## Prompt

```text
Create a richly detailed 1990s Sierra adventure game style pixel-art scene of a {castle_type} at night, viewed from across a calm lake. The castle is large and storybook-like, with white stone walls, red steep roofs, half-timbered upper floors, multiple cylindrical towers and turrets, crenellated ramparts, a glowing arched gate, and warm yellow light shining from many small windows. A narrow stone bridge crosses the water to the entrance on the left side of the castle. Set the scene in a deep cobalt-blue moonlit landscape with a bright full moon in the upper left sky, scattered stars, soft layered clouds, dark pine forest silhouettes, distant mountain peaks, rocky lake edges, and a few tall evergreens framing the left and right sides. The lake should dominate the foreground, reflecting the entire castle, moonlight, bridge, windows, and towers in shimmering horizontal pixelated ripples. Add small glowing fireflies around the lakeshore and over the water. Use a nostalgic VGA pixel-art aesthetic inspired by classic Sierra point-and-click adventure games, with crisp dithering, limited but vibrant blue-purple palette, luminous highlights, high contrast, painterly pixel clusters, romantic fantasy atmosphere, and no modern UI or text.
```
