TNGF
SELECTED
King Edmund I
primary
A young man of 18 years with a lean but strong warrior's build, standing tall at the altar. His fair hair is neatly trimmed in the Anglo-Saxon style, framing a face marked by both youthful vigor and the solemnity of the moment. His piercing blue eyes reflect the weight of his new responsibilities.
Archbishop Oda
primary
A gaunt, middle-aged man with sharp features and deep-set eyes that burn with quiet intensity. His thinning gray hair is tonsured in the Roman fashion, and his long fingers bear the ink stains of a scholar. Though slightly stooped from years of study, he carries himself with the authority of Christ's anointed.
Ealdorman Aethelstan
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered Anglo-Saxon nobleman in his late forties with weathered skin from years of campaigning. His dark brown hair, streaked with gray, is cut in the traditional Saxon style, falling just above his shoulders. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with quiet intensity, and a thick beard frames his strong jaw. His hands, resting on his belt, bear the scars of battle.
Deacon
secondary
A middle-aged clergyman of slender build, with a clean-shaven face and short, dark hair receding slightly at the temples. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling sacred objects with reverence.
Warrior Guard
background
A broad-shouldered housecarl in his mid-30s with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His thick beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes scan the crowd vigilantly. He stands with the solid stance of a seasoned warrior, his muscular frame clad in well-worn battle gear.
