TNGF

SELECTED

Edward IV

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late twenties, with striking blond hair and piercing blue eyes. His face is clean-shaven, and his features are strong and regal, exuding confidence and authority. His armor is polished to a shine, reflecting the pale winter light, and his posture is upright and commanding.

Lancastrian Commander

primary

A seasoned nobleman in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of battle. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a thick, graying beard, and his nose bears the crooked mark of a long-healed break.

Yorkist Archer

secondary

A young man in his early twenties, lean and wiry from years of archery practice. His face is weathered by the cold, with a ruddy complexion and chapped lips. His hands, though calloused, tremble slightly as he nocks an arrow. His breath comes in short, visible puffs in the frigid air, and his eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.

Lancastrian Knight

secondary

A heavily armored knight in his late 30s, with a broad-shouldered and muscular build. His face is partially obscured by his raised visor, revealing a thick beard and a scar running from his left cheekbone to his jawline. His gauntlets grip the hilt of his longsword with practiced ease, the steel of his armor bearing the dents and scratches of previous battles.

Yorkist Banner Bearer

background

A young squire, barely more than a boy, with a wiry frame and wind-chapped cheeks. His eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination, reflecting the weight of his duty.

Dialog

Edward IV Men of York! Today, upon this frozen field, we carve the fate of England with steel and valor! Let not the Lancastrian usurpers claim what is rightfully ours by God's will and noble blood!

Lancastrian Commander Hold the line, you dogs! Let the Yorkist curs break upon our spears like the tide upon the cliffs of Dover! For King Henry and the true king's men!

Edward IV See how they quail, my brothers! Their banners tremble as their hearts do! Forward, for the white rose and the crown!

Lancastrian Commander Archers! Loose upon the right flank—let the sky rain death upon these traitorous whoresons!

Edward IV God and Saint George! The day is ours if we but grasp it with these hands! Charge!

Lancastrian Commander Stand fast, you whoreson knaves! The crown is not won by pretty words and golden hair!

Edward IV Then let steel decide, my lord! For York! For England!
