Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
A dark, gritty training yard at night. Silhouetted figures are seen in the distance, engaged in rigorous combat training under the orange glow of flickering torches. In the foreground, a heavy iron mace leans against a stone pillar. Sparks fly in the background from a blacksmith's forge. The mood is one of intense preparation and the forging of character through hardship. Deep shadows and warm orange highlights contrast with olive backgrounds.
