Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Elder: A weathered man in his late 70s with deep, sun-creased skin, piercing gray eyes, and thick silver hair swept back from his face. He has a neatly trimmed, full silver beard. He wears a heavy, dark velvet robe layered over a simple white linen shirt. His hands are large, bearing the calluses of a lifetime of work, often adorned with a single heavy silver ring on his right index finger. He stands in a grand, dimly lit ancient library with towering mahogany bookshelves, warm amber candlelight, deep shadows, and dust motes dancing in the air. He exudes an aura of immense calm, authority, and unspoken power.
