TNGF

SELECTED

Thomas Müntzer

primary

A gaunt man in his mid-30s with intense dark eyes and a short, unkempt beard. His face is weathered from years of preaching and hardship, with deep lines of fervor around his mouth and forehead. His frame is wiry but strong, bearing the marks of ascetic living.

Peasant Rebel Leader

secondary

A burly man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and a fresh scar runs across his left cheekbone. His muscular frame shows signs of recent exhaustion, but his posture remains defiant.

Landgrave Philip I

secondary

A tall, imposing nobleman in his early 30s with a strong, athletic build. His face is clean-shaven with sharp, angular features, and piercing blue eyes that survey the battlefield with calculated detachment. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed under his plumed helmet.

Knight Captain

secondary

A battle-hardened cavalry leader in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous engagements. His piercing blue eyes are visible through the visor of his sallet helmet, and his short, dark beard is flecked with gray. His armor is well-maintained but bears the dents and scratches of frequent use.

Young Peasant

background

A thin, wiry youth of about 16 years, with sunburnt skin and calloused hands from farm labor. His matted brown hair sticks to his forehead with sweat, and his wide eyes show the whites all around. He stands slightly hunched, muscles tensed like a cornered animal.

Dialog

Thomas Müntzer Hear me, children of the true faith! The Lord of Hosts has delivered these whited sepulchers into our hands! Let their blood water the fields as the prophets foretold!

Peasant Rebel Leader Form the pikes, you louts! Tight as sheaves or their horses will trample us!

Landgrave Philip I Let the cavalry advance in echelon. We shall purge this heresy from our lands as God wills.

Thomas Müntzer Ecce quam bonum! The servant of the Living God sees their fear! Strike now and the Kingdom shall be yours!

Peasant Rebel Leader Hold the damn line! Their lances can't reach us if we stand firm!

Landgrave Philip I Mark the rabble-rouser. His head shall adorn our gates ere vespers.

Thomas Müntzer The fifth angel sounds his trumpet! Revelations unfolds before us!
