The rolling hills outside Frankenhausen, a battlefield strewn with bodies and abandoned weapons. The town's walls are visible in the distance, smoke rising from its gates. The ground is churned mud from thousands of trampling feet and horses.

TNGF
SELECTED
Thomas Müntzer
primary
A gaunt man in his mid-thirties with intense dark eyes and a short, unkempt beard. His face bears the marks of exhaustion and recent wounds, with a deep gash across his forehead and bruises forming on his cheekbones. His hands are rough from labor and gripping weapons, now bound tightly behind his back.
Mercenary Captain
primary
A battle-hardened man in his late 30s with a muscular build, his face weathered by years of campaigning. A jagged scar runs from his right temple to his jawline, and his nose is slightly crooked from past breaks. His dark hair is cropped short beneath a dented burgonet helmet, and his piercing grey eyes survey the battlefield with cold efficiency.
Peasant Soldier
secondary
A gaunt man in his late twenties, with sunken cheeks and a hollow gaze. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and his wiry frame shows signs of malnutrition. A deep gash across his left forearm bleeds sluggishly, staining his tattered sleeve. His face is smeared with mud and soot, and his lips are cracked from thirst.
Looting Mercenary
secondary
A wiry man in his late 20s with sunken cheeks and a patchy beard, his face marked by smallpox scars. His knuckles are swollen from years of swordplay, and his left ear bears a fresh cut from recent combat. Moves with the hunched posture of someone accustomed to both violence and subservience.
Wounded Peasant
background
A middle-aged peasant man with a gaunt, sunken face, his skin pale from blood loss. His wiry frame is covered in mud and blood, with a deep wound visible on his side. His hands are calloused from years of labor, now trembling weakly as he crawls.
Dialog
Thomas Müntzer
Thou blood-soaked hound of princes! The Lord's sickle shall reap thee next—yea, even as ye have threshed His harvest this day!
Mercenary Captain
Save thy sermons for the crows, preacher. Thy 'harvest' lies rotting in the mud—six thousand fools who thought scythes could match swords.
Peasant Soldier
Bruder Thomas... the banners... all fallen... what do we...?
Thomas Müntzer
Stand fast! Does not Revelation declare 'the blood of martyrs is the seed'? This field shall sprout righteousness anew!
Mercenary Captain
Seed for the worms, more like. Your 'righteousness' bought you steel and fire—and my men's pay doubled.
Peasant Soldier
They're... they're coming for the wounded... oh sweet Christ...
Thomas Müntzer
Then meet them upright! Better to die as Joshua's warriors than live as Pharaoh's slaves!
