Setting

The exterior of Rozafa Castle, perched on a rocky hill overlooking the Bojana River. The castle walls are under siege, with Ottoman forces launching a massive assault. The defenders are positioned along the battlements, with ladders and siege towers pressed against the walls. The ground outside is littered with the debris of previous attacks—broken weapons, discarded shields, and the occasional fallen soldier.

TNGF
SELECTED
Gedik Ahmed Pasha
primary
A formidable Ottoman commander in his late 40s, with a strong, athletic build honed by decades of military campaigns. His weathered face bears a neatly trimmed black beard streaked with gray, and his piercing dark eyes survey the battlefield with calculated precision. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Antonio Loredan
primary
A middle-aged Venetian commander with a lean, battle-hardened build. His face is lined with the stress of prolonged siege, framed by short, greying hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with strategic calculation. A fresh cut on his right cheekbone shows recent combat.
Albanian Defender
secondary
A wiry, sun-weathered man in his late 30s with a grizzled beard and deep-set, piercing eyes. His face is streaked with sweat and blood, and his knuckles are raw from gripping his weapon too tightly. A jagged scar runs down his left cheekbone—a mark from previous battles.
Ottoman Janissary
secondary
A muscular and battle-hardened elite soldier in his late 20s, with a weathered face marked by scars from previous battles. His dark beard is neatly trimmed, and his intense eyes show a mix of determination and battle fury. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his movements are swift and precise, honed by rigorous training.
Venetian Archer
background
A wiry, sunburnt man in his late twenties, with a short beard matted with sweat and dust. His arms show the lean muscle of a practiced archer, and his fingers are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings. His face is streaked with grime, and his eyes are narrowed in focus as he peers over the battlements.
