TNGF

SELECTED

Viking Raider Captain

primary

A towering Norse warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of raiding. His sun-weathered face bears a long, jagged scar across the left cheek, and his ice-blue eyes gleam with battle-lust. Thick blonde braids, intertwined with leather cords, frame his face, and his beard is neatly plaited with iron rings.

Monk Prior

primary

A gaunt, elderly man in his late 60s with a deeply lined face and a long, white beard. His piercing blue eyes, though aged, burn with fervor. His hands are calloused from years of labor and prayer, and his posture is slightly stooped from a lifetime of study and devotion.

Viking Warrior

secondary

A burly Norse fighter in his late 20s, standing tall with a muscular build honed by years of raiding. His face is weathered by sea winds, marked by a fresh scar across his left cheek. His long, unkempt blonde hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his beard is braided with small bone beads. His piercing blue eyes gleam with a mix of excitement and greed.

Young Monk

secondary

A slender novice monk in his late teens, with a pale complexion and short, unevenly cut brown hair typical of monastic tonsure. His face is smooth, lacking the weathered lines of older monks, and his wide, fearful eyes are a striking blue. His hands are ink-stained from recent scribal work.

Monk Scribe

background

A middle-aged monk with a lean, wiry frame, his face lined with the strain of long hours spent hunched over manuscripts. His hands are ink-stained, and his short-cropped brown hair is slightly disheveled from his frantic efforts.

Dialog

Viking Raider Captain Break open the reliquary! Gold weighs more than prayers.

Monk Prior I adjure you by the Holy Cross! These sacred vessels belong to God alone!

Viking Warrior Thor's hammer! This cross shines brighter than Freyja's tears!

Viking Raider Captain Waste no time on their whining Christ-god. The tide won't wait for cowards.

Monk Prior May God's wrath find you in this life and the next, heathen!

Viking Warrior Captain! The scriptorium burns bright as Baldr's pyre!

Viking Raider Captain Good. Let their books feed the flames while we feed our ships with silver.
