TNGF

SELECTED

Thomas Müntzer

primary

A gaunt man in his mid-30s with intense, dark eyes that burn with fervor. His face is lined with the strain of leadership and lack of sleep, framed by a short, unkempt beard. His wiry frame suggests a life of asceticism and constant movement.

Peasant Captain

secondary

A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry but strong build, his face weathered by years of labor and recent battles. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and dust, and a thick beard partially hides a scar running from his left cheekbone to his jaw. His hands are calloused, gripping a makeshift spear with practiced ease.

Swabian League Commander

secondary

A middle-aged man of stern countenance, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of military service. His short, graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold precision. A scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.

Peasant Archer

background

A young man in his early twenties, lean and wiry from a life of hard labor, with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands. His dark hair is tousled and matted with sweat, and his eyes dart nervously between his comrades and the approaching enemy.

League Halberdier

background

A grizzled veteran soldier in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by scars from previous battles. His muscular frame shows years of military training, and his sunken eyes betray the fatigue of prolonged campaigns. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons, and his stance is steady despite the tension of the approaching battle.

Dialog

Thomas Müntzer Behold! The Lord hath delivered these godless princes into our hands, as He did the Midianites to Gideon! Let every man raise his sickle not for harvest, but for the reaping of the wicked!

Peasant Captain Their pikes advance like a thresher's teeth—form the wagon wall tight, lads! Let them break upon us like waves on rock!

Swabian League Commander Forward halberdiers—show this rabble how steel bites deeper than scripture.

Thomas Müntzer Verily I say unto you—he who fears the sword more than damnation is already damned! Today we forge God's kingdom in their blood!

Peasant Captain Archers! Loose when their greaves glint in the sun—that's thirty paces!

Swabian League Commander Cannon to the ridge. Burn their prophet's tongue from his mouth.

Thomas Müntzer Ezekiel's wheel turns upon this hill! Strike now and the very stones shall cry out with you!
