{"prompt":"A cinematic wide shot inside a vast, ancient Namekian Hall of Knowledge, resembling a grand Viking longhouse fused with gothic cathedral architecture, featuring towering stone arches, intricate carvings, and high, leaded glass windows through which golden sunlight streams, illuminating dust motes. Green-skinned, muscular Namekian humanoids, with sharp facial features and pointed ears, fill the hall. They are dressed in elaborate Viking-style clothing: thick fur cloaks, finely crafted leather armor, metallic belts, and horned helmets, yet their attire subtly suggests scholarly pursuit and leadership rather than battle.In the foreground, a diverse group of young Namekian scholars intensely studies ancient, glowing scrolls and interacts with holographic projections of complex scientific diagrams and economic models, their green skin catching the golden light. One Namekian, with a determined expression, gestures towards a large, illuminated world map, indicating global challenges and connections. In the midground, a wise, older Namekian mentor, wearing a more ornate, flowing fur cloak, oversees a cluster of students operating intricate, glowing technological instruments, their faces alight with discovery and innovation. In the background, Namekian figures gather around stone tables, debating earnestly over legal texts and geopolitical strategies, representing law and political science.The overall mood is epic, hopeful, and determined, capturing the essence of global leadership, academic excellence, and international impact. Cinematic lighting casts long shadows and highlights the vibrant green skin of the Namekians. Soft, glowing green auras subtly emanate from their hands as they engage with the knowledge and technology. The atmosphere is thick with ancient wisdom and future potential. Dynamic angle, slightly elevated, emphasizing the depth and collaborative activity of the scene. Ultra-detailed, fantasy art style.
