SELECTED
Brian Boru
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 50s with a commanding presence. His weathered face bears the marks of many battles, with deep-set blue eyes that gleam with intelligence. His long, reddish-brown hair is streaked with gray, tied back with a leather cord, and his thick beard shows signs of age. His muscular frame is still formidable despite his years.
Irish Commander
secondary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a muscular build, weathered skin from years of campaigning, and a thick red beard streaked with grey. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield constantly. A deep scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Viking Warrior
secondary
A burly Norse fighter in his late 30s, standing over 6 feet tall with a muscular build honed by years of raiding. His face is weathered with a broken nose and a long, jagged scar running from his left temple to jawline. His wild, reddish-blond beard is braided with bone beads, and his ice-blue eyes burn with battle fury.
Irish Warrior
background

Dialog
Brian Boru
Mo chara, the Norsemen push hard through the eastern wood. Their axes bite deep, but the land favors us still.
Irish Commander
Aye, my king. Their flank falters where the ground dips. Let the fian strike there—twice over, like hounds on a stag!
Viking Warrior
Til Valhall, cowards! Your High King hides while men die!
Brian Boru
Sound the horns for Murchad’s reserve. The wolf must be met tooth for tooth ere sunset.
Irish Commander
Horns! Now! And tell the archers—loose when the wind stills, not before.
Viking Warrior
Skít! Their spears come like winter’s teeth!
Brian Boru
The Morrígan smiles upon us. Today, Glenmama becomes their grave-mound.
