Art style: Dark Gothic Fantasy.
A sharp, polished steel blade is shown mid-swing, cleanly severing a thick, frayed hemp rope stretched taut across a wooden block. Fibers fly into the air, caught in a frozen moment of action. The background is a dark, minimalist forge with glowing embers in the distance. Steel silver, warm orange, and deep black tones.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Dark Gothic Fantasy" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Gothic Fantasy". 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 "Dark Gothic Fantasy" idiom, not in any other medium.
