	Detailed prompt for an image creator: Painterly cinematic establishing shot of Vast Wilds, biome 042, temperate forest, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. An untamed expansive biome where rolling hills meet dense forests and megafauna roam unchecked. The wilds have no defined territory boundaries creating a complex shifting ecosystem. Apex predators from adjacent biomes contest control seasonally. Terrain recorded as megafauna-inhabited vast wilderness. Four seasons transform this land. Spring growth, summer canopy, autumn decay, winter silence. Megafauna Stampede is the recorded primary hazard. Wilds Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: Seasonal amber-green summer, crimson-gold autumn, grey-white winter. The ~~Verdant Deep Covenant~~ settlement Vast Settlement is visible, with Deep Wild Hollow and Open Plains in the same territory. AAA game concept art, faction territory readable in the architecture, no text in the image.
