TNGF
SELECTED
Flann Sinna
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 40s with a commanding presence. His reddish-brown hair is neatly trimmed, and his beard is carefully groomed. His piercing blue eyes survey the gathering with a mix of pride and vigilance. His face bears the weathered look of a seasoned warrior, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone.
Abbot of Armagh
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with a deeply lined face and piercing blue eyes. His thin white hair is tonsured in the Celtic monastic style, and his long fingers bear the ink stains of a scholar. His posture is erect with the quiet authority of a churchman who has mediated many conflicts.
Munster King
secondary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with a weathered face marked by years of battle and leadership. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a traditional warrior's knot. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with cautious intensity, and a thick beard frames his strong jawline.
Royal Bard
secondary
A middle-aged man with a wiry frame, his long, graying hair tied back with a leather thong. His face is lined with the marks of a life spent traveling between courts, and his keen eyes reflect a sharp intellect. His hands, though calloused, move with the grace of one accustomed to playing the harp.
Guard Captain
background
A seasoned warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face bears a few old scars, testament to years of battle. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His piercing blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings for any sign of threat.

Dialog

Abbot of Armagh In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti... May the Lord grant you wisdom, Flann Sinna, as He did Solomon, to rule with justice and strength.
Flann Sinna By the will of the people and the blessing of the Church, I accept this mantle. May my reign bring peace to Éire, as the rivers bring life to the land.
Munster King A heavy crown rests upon the High King’s brow. Let us hope its weight does not blind him to the needs of the southern lands.
Flann Sinna The needs of all provinces are mine to bear, as the oak bears the weight of its branches. Munster shall not be forgotten.
Abbot of Armagh Unity under God and king is our strength. Let no man sow division where the Church has blessed the rightful ruler.
Munster King Blessings are well and good, Abbot, but the loyalty of men is won by deeds, not words.
Flann Sinna Then let my deeds speak louder than any oath sworn today. The Hill of Tara bears witness.
