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 tattered military banner sagging in heavy fog above a muddy trench line at gray dawn. FOREGROUND: slightly out of focus, the rough splintered top of a wooden pole leaning at a tired angle, bound with fraying cord. MIDGROUND: the Legion's banner itself hangs limp and heavy with damp, mud-spattered and torn along its lower edge, several ragged rents letting the pale sky through, its once-dark fabric dulled to a lifeless gray-black, no wind to lift it, only the slow weight of moisture pulling it down. BACKGROUND: the misted trench line below with vague hunched shapes of resting men and thin rising smoke from a dying fire, all softened into cold haze, and beyond, the barely visible dark mass of the distant fortress wall. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: medium shot, low angle looking up at the drooping banner against a flat pale sky, shallow depth of field isolating the torn cloth. LIGHTING: cold diffused overcast dawn light, flat and directionless, pale and mournful, no warm accents. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: melancholic, defeated, the quiet emblem of a landless homeless mercenary company, symbolic exhaustion. COLORS: dull gray-black cloth, mud browns, cold grays, desaturated steel-blue, pale bone-white sky. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: heavy damp woven fabric, frayed torn threads, splintered weathered wood of the pole, crusted dried mud speckling the cloth, wet cord binding. DEPTH & LAYERS: soft pole-top foreground, sharp sagging banner midground, hazy trench and fortress background. WEATHER & PARTICLES: thick low fog drifting past the banner, fine moisture beading on the fabric, thin smoke rising in the distance, cold damp air. MICRO-DETAILS: water droplets clinging along the torn hem, a single loose thread swaying almost imperceptibly, mud flecks crusted into the weave, the faint sheen of dampness across the cloth. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
