TNGF
SELECTED
King Oswald of Northumbria
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a strong, regal bearing. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp blue eyes that reflect both intelligence and deep faith. His long, light brown hair is tied back with a simple leather cord, revealing a face weathered by both battle and prayer. His hands are calloused from wielding both sword and cross.
Northumbrian Warrior
secondary
A burly man in his late 30s, with a thick beard streaked with grey and a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His muscular frame shows years of combat training, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both experience and fervor.
Priest
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a gaunt face marked by deep lines of contemplation and devotion. His piercing blue eyes reflect a quiet intensity, and his thinning grey hair is cropped short in the monastic style. His hands, often clasped in prayer, are calloused from years of labor and writing.
Cadwallon ap Cadfan
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered Welsh king in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of warfare. His dark brown hair is long and unkempt, streaked with hints of gray, and his piercing blue eyes are framed by a thick beard. His face bears several scars from previous battles, adding to his fearsome appearance.
Welsh Warrior
background
A battle-hardened fighter in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered skin from years of combat. His dark hair is tied back in a loose braid, and his face bears several old scars, including a prominent one across his left cheek. His piercing blue eyes are sharp with vigilance.

Dialog

King Oswald of Northumbria Men of Northumbria, today we stand beneath the cross of Christ, as our forefathers stood at the Red Sea. Let faith be your shield and righteousness your sword!
Northumbrian Warrior Aye, my lord! We'll send these Welsh dogs back to their mountains with Christian steel in their bellies!
Priest Dominus vobiscum, noble king. The Lord of Hosts goes before you as He went before Joshua at Jericho.
King Oswald of Northumbria Deo gratias, father. Let Cadwallon learn this day that no man stands against the will of Heaven and prevails.
Northumbrian Warrior The pagan banners advance, my king! Shall we meet them at the ford?
King Oswald of Northumbria Nay, we hold this holy ground. Let them break upon our faith like waves upon the rock!
Priest May Saint Peter's keys unlock Heaven's mercy for all who fall this day in righteous cause.
