TNGF
SELECTED
Prior Eochaid
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a frail but wiry build, deep-set blue eyes, and a face lined with care and wisdom. His thin white hair is tonsured in the monastic style, and his hands bear the calluses of both prayer and manual labor.
Brother Fiachra
primary
A lean young man in his early twenties with a pale complexion and close-cropped brown hair in the monastic style. His blue eyes are wide with urgency, and his hands bear the ink stains of a scribe. He moves with the restless energy of youth tempered by monastic discipline.
Farmer
secondary
A middle-aged Irish farmer with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. His dark hair is streaked with gray and tied back with a leather thong. His beard is short and unkempt, with traces of dirt from working the fields.
Viking Warrior
secondary
A towering Norse raider in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of seafaring and battle. His face is weathered by salt and wind, framed by thick blonde braids interwoven with iron rings. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline, and his ice-blue eyes gleam with predatory focus. His arms bear intricate serpent tattoos marking past victories.
Monk
background
A middle-aged monk with a lean, wiry build, his face weathered from years of monastic labor. His tonsured head is ringed with short, dark hair streaked with gray, and his hands bear ink stains from manuscript work.
Dialog
Farmer
The heathen wolves come! Smoke rises from the rath like chaff in the wind!
Prior Eochaid
May Christ shield us. Fiachra, take the holy burdens to the crypt beneath the altar—quickly now.
Brother Fiachra
By Brigid's cloak! Is it the Psalter of Colum Cille we're to save first, Prior?
Prior Eochaid
All that can be carried, my son. Leave not even a wax tablet for their pagan hands.
Farmer
Their longships beach at the ford—your blessing on my blade before I stand with the others?
Prior Eochaid
May Michael's sword guide yours. But remember—defend lives before land when the wolves howl.
Brother Fiachra
The novice says they've torched the granary—merciful Christ, is nothing sacred to them?
