Setting
A vast, marshy expanse of Hatfield Chase, with patches of dense woodland and open fields. The ground is uneven and soggy, with reeds and tall grasses swaying in the wind. The battlefield is littered with fallen warriors, their blood seeping into the damp earth.

TNGF
SELECTED
Northumbrian Warlord
primary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by battle. His hair is streaked with gray, and a thick beard covers his scarred jaw. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with grim determination.
Welsh Chieftain
primary
A powerfully built man in his late 30s, with a thick mane of dark brown hair and a wild beard. His face is weathered from years of battle, with piercing blue eyes that seem to glow with intensity. His body is covered in intricate blue woad tattoos, marking him as a leader among his people.
Mercian Warrior
secondary
A battle-hardened fighter from Mercia, with a stocky, muscular build honed by years of combat. His face is weathered and scarred from previous battles, with a thick beard streaked with grey. His dark eyes are sharp and alert, reflecting his experience in warfare. He stands slightly shorter than the average warrior but moves with a deceptive agility.
Northumbrian Standard Bearer
secondary
A young warrior in his early twenties, lean but muscular from years of training. His face is streaked with sweat and dirt, his fair hair matted with blood and mud. His blue eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.
Welsh Archer
background
A wiry man in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and keen eyes. His dark hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his arms show the sinewy strength of a lifelong bowman. His hands are calloused from years of drawing the yew bow slung across his back.
Dialog
Northumbrian Warlord
Hold the line, shield-wall tight! For the fallen king, we stand or die here!
Welsh Chieftain
Hear them whimper like hounds in the reeds! Break their spines, my wolf-pack!
Northumbrian Warlord
Aye, let these marsh-dwellers come - our spear-points hunger still!
Welsh Chieftain
Your king lies cold in the peat - his corpse laughs at your pride!
Northumbrian Warlord
Then we'll feast with him in Valhall! Spears high!
