TNGF

SELECTED

King Oswald of Northumbria

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a strong, regal bearing. His face is weathered from years of battle and leadership, with piercing blue eyes that convey both determination and a deep spiritual conviction. His dark brown hair is shoulder-length, slightly unkempt from the heat of battle, and his beard is neatly trimmed. He carries himself with the confidence of a warrior-king, his muscular frame honed by years of combat.

King Penda of Mercia

primary

A formidable warrior in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of battle. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a traditional Mercian warrior's knot. His piercing blue eyes are filled with determination and a fierce pride in his pagan heritage.

Northumbrian Warrior

secondary

A rugged, battle-hardened man in his late 20s, with a muscular build and sun-weathered skin. His face bears several old scars, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and weariness. His dark brown hair is tied back in a simple warrior's knot, and his beard is short and unkempt.

Mercian Warrior

secondary

A burly man in his late twenties, with a muscular build honed by years of battle. His face is weathered and scarred, with a thick beard and piercing blue eyes that reflect his fierce determination. His arms are adorned with intricate tattoos, symbols of his pagan faith and warrior status.

Northumbrian Priest

secondary

A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a short, neatly trimmed beard. His hair is thinning, with a tonsure marking his clerical status. His hands are calloused from years of manual labor and prayer, and his posture is slightly stooped from years of bending over sacred texts.
