TNGF

SELECTED

Thomas Müntzer

primary

A middle-aged man with a gaunt, intense face, deep-set eyes burning with fervor, and a short, unkempt beard. His wiry frame is tense with the energy of his convictions, and his hands are calloused from both labor and holding a sword.

Philip I of Hesse

primary

A tall, imposing figure in his early twenties, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His athletic build is evident even beneath his armor, and his short, neatly trimmed beard adds to his commanding presence.

Peasant Captain

secondary

A grizzled man in his late 40s with a wiry but strong build, his face weathered by years of toil. His dark hair is streaked with gray and tied back with a leather thong. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past conflicts. His hands are calloused and bear the marks of many battles.

Knight Commander

secondary

A battle-hardened knight in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of combat. His steel-gray eyes are sharp and focused, and a prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles. His graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his posture exudes authority and discipline.

Wounded Rebel

background

A young peasant fighter, approximately 18-22 years old, with a lean but wiry build from years of hard labor. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and a deep gash on his left arm bleeds freely. His hair is matted and unkempt, and his eyes burn with a mix of pain and defiance.

Dialog

Thomas Müntzer Brethren, stand firm! The Lord of Hosts marches with us this day! These godless princes shall fall before the sickle of divine justice, as wheat before the reaper!

Philip I of Hesse Our cavalry shall break their lines on the left flank. Let none escape to spread their heresy further. This rabble must learn obedience to both earthly and heavenly lords.

Peasant Captain Pitchforks to the front! Those with scythes—hold the high ground! If their horsemen break through, we're all dead men!

Thomas Müntzer Fear not their armor nor their lances! Does not Scripture say the last shall be first? Today the meek shall inherit this earth—by force of righteous arms!

Philip I of Hesse See how their so-called prophet hides behind women and farmers? Let his blood water these fields as warning to all who would defy God's ordained order.

Peasant Captain Müntzer's right about one thing—we die here whether we fight or kneel. Better to take some of these damned knights with us!

Thomas Müntzer Hear the very stones cry out for justice! The fifth trumpet sounds—let us be the Lord's hammer upon these Pharaohs of Germany!
