TNGF
SELECTED
Domitian
primary
A man in his early 30s with a lean but muscular build, standing at average height for a Roman. His face is clean-shaven with sharp, angular features, piercing dark eyes, and a prominent nose. His short, curly hair is neatly trimmed in the Flavian style.
Senator Lucius
secondary
A senior senator in his late 50s, with a lean but dignified build. His face is lined with age and political experience, featuring a prominent Roman nose and sharp, calculating eyes. His short-cropped grey hair and neatly trimmed beard reflect the conservative style of the senatorial class.
Praetorian Prefect
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by a prominent scar across his left cheekbone. His close-cropped iron-gray hair and piercing dark eyes convey military discipline. His stance is rigid, with the bearing of a career soldier.
Senator Marcus
background
A younger senator in his early 30s, with a lean but athletic build typical of Roman nobility. His clean-shaven face is framed by short, dark curls styled in the conservative manner favored by senators. His sharp nose and high cheekbones give him a patrician appearance, though his pale complexion betrays his unease.
Praetorian Guard
background
A group of elite soldiers in their prime, standing in disciplined formation. Each guard is tall and muscular, with short-cropped hair and clean-shaven faces, exemplifying military precision. Their armor gleams under the palace lights, and their expressions are stern and unreadable, trained to conceal personal thoughts.
Dialog
Senator Lucius
By the will of Jupiter Optimus Maximus and the sacred right of succession, the Senate and People of Rome acclaim Titus Flavius Domitianus as our Augustus and Princeps.
Domitian
The Praetorian cohorts stand ready?
Praetorian Prefect
Every sword is pledged to your service, Dominus. The watchwords have been changed.
Domitian
Let the Senate note - Rome shall have order. As my father ordered the legions, so I order this city.
Senator Lucius
The August House stands ready to advise, as our ancestors decreed proper between Senate and Princeps.
Domitian
Advice is welcome. Obstruction is treason.
Praetorian Prefect
The palace is secured. The watch begins.
