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 medium shot of a chaotic Legion retreat across the churned muddy battlefield at cold blue-grey dawn. THREE Obsidian Legion soldiers sharp and detailed in the foreground, moving past the camera, caught from behind as they retreat — we see their backs: blackened rough leather armor with dark iron plate inserts across the shoulders, iron rivets, hoods up over full-face iron masks, frayed dark grey cloaks swaying, teardrop shields with faded blood-red rune (#6B0000) slung on their backs, short swords and spears carried low. Filthy with mud and ash, heavily worn. All around and beyond them, OUT-OF-FOCUS blurred silhouettes of other retreating soldiers stream away into thick volumetric fog. In the hazy distance ahead, the ruined stone village they retreat toward; the fortress wall looms behind. Cold blue-grey dawn 5-6 AM after rain, deep mud, drifting smoke, desaturated teal-grey grade, shallow depth of field, film grain, handheld. Photorealistic cinematic dark fantasy, Netflix Witcher-style, gritty realism. Negative: no clear faces in the background crowd, no clean armor, no polished metal, no ragged peasants, no bare heads, no arrows in flight, no bright colors. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
