## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical anime-style fantasy archaeology illustration of {character_name} sitting cross-legged in the foreground of an abandoned ancient library-temple at night, viewed from a slightly high angle. The scene contains exactly 1 seated explorer with tousled dark teal hair and a softly blurred/obscured face, wearing a tan expedition jacket, cream shirt, suspenders, fingerless gloves, dark trousers, and boots; exactly 1 large parchment map spread on a cracked stone table in front of him, covered with faint circular diagrams, runes, symbols, and route markings; exactly 1 glowing brass oil lantern on the right edge of the table; exactly 1 leather satchel beside the lantern; exactly 1 pale animal skull on the left side of the table; exactly 2 leaning bookcases along the side walls; and scattered old books, papers, rubble, vines, and broken masonry around the room. Behind him, a huge arched window with broken panes opens onto a moonlit ruined city of towering pale stone structures, shattered columns, ornate ancient architecture, and overgrown vegetation, with a small moon in a deep teal sky. Use a mysterious lost-civilization mood, {civilization_style}, detailed hand-drawn linework, painterly cel-shaded anime rendering, muted teal, turquoise, ochre, and warm lamplight palette, cinematic depth, intricate ruins, dust, cracks, ivy, and dramatic contrast between cool moonlight outside and warm lantern light on the map. Aspect ratio 9:16, highly detailed, no modern objects, no readable modern text, no watermark.
