Art style: Cinematic Realistic. At the foot of a colossal frozen citadel in Northrend, an immense glacial plateau stretches across the frame beneath jagged ice spires that rise like shattered cathedral towers into a storm-choked sky. The setting is a blizzard-lashed wasteland of polished blue-white ice, wind-carved ridges, frozen crevasses, and ancient steps leading upward toward the distant Frozen Throne, barely visible through veils of snow. Compose the image as an extreme wide establishing shot from a low angle in vertical 9:16 framing, making the towering ice architecture feel overwhelming and mythic while the two figures appear small but fateful within the landscape. In the lower foreground, rough ice crust and snowdrifts are broken by dragged sword marks etched across the surface, while shards of brittle frost catch dim light. In the midground, Arthas ascends the frozen incline with deliberate purpose, his sword dragging behind him and carving a luminous scar into the ice. Opposite him, Illidan has just landed on the plateau, wings expanded in a predatory silhouette, body angled forward as if interrupting destiny itself. The lighting is dominated by cold moonlit blue filtered through storm clouds, mixed with intermittent green fel glow reflecting from Illidan’s side, creating a stark dual-color conflict across the ice. The mood is apocalyptic, tense, and ceremonial, as if the world itself is holding its breath before a final reckoning. Use a palette of glacial blue, steel gray, pale cyan, black shadow, and toxic green accents only. Surfaces should emphasize cracked ice, wind-scoured snow, weathered metal, frosted stone, and sharp crystalline formations. Build strong depth layers: foreground snow gusts and fractured ice edges; midground duelists on the plateau; background monumental ice spires, storm clouds, and faint throne silhouette. Weather effects must include dense blowing snow, fine ice dust, and suspended frost particles lit by side light. Add micro-details such as Arthas’s sword trail shaving up tiny curls of ice, loose snow spiraling around Illidan’s feet from the force of his landing, frost rimming stone steps, small reflective melt-sheen patches on compressed ice, and distant cracks glowing faintly beneath the surface. The atmosphere should suggest ancient power, fatal inevitability, and the first heartbeat before violence erupts. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
