Medieval epic narrator: Declan

Medieval epic narrator, iron, grand, and elegiac

Prompt: A grand, weathered male medieval-epic-narrator voice that chronicles knights, kingdoms, and the weight of the crown. His deep, resonant baritone narrates chivalry, war, and betrayal with iron grandeur, treating the age of steel as tragedy on a national scale. There's mailed-fist gravity and elegiac nobility in his tone. The voice of the medieval epic. They swore oaths on cold steel and warm blood. In the end, the oaths would matter more than the kingdom—and cost far more.

Script: In that age, a man was only as good as his word. They swore their oaths on cold steel and warm blood, before God and King and the assembled lords. And those oaths were not the pretty promises of a softer time. They were chains, sacred, unbreakable, and heavier than any armor.
