A dimly lit great hall in a medieval castle in Brecon, Wales. The stone walls are adorned with faded tapestries depicting past battles, and a large wooden table dominates the center of the room. The high, vaulted ceiling is supported by thick wooden beams, and a massive hearth crackles with a modest fire, casting flickering shadows.

SELECTED

Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham

primary

A tall, imposing nobleman with sharp features and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is streaked with gray, swept back from a high forehead. He carries himself with the bearing of a man who knows his own power.

Rebel Noble 1

secondary

A Welsh nobleman of middling years, with a weathered face marked by a deep scar running from temple to jawline, a testament to past battles. His dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back in a simple leather thong. His piercing blue eyes burn with quiet determination.

Rebel Noble 2

secondary

A younger nobleman with a lean, almost boyish frame, his face still unlined by the rigors of war. His dark hair is cropped short, and his piercing blue eyes betray a mix of fervor and nervous energy. His hands, though soft from a life of privilege, grip the hilt of his dagger with surprising intensity.

Castle Steward

background

A gaunt man of quiet efficiency, with sharp features and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing eyes miss nothing, and his movements are precise and deliberate.

Dialog

Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham My lords, the time for whispered words is past. The crown sits uneasy on Richard's head, and the realm groans beneath his yoke.

Rebel Noble 1 Aye, my lord. The people murmur against him, yet fear stills their tongues.

Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham Then let us be the voice that stirs them to action. 'Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo.'

Rebel Noble 1 If heaven we cannot move, we shall raise hell. A fitting motto for these dark days.

Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham Then let us not tarry. The hour is ripe, and the crown... is within our grasp.
