TNGF
SELECTED
Saint Brigid
primary
A woman of middle years, with a strong yet graceful build. Her face is weathered by the Irish winds, yet radiates warmth and determination. Her hands are calloused from labor, and her blue eyes carry both wisdom and kindness. She wears her auburn hair partially covered by a simple veil.
Brother Dara
secondary
A middle-aged monk with a wiry build, his face weathered from years of outdoor labor and prayer. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the monastic tonsure, and his hazel eyes hold a quiet intensity. His hands are calloused from both farming and copying manuscripts.
Novice
secondary
A slender young woman in her late teens with fair skin flushed from exertion. Her auburn hair is neatly braided and tucked under a simple linen veil. She has wide, hazel eyes that dart between tasks with nervous energy, and her hands are calloused but delicate.
Local Farmer
background
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set wrinkles from years of outdoor labor, and calloused hands. His build is sturdy and muscular, typical of someone accustomed to hard physical work. His hair is short and unkempt, streaked with gray, and his beard is trimmed but uneven.
Dialog
Saint Brigid
As the oak roots drink deeply from this blessed earth, so too shall our prayers rise from this place like incense to heaven.
Novice
Mother Brigid? The bread—I mean, the blessed bread is ready—should I place it here? Or perhaps—
Brother Dara
Peace, child. The altar stone waits yonder, where the morning sun first touches our clearing.
Saint Brigid
See how the smoke from our fire curls heavenward? So shall this abbey be a beacon calling all who seek Christ.
Novice
Oh! Yes, yes—I'll place it there—and should I kneel? Or stand? Brother Dara said—
Brother Dara
As the sapling bends but does not break in the wind, so must we be both steadfast and yielding before the Lord.
Saint Brigid
Come, my children. Let us walk the boundaries of this sacred ground, that our footsteps may hallow what our hands shall build.
