TNGF
SELECTED
Edward IV
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered young man of 19 years with striking golden hair that falls to his shoulders, his face flushed from exertion and the cold. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with a mix of determination and strategic calculation. Despite his youth, his posture exudes regal authority.
Yorkist Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark hair is cropped short beneath his sallet helm, and a thick beard partially obscures a jagged scar running from his left cheekbone to his jawline. His piercing blue eyes are alert and commanding.
Lancastrian Archer
secondary
A gaunt, weather-beaten man in his late 30s with a wiry frame and sunken cheeks. His hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings, and his left eye squints slightly from habitual aiming. His hair is matted with sweat and snow beneath a simple leather cap.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Yorkist infantryman, barely in his twenties, with a gaunt face streaked with mud and blood. His fair hair is matted with sweat and snow, and his blue eyes are clouded with pain. His chainmail is torn at the shoulder where a Lancastrian arrow has found its mark, and his tabard is stained crimson.

By Saint George, hold the line! Their center weakens - one more push and this day is ours!

My liege, their archers still rain death upon our left! Shall I order the billmen forward?
Lancastrian Archer
Bloody hell! Nowt but three shafts left and that bastard's still standing!
Edward IV
Allez, mes braves! The snow blinds them as much as us - press the advantage!
Yorkist Knight
God's blood! Their northerners fight like cornered wolves!
Lancastrian Archer
Christ's nails, where's our horse? Left us poor footsloggers to die in this cursed snow!
Edward IV
See how their banner falters! Now is our hour - forward all, for England and York!
