TNGF
SELECTED
King Edmund I
primary
A broad-shouldered man of 25 years with a warrior's build, his face bearing the marks of battles past—a faint scar above his right eyebrow and a strong jawline. His dark blond hair is neatly trimmed, framing piercing blue eyes that convey both authority and a measured wariness. His hands are calloused from swordplay, resting firmly on the table.
Leofa
primary
A wiry, sinewy man in his late thirties with sunken cheeks and a permanent scowl. His dark hair is cropped short, and his beard is unkempt. His hands are calloused, and his knuckles show old scars from past brawls. His eyes dart nervously but with purpose.
Ealdorman
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with a sturdy frame, broad shoulders, and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with grey. His face bears the weathered lines of a man accustomed to both courtly life and battlefield command, with keen blue eyes that miss little.
Guard
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered warrior in his late twenties, with a weathered face and a closely cropped beard. His arms are thick with muscle from years of wielding weapons, and his piercing blue eyes scan the hall with practiced vigilance.
Servant
background
A young adult servant, likely in their early twenties, with a slender but wiry build from years of labor. Their face is slightly weathered from outdoor work, with deep-set eyes and short, dark hair that is neatly trimmed. Their hands are calloused, a testament to their daily toil.
Dialog
King Edmund I
The hall hums like a hive, Ealdorman, yet I sense the sting comes not from the bees.
Ealdorman
If it pleases my lord, perhaps we might walk the perimeter—these rushes hide more than herbs tonight.
Leofa
Aye, let him drink deep... deeper still when iron kisses ribs.
King Edmund I
We shall not scurry like mice before shadows. A king stands where his throne is—be it stone or straw.
Leofa
Stand then, oath-breaker. Stand for death.
Ealdorman
Shields! To your king!
King Edmund I
So falls the boar upon the spear...
