Death of King Edmund I
King Edmund I of England is stabbed by a thief named Leofa during a feast in his royal hall, abruptly ending the revelry and plunging the gathering into chaos.
Setting
Royal hall in Pucklechurch, Gloucestershire, a large timber-framed structure with a high ceiling and a central hearth. The hall is filled with long wooden tables and benches, adorned with tapestries depicting battles and hunting scenes. The king's high seat is at the far end, elevated slightly above the rest.

TNGF
SELECTED
King Edmund I
primary
A robust man in his mid-20s with a strong, warrior's build, broad shoulders, and a square jaw. His face is clean-shaven in the Anglo-Saxon fashion, with piercing blue eyes that command attention. His light brown hair is cut short at the sides and slightly longer on top, typical of noblemen of the period.
Leofa
primary
A wiry man of average height with sharp, angular features and dark, unkempt hair that falls just past his ears. His eyes are dark and intense, with deep lines around them suggesting a life of hardship. His hands are calloused, and there's a faint scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone.
Royal Guard
secondary
A burly, middle-aged man with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His muscular build and stern demeanor mark him as a seasoned warrior. His eyes are sharp and alert, scanning the hall for threats.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with a well-groomed beard and short, dark hair streaked with gray. His face is lined with the marks of a life spent both in court and in the field, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both intelligence and alarm. He has a sturdy, though not overly muscular, build, indicative of a man who has seen battle but is more accustomed to the comforts of nobility.
Servant
background
A young male servant, likely in his late teens or early twenties, with a slender build and short, unkempt brown hair. His hands are rough from labor, and his face is pale with shock at the sudden violence unfolding before him.
