TNGF
SELECTED
English Ambassador
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 40s with a well-groomed beard streaked with grey, sharp blue eyes that miss nothing, and the bearing of a seasoned courtier. His hands are smooth but strong, accustomed to holding quills and seals rather than swords.
Scottish Ambassador
primary
A stately man in his early fifties, with a robust frame and a carefully groomed auburn beard streaked with silver. His sharp blue eyes betray a keen intellect, constantly assessing the room. His left hand bears the signet ring of James IV of Scotland, marking his diplomatic authority.
Scribe
secondary
A lean man in his late thirties with a sharply angled face, deep-set eyes that rarely lift from his work, and ink-stained fingers from years of meticulous writing. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the clerical fashion, and he wears wire-rimmed spectacles perched low on his nose.
Scottish Aide
secondary
A lean young man in his mid-20s with sharp, angular features and a closely trimmed auburn beard. His pale complexion bears faint freckles across the bridge of his nose, and his keen green eyes dart frequently between his superior and the English delegation.
Guard Captain
background
A sturdy, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, sunken cheeks, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing grey eyes scan the room methodically, and a faded scar runs diagonally across his left eyebrow—likely from a past skirmish. His hands rest on the pommel of his sword, fingers calloused from years of training.

Dialog

English Ambassador Whereas Article the Third doth specify the mutual cessation of hostilities along the Marches, may we here affirm, by your hand, that this comprehendeth all fortified places betwixt Carlisle and Berwick?
Scottish Ambassador It is understood, my lord, provided that no garrisoned fortalices exceeding twenty spears shall be maintained within ten leagues of the border.
Scottish Aide My lord, the phrasing here may yet leave Eskdale vulnerable to interpretation by their surveyors...
English Ambassador Perchance the gentleman would have us enumerate every peel tower and sheepfold? This treaty concerns the peace of kingdoms, not the counting of hearths.
Scottish Ambassador We shall initial the articles as written, Sir, but mark well—the waters of the Tweed remember every broken oath laid upon their banks.
English Ambassador And the Thames keeps tally of every Scottish arrow that has struck her southern shores. Let us rather reckon forward than backward this day.
Scottish Aide Christ and St. Andrew preserve us...
