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. A churned muddy battlefield sloping away from a towering wet black fortress wall toward a distant ruined stone village of roofless cottages and collapsed walls, all half-lost in cold blue-grey dawn fog. Medium-wide tracking composition at chest height, camera behind and to the side of the retreating figures, shallow depth of field. Foreground center: two dark Legion silhouettes struggle rearward through deep mud, each with an arm hooked under the shoulders of a third wounded comrade slumped between them, boots dragging, the wounded man's head hanging, legs trailing furrows in the mire. Their posture is heavy, exhausted, leaning forward against the pull of the mud. Midground: a streaming mass of retreating Legion silhouettes, all facing away from the wall toward the village, hunched, moving at a broken jog, some limping, shields slung on backs, spears trailing low. Background: the ruined village emerges from the fog with faint amber campfire glow among the rubble, and above and behind everything the immense black wall fades into grey haze. Lighting: cold blue-grey pre-dawn, sun below horizon, flat low-contrast, no direct beams, the only warmth the distant faint amber of village fires. Mood: bitter exhausted retreat, endurance without panic, grim resignation. Colors: desaturated teal-grey shadows, muddy ochre earth dominating, faint blood-red rune accents on shoulders and a slung shield, distant cold blue-grey Imperial banner on the wall. Textures: thick sucking mud, wet leather and iron catching dull light, damp fog. Depth layers: struggling trio foreground, streaming retreat midground, fogged village and wall background. Weather: heavy volumetric fog, hanging drizzle mist, mud spray. Micro-details: mud sucking at boots with visible pull, steam of labored breath in cold air, ripples in water-filled bootprints, a dropped helmet half-sunk in the mire. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
