TNGF
SELECTED
Muhammad XII (Boabdil)
primary
A man in his late 30s with a slender yet regal bearing, his olive skin and dark brown eyes reflecting his Nasrid heritage. His neatly trimmed beard shows streaks of premature gray from the stresses of rulership, and his hands bear the callouses of a warrior despite his royal status.
Ferdinand II
primary
A middle-aged man of medium height with a sturdy build, his face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, combed back neatly, and his piercing hazel eyes survey the scene with calculated precision. A neatly trimmed beard frames his jaw, giving him a regal yet martial appearance.
Isabella I
primary
A woman in her early 40s with a slender yet commanding presence, fair complexion, and piercing blue eyes that convey both piety and determination. Her auburn hair is neatly covered by a modest headdress, and her posture exudes regal authority.
Granadan Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man with a dignified bearing, his olive skin and dark, expressive eyes reflecting his Andalusian heritage. His neatly trimmed beard shows traces of gray, and his tall, lean frame carries the subtle tension of a warrior unused to defeat.
Spanish Captain
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a sun-weathered face, short-cropped dark brown hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the courtyard with military precision. A faded scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to years of campaigning.
Granadan Servant
background
A middle-aged Muslim man of slight build, with sun-weathered skin and deep-set brown eyes that reflect years of service. His hands are calloused from labor, and his posture carries the weight of the moment.
Dialog
Muhammad XII
These keys, which once opened the gates of paradise for our people, I now place in your hands, knowing Allah's will is inexorable.
Ferdinand II
We receive them as custodians of divine providence, with the solemn duty to govern all peoples under Christ's merciful law.
Isabella I
Let this surrender be recorded not as conquest, but as the return of lost children to Holy Mother Church's embrace.
Spanish Captain
Your Majesties, the city gates stand secured. Our banners fly where the crescent once ruled.
Muhammad XII
As the poet said: 'The gardens weep when kings depart, but the fountains still remember their songs.'
Ferdinand II
Words will be carved in marble to mark this day's significance - when all Iberia became one under the Cross.
Isabella I
In nomine Patris et Filii... Let us proceed to the chapel for Te Deum. Even victories require absolution.
