TNGF
SELECTED
King Æthelstan of England
primary
A tall, imposing man in his early 40s with a strong, angular face, piercing blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard. His broad shoulders and upright posture exude authority and military prowess. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone.
Constantine II of Scotland
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late forties with a weathered face, piercing blue eyes, and a thick red beard streaked with grey. His muscular frame bears the scars of numerous battles, and his bearing exudes the authority of a seasoned warrior-king.
Owain of Strathclyde
secondary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with a weathered face marked by years of leadership and conflict. His dark hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a simple warrior's knot. His piercing blue eyes reflect both wisdom and wariness.
Ealdred of Bamburgh
secondary
A middle-aged Northumbrian lord with a sturdy, battle-hardened build. His face is weathered from years of northern winds, with a prominent nose and deep-set eyes that betray a sharp intelligence. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, worn slightly longer than the southern fashion, and his beard is neatly trimmed.
English Guard Captain
background
A seasoned warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face bears the scars of past battles, and his piercing blue eyes constantly scan for threats. His short, dark brown hair is slightly greying at the temples.
Scottish Herald
background
A young man in his early twenties, slender but wiry from years of messenger duties. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and a slightly upturned nose. His hair is auburn, tied back in a simple leather thong. His hands are calloused from gripping reins and scrolls.

Dialog

King Æthelstan of England By the grace of God and the strength of our arms, we stand united on this bridge. Let our words now forge bonds stronger than iron, lest the rivers run red with the blood of our people.
Constantine II of Scotland Aye, bonds you speak of, yet I see the glint of steel at your back. Does your peace come with a blade at our throats, or will you treat us as equals under heaven?
Owain of Strathclyde The hawk and the wolf may circle the same field, but need not tear at each other's flesh. Let us divide the land as the river divides the banks—each to his own, yet flowing together in purpose.
King Æthelstan of England Your words carry wisdom, Owain. But know this, Constantine—the crown I wear was forged in the fires of conquest. I would have it shine in peace, but its weight is not lightly borne.
Constantine II of Scotland Then let your peace be as firm as the stones beneath our feet, and not as shifting as the sands of your ambition. My people will not bow, but they will treat with honor.
Owain of Strathclyde Honor binds us all. Let this bridge be remembered not as a battleground, but as the crossing where three kings walked as one.
King Æthelstan of England So be it. By the Holy Cross and the memory of my grandfather Alfred, I swear peace upon these terms—so long as the borders hold and the oaths are kept.
