His dark hair is streaked with grey, cropped short in military fashion, and his beard is neatly trimmed.
Peasant Leader
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry, muscular build from years of farm labor. His face is weathered by sun and hardship, with deep-set brown eyes that burn with conviction. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline - a testament to past conflicts. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath a simple cloth cap, and his beard is thick but unevenly trimmed.
Peasant Soldier
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, wiry and lean from a life of hard labor, with sun-browned skin and calloused hands. His dark hair is shaggy and unkempt, streaked with dust and sweat. His face is marked by the beginnings of a beard, patchy from youth and lack of grooming. His eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination, darting between his leader and the approaching enemy.
Swabian League Knight
secondary
A heavily armored knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of combat training. His face is partially obscured by a sallet helmet with a bevor protecting his chin and neck, revealing only piercing blue eyes and a square jawline marked by old scars. His plate armor is polished to a dull sheen, with the distinctive red and white colors of the Swabian League displayed on his surcoat.
Peasant Archer

A wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from years of farm labor. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his beard is ragged. His keen eyes, squinted from years of sun exposure, track the advancing knights with grim focus.
Dialog
Georg Truchsess von Waldburg
By the Emperor's command, these rabble shall learn the price of defiance. Knights, advance—spare none who bear arms against their rightful lords.
Peasant Leader
Stand firm, brothers! For God’s truth and our freedom, hold this ground! Their lances cannot break men who fight for justice!
Peasant Soldier
Ain’t no stopping them—horses like a storm—what do we do?
Georg Truchsess von Waldburg
See how they falter? Like deer before the hunt. Let this field be their final lesson in obedience.
Peasant Leader
By the blood we’ve shed, we will not yield! If we fall today, let it be a beacon for those who follow!
Peasant Soldier
They’re circling—flanking us—we’re trapped!
Georg Truchsess von Waldburg
Finish them. Let the crows feast on their folly.
