Create an ultra-detailed dark fantasy gothic illustration of an undead vampire king enthroned inside a ruined cathedral throne room. The central figure is a pale, corpse-like monarch with long flowing white hair, glowing red eyes, blood running from the mouth, and a jagged black crown. He wears ornate blackened armor covered in skulls, spikes, chains, red jewels, and torn crimson-black royal robes. He sits arrogantly on a skull-encrusted stone throne, one hand resting on the armrest and the other gripping a long ceremonial sword with a skull pommel, gothic crossguard, red gem, and pale blade. Surround him with exactly 9 clearly visible supernatural figures or creatures: 1 large translucent ghostly warrior hovering behind him with a sword, 1 smaller floating ghost near the moonlit archway, 4 misty human spirits on the stairs and balcony in the midground, 2 armored spectral soldiers at the lower right holding weapons, and 1 snarling ghost wolf in the lower left foreground. Set the scene in a vast black stone cathedral with broken pointed arches, towering columns, candles, chains, cracked steps, skulls, and tattered red banners. Include exactly 3 readable banner or stone inscriptions: left hanging banner says BLOOD BEYOND DEATH, right hanging banner says KINGS DIE BUT LEGENDS HAUNT FOREVER, and the stone block near the lower left says SWORDS REMEMBER WHAT MEN FORGET. Through the huge archway, show a distant spired gothic castle, an arched bridge, flying bats, storm clouds, cold mist, and a huge crimson blood moon. Use cinematic low-angle composition, hyperreal digital painting, intricate concept-art detail, cold blue-gray fog contrasted with deep crimson accents, dramatic moonlight, candle glow, volumetric mist, sharp armor highlights, macabre regal atmosphere, no modern objects, no cartoon style.
