SELECTED
Edward the Elder
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that reflect both his father's wisdom and his own warrior's intensity. His light brown hair is neatly trimmed, and his face bears the faint scars of battles fought alongside his father. His posture exudes regal authority, tempered by the solemnity of the occasion.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His white hair is thinning, and his hands are gnarled with age. He stands with a slight stoop, but his presence commands respect.
Aethelred the Noble
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late forties with a weathered face marked by years of battle and governance. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick, dark brows, and his long, graying beard is meticulously groomed. His hands, resting on the hilt of his ceremonial sword, bear the scars of numerous skirmishes.
Warrior Captain
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, graying beard. His body bears numerous scars from battles, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons. His posture is upright and commanding, exuding authority and experience.
Chapel Acolyte
background
A slender youth of about 15 years, with a pale complexion and light brown hair cropped short in the clerical style. His hands are delicate but slightly reddened from scrubbing sacred vessels. His wide blue eyes dart nervously beneath a high forehead.

Dialog

Archbishop of Canterbury In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, I crown thee Edward, King of the Anglo-Saxons, as thy father Alfred was before thee.
Edward the Elder By the grace of God and the will of this assembly, I accept this crown, swearing to uphold the laws of this land and defend it from all foes, as my lord father Alfred taught us.
Aethelred the Noble The realm rejoices to see Alfred's blood continue its righteous rule. May God grant you wisdom in these troubled times, my king.
Edward the Elder Your loyalty is noted, Aethelred. Together we shall drive back the Northmen as my father did, and more besides.
Archbishop of Canterbury Let all present bear witness to this sacred covenant between king and people. So witnessed before God and these holy relics.
