TNGF

SELECTED

Earl of Arran

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered nobleman in his mid-40s with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His piercing blue eyes scan the terrain with military precision, and a close-cropped reddish beard frames his strong jaw. A diagonal scar crosses his left cheekbone - a souvenir from past battles.

Earl of Angus

primary

A formidable middle-aged warrior with a broad, muscular build and weathered features. His face is marked with scars from previous battles, and his piercing blue eyes betray a sharp, tactical mind. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and tied back, and he sports a thick, well-trimmed beard.

Sir Ralph Eure

secondary

A middle-aged English commander with a sturdy, battle-hardened build, standing at average height. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a close-cropped beard and piercing grey eyes that exude confidence. His hair, streaked with grey, is kept short under his helmet.

English Lieutenant

secondary

A wiry man in his early 30s with a sharp, angular face marked by a thin scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His sunken eyes, shadowed by the brim of his helmet, dart nervously across the terrain. His gaunt frame suggests years of campaigning rather than noble leisure.

Scottish Archer

background

A wiry, sun-weathered man in his late twenties with a lean, muscular build from years of archery practice. His face is partially obscured by a coarse, unkempt beard, and his piercing blue eyes are fixed intently on the approaching English forces. His hands are calloused from drawing his longbow, and his stance is steady despite the tension of the moment.

Dialog

Earl of Arran Hold until my signal. Let them march deeper into the morass—their arrogance will be their undoing.

Earl of Angus Aye, they tread like blind men. The marsh will claim their horses before our arrows find their marks.

Sir Ralph Eure Forward, damn you! What’s a little mud to English steel? This rabble won’t stand against us.

English Lieutenant Sir—the ground’s too soft for the cannon, and these hills... they could hide an army.

Sir Ralph Eure Enough! I’ll not hear cowardice from my own men. Sound the advance!

Earl of Arran Now—loose, and may God judge them harshly.

Earl of Angus For Scotland! For vengeance!
