The Venetian forces, led by Bartolomeo d'Alviano, are in full retreat after a disastrous miscommunication with their allies. The French cavalry, sensing victory, relentlessly charges the scattered Ven

Setting

Open fields near the town of Agnadello, with scattered farmsteads and vineyards in the distance. The battlefield is a mix of flat plains and gentle slopes, now trampled by thousands of soldiers. Muddy earth churned by cavalry charges, broken weapons, and abandoned standards litter the ground.

Characters

Bartolomeo d'Alviano
primary
A seasoned Italian condottiero in his late forties, with a muscular build honed by decades of warfare. His face is weathered by campaigns, featuring sharp, hawk-like eyes that miss nothing on the battlefield. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His dark hair, streaked with grey, is cropped short for practicality beneath his helmet.
French Cavalry Officer
primary
A seasoned high-ranking officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of warfare. His face is sun-leathered beneath a neatly trimmed beard, with piercing blue eyes that miss nothing. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to previous battles.
Venetian Standard Bearer
secondary
A muscular man in his late twenties, with a strong jawline and short, dark hair. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his arms are visibly strained from holding the heavy standard. He wears a padded jack beneath a surcoat bearing the Lion of St. Mark, and his legs are protected by simple greaves.
Wounded Venetian Soldier
secondary
A young Venetian soldier in his mid-20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of military training. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his dark hair matted with blood from a head wound. His left leg is badly injured, leaving a trail of blood as he crawls.
French Trumpeter
background
A young man in his early twenties, lithe and wiry from years of military service. His face is flushed with exertion, and his short brown hair is damp with sweat beneath his cap. He wears the livery of the French army, with a distinctive trumpet slung across his back when not in use.
