The Unbroken Crown
Jacob LS3 for Commander Tegual (Tee-ghal)
Knight of King Rowan’s court, and an old friend of the king when they were young. He is of common blood but brought up within the palace courts, wherein he was given a squireship and eventually knighted for his deeds to the realm. Rowan outdid his father’s knighting by placing the common-born Tegual in the seat of Commander for the King’s Forces- the largest portion of the standing military of Ustral. He has a mildly jovial nature, doesn’t always read situations correctly for the moment. Serious but also comedic.
(Joking, though inappropriate for the moment) Sure is a jolly lot in life, isn’t it? Beautiful women, grand tales of my adventures, and all of the death a single man can stomach… Shoulda listened to me mam, she set me straight enough when I was young.
(serious, cynical) I joke to hide what I cannot fathom. You fathom what I cannot joke about. How interesting our paths in life have become, and how terrifying they continue to be.
Nice audition! I like the sort of lackadaisical tone in the first line. Well done!
Thanks, I enjoyed doing it.
