Battle of Ancrum Moor

Setting
Ancrum Moor, a bleak and windswept expanse of rolling hills and scrubland in the Scottish Borders. The battlefield is uneven, with patches of frozen earth and thin snow cover. A dense mist lingers in the hollows, partially obscuring the movement of troops.

TNGF
SELECTED
Scottish Commander
primary
A rugged, middle-aged nobleman with a weathered face, deep-set grey eyes, and a thick red beard streaked with silver. His broad shoulders and muscular frame speak of years spent training for battle. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past conflicts.
English Captain
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late thirties with a weathered face, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is rigid, reflecting years of military discipline. A thin scar runs diagonally across his left cheek, a remnant of past battles.
Scottish Archer
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties, with a lean, muscular build honed by years of archery. His face is weathered by wind and sun, and his keen eyes scan the battlefield with precision. His hair is dark and tied back with a simple leather cord.
English Soldier
secondary
A weary foot soldier in his late twenties, with a gaunt face and sunken eyes from months of campaigning. His wiry frame is tense with exhaustion, yet his grip on his pike remains firm. A fresh bruise discolors his left cheekbone, and his knuckles are scraped raw.
Scottish Piper
background
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build and wind-chapped cheeks, his piercing blue eyes scanning the battlefield as he plays. His fingers are calloused from years of piping, and his stance is steady despite the cold.
Dialog

Alba gu bràth! Hold the line, lads! Let them feel the bite of our steel!
English Captain
Steady, men! Form ranks and advance! Let none break through!
English Soldier
God's teeth, these Scots are like devils in the mist!
Scottish Commander
For Scotland and freedom! Drive them back to their English holes!
English Captain
Hold fast! Let not their cries unsettle you! We are the king's men!
English Soldier
Aye, sir, but the king's not here to die with us, is he?
Scottish Commander
Now, lads! Now is the hour of our vengeance! Charge!
