Hall of Mirrors, Palace of Versailles, France. The grand hall is adorned with crystal chandeliers, gilded statues, and floor-to-ceiling mirrors that reflect the opulence of the French monarchy.

TNGF
SELECTED
Woodrow Wilson
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 60s with a gaunt face, high forehead, and piercing gray-blue eyes. His posture is upright but slightly stiff, a result of his academic background and recent health struggles. He wears round, wire-rimmed glasses that give him a scholarly appearance.
David Lloyd George
primary
A middle-aged Welshman of average height with a wiry build, sharp features, and a prominent nose. His thinning hair is combed back, and he sports a well-groomed mustache. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and a calculating nature.
Georges Clemenceau
primary
A wiry, middle-aged man with a sharp, angular face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent mustache. His posture is upright, exuding authority, and his hands are slightly gnarled with age. His piercing gaze reflects both determination and weariness.
German Delegate
secondary
A middle-aged man with a stern, gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a tightly clenched jaw. His posture is rigid, betraying the tension he feels. His dark hair is neatly combed, with streaks of gray at the temples, and his mustache is trimmed in a conservative style. His hands are slightly trembling, a sign of suppressed emotion.
French Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 20s with a stern, clean-shaven face and short-cropped dark hair. His posture is rigid, reflecting his military training, and his piercing blue eyes scan the room with vigilance.

Dialog

Georges Clemenceau Let history remember this day, when justice was served and France secured her future.
Woodrow Wilson In principle, this treaty must serve as the foundation for lasting peace, not merely retribution. The League will ensure it.
David Lloyd George A heavy pen today, gentlemen. Let us hope it writes a future lighter than the past.
Georges Clemenceau Justice is never light, Prime Minister. Germany must bear the weight of her actions.
Woodrow Wilson Yet if the burden crushes them entirely, Europe will reap only bitterness. The moral imperative is balance.
David Lloyd George Balance, yes—like a surgeon’s knife. Too deep, and the patient bleeds; too shallow, and the wound festers.
Georges Clemenceau Enough philosophy. The ink is dry. Let Germany learn the price of war.
