SELECTED
Prince Kaunitz
primary
A tall, slender man in his early sixties with an aristocratic bearing. His sharp, calculating eyes are framed by thin spectacles, and his powdered wig is meticulously styled. His features are refined, with a slightly pointed nose and thin lips that often curl into a knowing smile.
Prussian Envoy
primary
A tall, lean man in his late 40s with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes that betray a keen intellect. His posture is rigid, reflecting military discipline, and his hands are well-manicured but show the faint scars of a duelist. His dark blonde hair is powdered and tied back in a queue, typical of Prussian nobility.
Russian Envoy
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a neatly trimmed beard and sharp, piercing blue eyes. His posture exudes authority, though his features are carefully composed to maintain diplomatic neutrality.
Austrian Secretary
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and a neatly trimmed mustache. His eyes are keen and observant, darting between the speakers as he records the proceedings. His posture is upright but unobtrusive, reflecting his role as a silent participant in the negotiations.
Palace Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s, with a stern, weathered face and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with disciplined alertness, and his calloused hands rest firmly on the hilt of his saber. His posture is immaculate, reflecting years of military training.

Dialog

Prince Kaunitz Gentlemen, the map before us is not merely parchment and ink—it is the canvas upon which Fortuna herself paints the future of empires. Prussia's ambition is evident, but let us not forget that Vienna's hand guides the brush as well.
Prussian Envoy Ambition? No, Prince—this is necessity. The Polish crown has proven itself... unstable. Prussia acts not for gain, but for the preservation of order in Christendom.
Russian Envoy As the winter snow settles equally upon field and forest, so too must our divisions reflect nature's impartial balance. The territories east of the Dvina are... historically aligned with Saint Petersburg's interests.
Prince Kaunitz How poetic, Your Excellency. But I wonder—does the bear concern itself with the wolf's share when the hunter divides the carcass?
Prussian Envoy Enough metaphors. The troops are already positioned. Shall we sign before supper, or must Frederick's regiments demonstrate our commitment more... tangibly?
Prince Kaunitz Ah! The direct approach—how very... Prussian. Very well. But mark this: Habsburgs have long memories, and today's division may yet require tomorrow's adjustment.
