TNGF
SELECTED
King Edmund I
primary
A young man of 18 years with a lean but strong build, standing tall with an air of regal dignity. His fair hair is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and the weight of responsibility. His face is clean-shaven, showcasing his youth, yet his expression carries a maturity beyond his years.
Archbishop Oda
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 50s with sharp features and piercing blue eyes. His silver hair is neatly tonsured in the Roman fashion, and his long fingers bear the ink stains of a scholar. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone - a relic from his warrior youth before taking holy orders.
Ealdorman Aethelstan
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late forties with a weathered face marked by a long scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His thick, graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings. His hands, clasped behind his back, are calloused from years of wielding a sword.
Warrior Captain
secondary
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and several visible scars on his face and arms. His sun-weathered skin and piercing blue eyes reflect years of outdoor campaigns. His dark brown hair is tied back in a traditional Anglo-Saxon warrior's knot, and his beard is neatly trimmed but shows signs of recent neglect due to his duties.
Young Acolyte
background
A slender youth of about 16 years, with a pale complexion and short, light brown hair that is neatly trimmed in the clerical style. His hands are delicate, betraying his scholarly upbringing, but they tremble slightly with nervous energy. His wide, hazel eyes dart about, reflecting both reverence and anxiety.
Dialog
Archbishop Oda
By the grace of Almighty God and the sacred rites of Holy Church, I anoint thee, Edmund, as rightful king of this realm.
King Edmund I
I accept this sacred trust, for the welfare of our people and the glory of Christendom.
Ealdorman Aethelstan
May your reign be as strong as your grandsire's, my lord. The Danes will test us before winter's end.
Archbishop Oda
The Lord girdeth kings with strength and maketh their way perfect. Remember this when dark days come.
King Edmund I
With God's help and the loyalty of true men, we shall defend this land as Alfred did before us.
