SELECTED

James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray

primary

A tall, lean man in his late twenties with sharp angular features and a neatly trimmed auburn beard. His piercing gray eyes convey both intelligence and resolve, with faint worry lines forming between his brows. His posture is erect, speaking to his noble bearing and military training.

William Cecil

primary

A middle-aged man of slight build with a keen, intelligent face. His features are sharp, with a high forehead, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His posture is upright, reflecting his disciplined nature.

French Diplomat

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight but wiry build, with sharp, angular features and a neatly trimmed dark beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes are narrowed with restrained displeasure, and his posture carries the rigid bearing of a man forced into an unfavorable position.

Scottish Scribe

secondary

A lean, middle-aged man with sharp features and a sallow complexion, his ink-stained fingers moving swiftly across parchment. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and he has a neatly trimmed beard. His eyes flicker between the document and the negotiating parties with nervous intensity.

English Guard

background

A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with military precision, and his right hand rests on the hilt of his broadsword, ready to respond to any threat. His stance is rigid, with his feet slightly apart for balance, and his left hand rests on his belt near a dagger.

Dialog

James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray By this instrument, it being so that France withdraws her forces from Leith, we secure Scotland's sovereignty under God's own law.

William Cecil Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth shall find these terms most satisfactory, as they ensure the peace and amity between our realms.

French Diplomat It is with profound regret that we acquiesce to these... adjustments in our ancient alliance with Scotland.

James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray Regret is a heavy burden, monsieur. But lighter, I reckon, than French soldiers upon Scottish soil.

William Cecil Let history record this day not as a victory for England or Scotland alone, but for the Reformed faith throughout Christendom.

French Diplomat History, like ink, may be... reinterpreted in time.
