Warm parchment with a vignette and grain, thin dark-brown engravings (clock faces, rose windows, arcades, compass geometry) that draw themselves stroke by stroke, Cinzel all-caps headlines with one deep-red accent word, radiating sunburst rays behind the hero, HUD-style corner metadata with an era counter and a red progress rule, and a dark opening scene with a golden glowing title.",

  "guide": "- Parchment is a radial gradient #eee3c8 → #e2d1ad → #c9b28a with a brown vignette and an feTurbulence grain layer (multiply, ~0.3 opacity). Cold opens are #140d06 with a gold #f6d38a title and stacked orange text-shadows.\n- Headlines: Cinzel 700 uppercase, 74–150px, tracking 0.08em, one short line in ink #2a1d12 plus one accent word in red #a3221b. Rise 26px while tracking tightens, 0.9s power3.out.\n- Illustrations are inline SVG engravings in #3b2a1a, 1.2–2.4px strokes with pathLength=1; draw rings first, then detail, with power2.inOut over 0.9–1.6s and small staggers. Fill colour (red/blue) only after the strokes finish, at ~0.8 opacity.\n- Put a 96-ray sunburst (#6b4a26 at 0.13 opacity) behind the hero and rotate it linearly a few degrees per plate; keep hands, counters or rays moving so nothing is static.\n- Keep a HUD frame on every parchment plate: 30px corner brackets 40px in, IBM Plex Mono labels (chapter top-left, series top-right, era bottom-left, plate bottom-right) and a 640px red progress rule that fills linearly across the piece.\n- Use one big red Cinzel year (≈400px) that ticks between dates while an engraving draws over it. Avoid modern sans type, pure white and saturated colour beyond the single red."
