TNGF

SELECTED

Georg Truchsess von Waldburg

primary

A middle-aged man in his late 40s with a stern, weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His piercing blue eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, and his square jaw is covered by a short, well-groomed beard. His muscular build is evident even beneath his armor, and his posture exudes authority.

Peasant Leader

primary

A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry, muscular build from years of labor. His face is weathered, with deep lines around his piercing blue eyes and a square jaw covered in a short, unkempt beard. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and dust, tied back with a strip of cloth. A fresh cut on his forehead drips blood down his temple.

Peasant Fighter

secondary

A rugged peasant in his late 20s, with a wiry but strong build from years of manual labor. His face is weathered by sun and wind, with deep-set eyes that burn with determination. His hands are calloused, gripping the pitchfork with practiced ease. A fresh cut on his cheek shows he's already been in the thick of battle.

Cavalry Officer

secondary

A lean, battle-hardened man in his early 30s with a sharp jawline and piercing blue eyes. His face bears a faded scar across his left cheek, a testament to previous engagements. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and his mustache is neatly trimmed.

Wounded Peasant

background

A middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face streaked with dirt and sweat. His dark hair is matted with blood from a wound on his scalp, and his hands are rough from years of labor. His left leg is badly injured, leaving a trail of blood as he moves.

Dialog

Georg Truchsess von Waldburg Press the advantage—drive them toward the marsh. Let the earth swallow their defiance.

Cavalry Officer At once, Herr Truchsess! Squadron, wheel right—cut off their retreat like rats in a granary!

Peasant Leader Stand fast, brothers! Their horses founder in the muck—strike when they flounder like fattened hogs!

Georg Truchsess von Waldburg Their leader still barks? Silence him. A dead shepherd scatters the flock.

Peasant Leader You’ll not grind us underheel, Waldburg! These fields will remember our blood longer than your name!

Cavalry Officer Lances down—ride through the rabble! Leave none standing!

Peasant Leader For the Twelve Articles and free soil! Swing wide—harvest these noble weeds!
