TNGF
SELECTED
Viking Leader
primary
A tall Norse chieftain in his late 30s, with a muscular build weathered by years of sea voyages. His sun-bleached blond hair is tied back in a warrior's braid, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His piercing blue eyes scan the surroundings with authority, and a prominent scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Shipwright
secondary
A middle-aged Norse man with a muscular build from years of woodworking. His hands are rough and calloused, with a few scars from shipbuilding accidents. His sun-weathered face is framed by a short, greying beard and his keen eyes constantly assess the timber quality.
Irish Observer
secondary
A lean, wiry warrior in his late thirties with sun-weathered skin and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is shoulder-length, tied back with a leather thong, and his beard is short and neatly trimmed. A faded scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone, a mark of past battles.
Norse Laborer
background
A burly Viking settler in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and a thick blond beard streaked with sweat. His muscular arms bear faded blue tattoos of Norse knotwork, and his calloused hands grip timber with practiced ease. A fresh scratch runs across his left forearm from recent work.
Dialog
Viking Leader
By Thor's hammer, move those timbers faster! We raise the hall before nightfall or sleep in the mud.
Shipwright
The kjøl sits true, Jarl. But we need more oak for the biti—this green wood will warp by winter.
Irish Observer
Like rats building nests in another man's grain store...
Viking Leader
You there, Gael! Does your tongue flap loose, or will you speak words we can all hear?
Irish Observer
I said your ships are fine craft—for sea-wolves stealing what isn't theirs.
Shipwright
Jarl, the tide turns soon. Shall we finish the moorings or chase this hare?
Viking Leader
Aye. Let the Gaelic dogs bark—they'll learn to heel soon enough.
