Death of King Edmund I

Death of King Edmund I

King Edmund I of England is suddenly stabbed by the outlaw Leofa during a feast in his royal hall, shocking the assembled nobles and guards.

Setting

The royal hall in Pucklechurch, a grand wooden structure with a high ceiling supported by massive oak beams. The hall is filled with long wooden tables and benches, adorned with tapestries depicting battles and religious scenes. The hearth at the center roars with a large fire, casting flickering shadows on the walls.

TNGF
SELECTED
King Edmund I
primary
A young but battle-hardened king in his early twenties, with a strong warrior's build. His face bears the marks of combat—a faint scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone. His dark brown hair is cut short in the Saxon style, and his piercing blue eyes command attention. His hands, though royal, are calloused from swordplay.
Leofa
primary
A gaunt, wiry man in his late 30s with sunken cheeks and a wild, unkempt beard streaked with grey. His deep-set eyes burn with a feral intensity, and a long scar runs from his left temple to his jawline. His hands are calloused and rough, bearing the marks of years spent in exile.
Thegn
secondary
A battle-hardened nobleman in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of warfare. His face bears the marks of combat—a faded scar running from left temple to jawline, and a broken nose that healed crooked. His thick beard is kept short for practical reasons, and his piercing blue eyes scan the room with veteran awareness.
Guard Captain
secondary
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His short, dark brown hair is slightly greying at the temples, and his piercing blue eyes scan the room with practiced vigilance. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons.
Servant
background
A young male servant, likely in his late teens, with a slim build and short, tousled brown hair. His face is clean-shaven, and his wide, dark eyes reflect sheer terror. His hands are rough from labor, and his posture is one of sudden, frozen shock.
