TNGF

SELECTED

Thomas Müntzer

primary

A middle-aged man with intense, piercing eyes and a gaunt face framed by a dark beard. His wiry frame exudes restless energy, and his hands are calloused from both labor and writing. His hair is unkempt, streaked with gray, and his posture is upright with a preacher's commanding presence.

Peasant Captain

secondary

A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his left ear bears a noticeable scar from a previous skirmish.

Swabian League Commander

secondary

A middle-aged noble officer with a stern, weathered face, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His athletic build suggests years of military training, and his posture exudes authority. He wears a polished steel breastplate over a padded doublet, with the Swabian League's insignia prominently displayed.

Peasant Archer

background

A young man in his early twenties, lean and wiry from years of hard labor, with sunburnt skin and calloused hands. His dark hair is tousled and unkempt, and his eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.

Swabian Knight

background

A battle-hardened cavalryman in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by old scars. His steel-blue eyes are sharp and focused, scanning the peasant barricades with a mix of professional assessment and quiet resolve. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and a thick beard covers his jaw.

Dialog

Thomas Müntzer Hear me, brothers! The Lord has delivered these godless princes into our hands, as He did the Egyptians at the Red Sea! Stand firm, for the sickle of divine justice shall reap their pride this day!

Peasant Captain Archers to the wagons! Their cavalry will charge when the cannon smoke clears!

Swabian League Commander Artillery crews—fire at will. Let these rabble learn the price of rebellion against their betters.

Thomas Müntzer See how they tremble behind their bronze tubes! The gates of hell shall not prevail against the righteous!

Peasant Captain Steady lads... wait for my call to loose. Aim for the horses first.

Swabian League Commander Lancers forward. Leave none standing where that mad preacher's banner flies.

Thomas Müntzer Today we plant the seeds of God's kingdom in the blood of tyrants! Let every stroke of your scythes be a prayer!
