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. Epic wide establishing shot of a colossal imperial fortress-citadel rising on a dark ridge at cold blue-grey dawn. Forty-meter walls of wet black granite, slick with rain, tiers of massive drum-towers and battlements, sharp spires and keeps stacked upward, enormous iron-banded gates, tattered dark banners hanging still. The fortress dominates the frame, immense and oppressive, wreathed in drifting volumetric fog and low cloud, faint torchlight glowing deep in arrow-slits. A vast empty churned-mud plain in the foreground, no soldiers, no figures — utterly still and desolate before the storm. Cold pre-dawn light, sun still below the horizon, low contrast, heavy haze, desaturated teal-grey moody grade, film grain, immense sense of scale and dread. Photorealistic cinematic dark fantasy, Netflix Witcher-style, gritty realism, ultra-detailed masonry. Negative: no soldiers, no people, no figures, no ladders, no army, no combat, no crowd, no bright colors, no clean or fantasy-castle look — a brutal, wet, dark, oppressive real fortress. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
