TNGF
SELECTED
King Constantine II of Scotland
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 60s with a long white beard that reaches his chest. His face is deeply lined from years of rule, with piercing blue eyes that still hold regal authority despite his aged appearance. His hands, now clasped in prayer, show the scars of old battle wounds.
Bishop Cellach
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late fifties with a deeply lined face that speaks of years spent in both prayer and political maneuvering. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick silver brows, and his long fingers bear the ink stains of a scholar. A prominent Celtic cross pendant rests against his chest.
Nobleman
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 40s with a neatly trimmed beard streaked with grey. His piercing blue eyes survey the scene with a mix of calculation and concern. His hands, marked by old sword calluses, clasp tightly behind his back.
Acolyte
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, slender with a pale complexion typical of those who spend much time indoors. His brown hair is neatly tonsured in the monastic style, and his hands are delicate yet calloused from hours of copying manuscripts. His light blue eyes frequently dart between the bishop and the king with reverent attention.
Guard Captain
background
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with weathered skin and a thick beard streaked with gray. His nose bears the crooked mark of an old break, and his hands are calloused from years of gripping sword hilts. Piercing blue eyes watch the ceremony with quiet intensity beneath heavy brows.
Dialog
King Constantine II
By the grace of God and the will of my people, I lay down this crown... as I take up the cross of Christ.
Bishop Cellach
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti... we receive this earthly symbol to return it to heaven's keeping.
Nobleman
Does not the realm require... continuity in these uncertain times?
Bishop Cellach
The continuity of souls matters more than the continuity of swords, my lord.
King Constantine II
Forty winters I bore this weight... let no man say I shrink from duty now.
Nobleman
The Northmen still raid our coasts... who shall lead the hosts now?
Bishop Cellach
Let us first sanctify this holy transition... the temporal concerns will find their hour.
