== Ground ==

A frozen desolate biome where the wind howls relentlessly across an ice plain veined with glowing blue mineral deposits. The veins pulse with geothermal energy keeping the ice soft enough for burrowing fauna to excavate warrens beneath.

== Settlements ==

|-
| [[F08 Frosthold Vigil]] || Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. All seven NPC rows.
|}

No other faction is recorded on a Frostvein Tundra NPC row or settlement row.

The faction named as starting control in the header holds the biome at the start. Control can change during play, and quests follow whoever controls the biome at the time.

== Resources ==

* Ancient Glacier Shard (Frost) (GATHERABLE, Common)
* Blizzard Ore (Frost) (GATHERABLE, Common)
* Frostfall Crystal (Frost) (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
* Frostv Glacial Core (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)

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

These rows are recorded on the B036 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

=== Harvest ===

The harvestable index records counts for biome 036 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 Frostvein Tundra:

{| class="wikitable"
! ID !! Name !! Harvestable
|-
| FLORA-FROS-036 || Frost Bloom || Yes
|-
| FLORA-GLAC-036 || Glacialbloom || Yes
|-
| FLORA-ICEW-036 || Icewort || Yes
|-
| FLORA-TUND-036 || Tundra Moss || Yes
|-
| FLORA-ICE -036 || Ice Crystal Moss || No
|-
| FLORA-BLIG-036 || Blight Lichen || No
|-
| FLORA-GLAC-036 || Glacial Spore || No
|-
| FLORA-FROS-036 || Frost Crystal Plant || No
|}

Four named flora rows are marked harvestable. Duplicate flora ids are left as separate recorded rows. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Ice Crystal Moss, Blight Lichen, Glacial Spore, and Frost Crystal Plant.

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

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

== Weather ==

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Blizzard, Frost Wind, and Ice Mist. 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-036-STORM || Storm || STORM || Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
|-
| WX-036-ASH || Ashfall || ASH || Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Glacial Blue Amber harvest modified.
|-
| WX-036-SNOW || Cold Event || SNOW || Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
|-
| WX-036-ANY || Any Weather || ANY || Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
|-
| WX-036-RAIN || Rain/Mist || RAIN || Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
|-
| WX-036-CLEAR || Clear Sky || CLEAR || Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.
|}

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 12, Ashfall 13, Cold Event 16, Any Weather 7, Rain/Mist 11, Clear Sky 11. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 2, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 1, Rain/Mist 4, Clear Sky 3.

== 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 9 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 eight nodes. Those strings are not rows in the named mob list above. The biome file, used in this table, records no guardian on the two positive nodes and a guardian present on the six 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.

== Recipes ==

Sixteen recipes are recorded, one for each item above. Output quantity is 1. The third material cell is blank on every row, so no third material is listed. Recipe unlock cells use T1 Known, T2 Trusted, T3 Honoured, and T4 Honoured. The faction reputation row names those bands T1 Neutral, T2 Friendly, T3 Honoured, and T4 Revered. Both wordings are left as recorded.

== Image prompt ==

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B036, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 036 Frostvein Tundra, K3V amber light, polar_glacial environment, 0.68g low gravity, Frosthold Vigil 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 Frostvein Tundra, biome 036, polar glacial, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A frozen desolate biome where the wind howls relentlessly across an ice plain veined with glowing blue mineral deposits. The veins pulse with geothermal energy keeping the ice soft enough for burrowing fauna to excavate warrens beneath. Terrain recorded as deep ice tundra, Frosthold Vigil territory. Deep ice, ancient and slow-moving. Creatures here evolved over millions of years for the cold. Frostbite is the recorded primary hazard. Glacial Blue Amber is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: ice-blue, white, pale g. The Frosthold Vigil settlement Vigil Keep is visible, with Frost Vein Fields and Ice Warren 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, IMG00701 through IMG00720. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Frostvein Tundra, polar glacial biome, [type], ancient ice, void darkness, amber star distant, Frostbite environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
