TNGF
SELECTED
Duke Ulrich of Württemberg
primary
A robust man in his mid-thirties with a square jaw and piercing blue eyes that betray both intelligence and simmering anger. His auburn hair is cropped short in the fashion of German nobility, and a neatly trimmed beard frames his face. His hands, resting on the table, are strong but bear the marks of a ruler more accustomed to holding a sword than a quill.
Swabian League Representative
primary
A middle-aged man of imposing stature, with a sharp, angular face framed by a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and a steely resolve. His posture is upright, exuding authority and confidence.
Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, slightly hunched from years of bending over documents. His sharp, observant eyes are framed by wire-rimmed spectacles, and his thin lips are often pressed together in concentration. His hands are stained with ink, and his fingers are nimble from years of writing.
Guard Captain
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with military precision. A scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Servant
background
A young man in his early twenties, slender and slightly hunched from years of servitude. His hands are calloused from labor, and his dark hair is kept short and unkempt. His eyes dart nervously between the Duke and the Swabian League Representative, reflecting his unease.
Dialog
Swabian League Representative
Your Grace, the terms are clear: the League demands the immediate cessation of all taxes levied without consent of the estates, as stipulated in Article Three.
Duke Ulrich of Württemberg
The Duke does not bargain with rebels, nor does he suffer demands from those who forget their place. This is Württemberg, not the League's counting house.
Swabian League Representative
With all due respect, Your Grace, the League's terms are not negotiable. The alternative is... less agreeable.
Scribe
If it pleases Your Grace, the wording here—'without consent of the estates'—might be amended to 'without due consultation,' should that better reflect the agreement.
Duke Ulrich of Württemberg
Enough! The Duke will not be schooled in his own hall. Let the scribe record it as written—but mark this well, the League's victory is temporary.
Swabian League Representative
Then we are agreed. The treaty stands as written, and the League's peace is restored—for now.
Duke Ulrich of Württemberg
Let it be done. But remember, Representative—fortuna volubilis est.
