TNGF
SELECTED
Muhammad XII (Boabdil)
primary
A man in his late 30s with a slender yet dignified build, dark almond-shaped eyes that reflect deep sorrow, and a neatly trimmed beard. His olive skin is weathered from years of rule and conflict, and his posture carries the weight of defeat.
Ferdinand II of Aragon
primary
A middle-aged man of medium height with a sturdy build, his face weathered from years of campaigning. He has a strong jawline, piercing dark eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His posture exudes authority and confidence.
Isabella I of Castile
secondary
A woman in her early 40s with a regal bearing, fair complexion, and piercing blue eyes. Her auburn hair is partially covered by a headdress, with a few strands visible. She has a strong jawline and a composed demeanor that exudes authority.
Nasrid Guard
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with weathered olive skin and a thick black beard streaked with gray. His dark brown eyes are sunken from exhaustion, and a jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline—a battle wound from defending Granada. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.
Spanish Captain
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set brown eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is rigid with military discipline, and his hands bear the calluses of a seasoned soldier.
Dialog
Muhammad XII (Boabdil)
Take these keys, Ferdinand of Aragon... for Allah has willed it so. May you rule with more mercy than fate has shown my people.
Ferdinand II of Aragon
Your surrender is accepted, Boabdil. The terms shall be honored—your people may keep their faith and laws under our sovereignty.
Spanish Captain
Your Majesties, the eastern gate is secured. The Alhambra is yours.
Muhammad XII (Boabdil)
Eight centuries... gone like sand through an hourglass. What will history say of me?
Ferdinand II of Aragon
History will remember this day as God's will fulfilled. Spain is whole at last.
Spanish Captain
Shall I order the banners raised over the towers, Your Majesty?
Ferdinand II of Aragon
Yes. Let the cross of Christ be seen from every minaret in Granada.
