SELECTED

Earl of Arran

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered Scottish noble in his early 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of battle and leadership. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a thick, reddish-brown beard streaked with grey. His muscular build and commanding presence make him a natural leader on the battlefield.

Earl of Angus

primary

A robust Scottish noble in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of battle and leadership. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with strategic precision, and his broad shoulders suggest a lifetime of wielding heavy weapons. A thick, reddish-brown beard covers his jaw, streaked with grey, and his hands are calloused from years of gripping sword hilts.

Scottish Soldier

secondary

A rugged, battle-hardened foot soldier in his late 20s, with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His face bears the scars of previous conflicts, and his hands are calloused from wielding weapons. His dark hair is tied back with a simple leather thong, and his beard is roughly trimmed.

Sir Ralph Eure

secondary

A middle-aged English commander with a sturdy build, weathered face, and a prominent scar across his left cheek. His short, greying beard and piercing blue eyes give him a commanding presence, though currently marred by surprise and confusion.

English Soldier

background

A young English foot soldier in his early twenties, with a wiry build and a face weathered by campaign life. His fair hair is matted under a padded coif, and his cheeks are flushed from exertion and the cold. His eyes are wide with shock, darting between the advancing Scottish forces and his comrades.

Dialog

Earl of Arran Steady now, lads. Let them come closer—like hounds to the hunt.

Earl of Angus Aye, they march blind into the jaws of the trap. Their arrogance will be their undoing.

Sir Ralph Eure Form ranks! Damn these Scots—they’ve sprung an ambush!

Earl of Arran Now! For Scotland and freedom!

Earl of Angus Cut them down before they rally. Leave none standing.

Sir Ralph Eure Fall back! Fall back, you fools!

Earl of Arran Let them run. The moor will claim them soon enough.
