Setting
The council chambers of Memmingen, a grand hall with high ceilings and wooden paneling, filled with representatives from both the peasantry and the city council. The room is spacious but feels crowded due to the heated debate taking place.

TNGF
SELECTED
Peasant Leader
primary
A sturdy man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin, a thick brown beard streaked with gray, and calloused hands that speak of years of labor. His deep-set brown eyes burn with conviction, and his posture is upright despite the weight of his people's hopes on his shoulders.
Council Chairman
primary
A middle-aged man with a stern, lined face, graying hair neatly trimmed, and a sharp, hawk-like nose. His posture exudes authority, with broad shoulders and a rigid stance. His piercing blue eyes scrutinize those before him with a mix of suspicion and disdain.
Peasant Scribe
secondary
A thin, wiry man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands that contrast with his surprisingly neat handwriting. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his beard is trimmed close to his face. His eyes are sharp and attentive, frequently darting between the speakers and his parchment.
Council Scribe
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His hands are stained with ink, a testament to his profession. His eyes are keen and observant, constantly darting between the speakers and his parchment.
Peasant Veteran
secondary
A grizzled older man in his late 50s with a wiry but strong build, his face lined with years of hardship. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, and his hands are calloused from years of labor. His sunken eyes burn with quiet intensity.
Dialog
Peasant Leader
By the ancient rights and the Holy Gospel, we demand an end to unjust tithes and the freedom to choose our own pastors—as our Lord Christ taught!
Council Chairman
The council must consider the ramifications of such... unprecedented demands upon the established order and the peace of our city.
Peasant Leader
Unprecedented? Nay, it is justice delayed! Our backs bend under burdens not even the oxen of Pharaoh bore—shall we wait until the harvest rots in the fields?
Council Chairman
Your fervor is noted, but the law is not swayed by metaphor. These articles would unravel the very fabric of our society—have you weighed the chaos that follows?
Peasant Leader
The only chaos we fear is the tyranny of men who barter our souls for silver. We seek not destruction, but the restoration of divine justice!
