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 outdoors, with deep lines of fervor around his mouth and forehead. His hands are calloused from both labor and gripping the hilt of his sword.

Philip I of Hesse

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early twenties with a stern, angular face. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold calculation. His dark blonde hair is cropped short in the military fashion of German nobility, and a neatly trimmed beard frames his jaw. His posture exudes authority, with shoulders squared and chin slightly raised.

Peasant Rebel

secondary

A gaunt man in his late 20s with sunken cheeks and wild, unkempt brown hair. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his left arm hangs limp from a deep gash near the shoulder. His eyes are wide with terror, darting between the advancing soldiers and his fleeing comrades.

George of Saxony

secondary

A middle-aged man in his late 40s with a sturdy, aristocratic build. His face is weathered but clean-shaven, with sharp features and piercing eyes that reflect his noble lineage. His hair is dark brown, streaked with gray, and cut short in the fashion of German nobility.

Artillery Captain

background

A middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, graying beard. His build is sturdy, with broad shoulders from years of handling heavy artillery. His hands are calloused, and his posture exudes authority.

Wounded Peasant

background

A young man in his late twenties, with a gaunt face and sunken eyes, his body weakened by hunger and exhaustion. His tanned skin is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his matted hair clings to his forehead. A deep wound in his side oozes blood, staining his ragged clothing.

Thomas Müntzer Stand fast, brethren! The princes' cannons are but Satan's breath—the Lord shall smite them as He did Pharaoh's host!

Peasant Rebel God's mercy, Pastor—they cut us down like barley at harvest! The black powder... the black powder takes men whole!

Philip I of Hesse Let the guns speak again—we'll teach these clodhoppers why Dis Pater favors princes over pitchforks.

Thomas Müntzer Sic transit gloria mundi! The stone uncut by hands shall yet crush these golden idols!

Peasant Rebel The hill—make for the hill! If we reach the trees... by Saint Anne's grace...
