TNGF
SELECTED
King James IV
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 40s with auburn hair and a well-groomed beard. His piercing blue eyes show both determination and weariness. His face bears the marks of a seasoned warrior, with a scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone.
Earl of Surrey
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 40s with a weathered face, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His muscular build suggests years of military training, and his posture exudes authority. He wears a polished steel cuirass over a padded gambeson, with a red surcoat bearing the arms of the Howard family. His helmet is tucked under one arm, revealing short, graying brown hair.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous conflicts. His dark hair is matted with sweat and mud, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and exhaustion. His beard is short and unkempt, streaked with dirt from the battlefield.
English Archer
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and sharp, focused eyes. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing longbows, and his stance is steady despite the muddy terrain. A faint scar runs across his left cheekbone, a remnant of past battles.
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 brown beard is matted with mud and sweat, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and exhaustion. His muscular arms strain to keep the heavy banner upright despite the fatigue setting in.

Earl of Surrey Their king shows boldness, but boldness without wisdom is but folly. Archers, loose upon their center!
King James IV By Saint Andrew’s bones, they press us hard! Where are my pike formations? Close ranks!
Earl of Surrey Now, my lord, we shall see if your valor matches your pride. Cavalry, take their flank!
King James IV Surrey! Face me yourself, if you dare! Or do you hide behind your arrows like a coward?
Earl of Surrey A king should know when to fight and when to yield. Today, you shall learn the difference.
