Art style: photorealistic cinematic live-action, Netflix Witcher-style dark fantasy, gritty realism, natural volumetric lighting, fog and haze, shallow depth of field, film grain, desaturated moody color grade. Cinematic close shot of the hooded messenger standing in three-quarter turn, face fully hidden in deep shadow under a heavy dark hood (a faint hint of jaw in darkness, never a hollow black void). He extends one gloved hand forward, offering a folded parchment letter sealed with black wax bearing a cracked-crown emblem — the sealed letter is the sharp focal point in the foreground, held out toward the viewer. He wears a heavy travel-worn dark cloak. Setting: the ruined stone village camp of the Legion at night — roofless fieldstone cottages, collapsed walls, low campfires glowing warm in the background out of focus. A large bright FULL MOON in a clear night sky casts cold blue-silver light across wet stone, mixing with warm firelight. Volumetric fog, drifting smoke, desaturated teal-grey moody grade, shallow depth of field, film grain. Photorealistic cinematic dark fantasy, Netflix Witcher-style, gritty realism. Negative: no daylight, no dawn, no morning — night with full moon; no empty black void under hood, no faceless hollow, no fully frontal face — face hidden naturally by angle and shadow; no intact palace, this is a ruined village camp. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "photorealistic cinematic live-action, Netflix Witcher-style dark fantasy, gritty realism, natural volumetric lighting, fog and haze, shallow depth of field, film grain, desaturated moody color grade" style.
