== Ground ==

An aerial biome of floating ridges connected by thorn bridges, perpetually swept by stratospheric winds. Gravity is slightly reduced near the verge. Creatures here have hollow bones and wide wingspans to exploit the thermals.

=== Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals ===

These rows are recorded on the B013 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

=== Harvest ===

The harvestable index records counts for biome 013 only: flora 4, ore 3, trees 3, total 10. That index does not name the rows, so those counts are not assigned to names here.

Named flora recorded for Skythorn Verge:

{| class="wikitable"
! ID !! Name !! Harvestable
|-
| FLORA-MARR-013 || Marrowheat || No
|-
| FLORA-SAVA-013 || Savanngrass || Yes
|-
| FLORA-FIRE-013 || Firegrass || No
|-
| FLORA-FLAR-013 || Flarevine || No
|-
| FLORA-EMBE-013 || Ember Shrub || No
|-
| FLORA-SAVA-013 || Savannah Grass || No
|-
| FLORA-HEAT-013 || Heatroot || No
|-
| FLORA-AMBE-013 || Amber Petal Bloom || No
|}

One named flora row is marked harvestable. That does not match the harvestable index count of 4. Duplicate flora ids are left as separate recorded rows. Both figures are left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Marrowheat, Firegrass, Flarevine, Ember Shrub, Savannah Grass, Heatroot, and Amber Petal Bloom.

Not recorded: a named tree list, and a named ore list that matches the index counts of 3 and 3.

|-
| Ground blurb || The Open Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Skythorn Verge's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by warm temperate conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Skythorn Verge would be if the biome could choose to fight.
|}

== Weather ==

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Gale Wind, Thorn Storm, and Sky. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

{| class="wikitable"
! ID !! Name !! Code !! Recorded effect
|-
| WX-013-STORM || Storm || STORM || Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
|-
| WX-013-ASH || Ashfall || ASH || Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Sky Thorn Crystal harvest modified.
|-
| WX-013-SNOW || Cold Event || SNOW || Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
|-
| WX-013-ANY || Any Weather || ANY || Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
|-
| WX-013-RAIN || Rain/Mist || RAIN || Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
|-
| WX-013-CLEAR || Clear Sky || CLEAR || Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.
|}

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 20, Ashfall 10, Cold Event 12, Any Weather 11, Rain/Mist 7, Clear Sky 10. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 2, Clear Sky 0.

== Mobs ==

Eight named mobs are recorded. One further row records 62 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 62 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 21 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero.

|}

The node-network file records a guardian name string on each of these nine nodes. Those strings are not rows in the named mob list above. The biome file, used in this table, records no guardian on the five positive nodes and a guardian present on the four negative nodes. Both records are left as recorded.

== World events ==

Three world events are recorded. Where the duration cell and the notes cell disagree, both figures are left as recorded. The biome-pack names and the world-event master names disagree. Both name sets are left as recorded.

Both wordings are left as recorded.

== Image prompt ==

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B013, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 013 Skythorn Verge, K3V amber light, warm_temperate environment, 0.68g low gravity, Marrowheat Dominion faction territory, AAA game quality, cinematic painterly, panoramic establishing shot, biome landscape at K3V amber light, faction settlement visible, atmosphere establishes biome identity.

Detailed prompt for an image creator: Painterly cinematic establishing shot of Skythorn Verge, biome 013, warm temperate, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. An aerial biome of floating ridges connected by thorn bridges, perpetually swept by stratospheric winds. Gravity is slightly reduced near the verge. Creatures here have hollow bones and wide wingspans to exploit the thermals. Terrain recorded as high wind open grassland. Open grassland under the amber K3V sun. Visibility is high. So is exposure to what hunts you. High Wind Exposure is the recorded primary hazard. Sky Thorn Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: Amber firegrass, black post-burn, vivid amber bloom season. The Marrowheat Dominion settlement Skythorn Settlement is visible, with Apex Nest Cluster and Thorn Bridge Network in the same territory. AAA game concept art, faction territory readable in the architecture, no text in the image.

The image-prompt table also records twenty ungenerated prompts, IMG00241 through IMG00260. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Skythorn Verge, warm temperate biome, [type], open amber savannah, heat shimmer, marrowheat plains, High Wind Exposure environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
