"Use the supplied reference images as the exact cartographic blueprint. Recreate the illustrated map with maximum fidelity to the reference artwork. Do not redesign, reinterpret, simplify, rearrange, add, remove, or invent any geographic feature, landmark, settlement, road, river, field, forest, mountain, lake, bridge, structure, symbol, icon, texture, label placement, or decorative element. Carefully reproduce every visible detail from the reference, including the smallest hand-drawn symbols and environmental markings. Preserve the exact relative position, scale, orientation, spacing, density, and hierarchy of all elements.

Cartographic accuracy is the highest priority. Match the original references feature-for-feature. Maintain the exact relationships between forests, mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, agricultural plots, settlements, buildings, roads, bridges, coastlines, cliffs, harbours, watchtowers, temples, villages, ruins, landmarks, and other illustrated locations.

Forests should retain the individual-tree texture and density of the reference. Mountains should use detailed engraved rock formations and directional hatching. Agricultural areas should retain their individual field boundaries and repeated crop-line textures.

Buildings and settlements should remain individually legible rather than becoming abstract symbols. Reproduce all handwritten labels and place names from the reference as accurately as possible, maintaining their approximate typography, scale, orientation, and location. Do not replace labels with invented names. Do not omit difficult-to-read labels; inspect the reference carefully and reproduce the visible lettering faithfully. Preserve the original visual hierarchy: heavily textured natural regions, lighter inhabited/open regions, clearly defined waterways and roads, prominent landmarks, and fine peripheral details. Keep the illustration monochromatic and entirely ink-based. Clean professional finish: crisp high-resolution black linework, consistent ink density, extremely fine details, clean contours, subtle organic imperfections characteristic of hand-drawn cartography, no digital-looking vector smoothness, no colour, no grey wash, no painterly rendering.
