, and his hands are slightly gnarled with age but steady. He carries himself with the quiet authority of a man long accustomed to spiritual leadership.
Yorkist Noble
secondary
A tall, well-built man in his early forties with a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the marks of a seasoned warrior, with a faint scar running along his left cheekbone. His posture exudes confidence and pride, befitting his high status.
Lancastrian Noble
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with a lean, aristocratic build, sharp features, and piercing dark eyes that betray his concealed resentment. His neatly trimmed beard and short, well-kept hair are signs of his noble status, though his expression is guarded.
Abbey Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a thick beard, and piercing blue eyes. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his stance is firm and disciplined.

Dialog

Archbishop of Canterbury By the grace of God and the will of the people, we anoint thee, Edward, as rightful King of England. May the Lord grant thee wisdom and strength to rule justly.
Edward IV We accept this sacred charge with humility before God and resolve before men. The crown comes not lightly, but through the blood and loyalty of true Englishmen.
Yorkist Noble By Christ's mercy, we see the rightful line restored this day! No more shall the realm suffer under Lancastrian misrule.
Edward IV Let all men know - we shall be king to all our subjects, be they of rose red or white. The wars end here, at this altar.
Archbishop of Canterbury Deo volente, may this coronation mark the beginning of peace in our troubled land. Receive now, sire, the orb and scepter of your office.
Yorkist Noble Mark how he bears the crown - as naturally as he wore his helm at Towton! The very stones of this abbey seem to rejoice.
Edward IV The crown sits heavy, my lord archbishop, but not half so heavy as the hearts of Englishmen these past years. That weight we shall lift together.
