Setting

A muddy, rain-soaked battlefield near Branxton Hill in Northumberland, England. The terrain is uneven, with patches of tall grass and thick mud churned by the movement of thousands of soldiers. The hill slopes gently, providing a slight vantage point, but the ground is treacherous underfoot. The battlefield is strewn with the bodies of fallen soldiers, discarded weapons, and broken banners.

TNGF
SELECTED
King James IV of Scotland
primary
A tall, robust man in his early 40s with a strong, regal bearing. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a well-groomed beard and piercing blue eyes that convey both intelligence and determination. His hair is dark brown, streaked with grey, and worn shoulder-length.
Earl of Surrey (Thomas Howard)
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 50s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His graying hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His posture exudes authority, and his piercing gaze reflects years of military experience.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat training. His face is weathered, with a thick beard and piercing blue eyes that reflect both determination and weariness. A deep scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to previous battles fought in service to his king.
English Archer
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from years of drawing the longbow. His brown hair is cropped short under a padded coif, and his sharp eyes scan the battlefield with practiced vigilance. A thin scar runs across his left cheekbone, a souvenir from past conflicts.
Scottish Standard Bearer
background
A rugged, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by scars from previous battles. His thick, dark beard is matted with rain and mud, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and exhaustion. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his stance is steady despite the treacherous ground.
