## Prompt

```text
Create a richly detailed square fantasy illustration in the style of a vintage engraved storybook plate with hand-colored ink washes. In the foreground, show {character_name} from the chest up, positioned left of center, with {hair_color}, strong brows, tan skin, and an upward, contemplative gaze toward the starry sky. He wears a rough medieval cloak in {cloak_color} over a pale hooded tunic or scarf, with heavy cross-hatching, etched shadows, and textured fabric folds. Behind him, create a vast nocturnal medieval city of tightly packed steep-roofed houses, narrow towers, chimneys, and tiny glowing amber windows. On the right side of the horizon, make an immense Gothic cathedral-castle rise above the city, with many spires, flying buttress-like details, needle towers, and warm lights in selected windows. The sky is deep indigo-black and filled with exactly 25 prominent golden eight-point stars of varied sizes plus dense tiny speckled starlight; place a large full moon in the upper left, cream colored and cratered. Add moody blue-gray clouds behind the cathedral and along the skyline. Include a stone parapet or wall along the lower right foreground to suggest the traveler is standing on a high overlook. Use a limited palette of midnight blue, ochre gold, sepia brown, cream, and muted gray, with dramatic moonlit rim light, old-world romantic fantasy atmosphere, meticulous linework, visible paper grain, no modern objects, no text, no watermark.
```
