B021 Frostthorn Caldera

Field Value
BiomeID 021
Biome name Frostthorn Caldera
Climate POLAR_GLACIAL
Difficulty 8
Starting control F08 Frosthold Vigil
Primary hazard Thermal Shock
Signature resource Thermal Amber
MysteryZone False
Continent CONT_FROSTMERE
Region Frostmere — Eastern Rim
Elevation_m 1500
Status LIVE_CANON
Source LIVE/DATA/biome_registry_v5.7.4.json

Ground

A glacial sink of frozen thorns and thermal ruptures where fire sleeps beneath frost. The caldera floor alternates between freezing marsh and sudden steam vents. Creatures have evolved thermal regulation bypasses and live at the transition zones.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Frostthorn Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F08 Frosthold Vigil
Frost Thorn Fields primary N/A F08 Frosthold Vigil
Steam Vent Hollow secondary N/A F08 Frosthold Vigil

Settlement pages: Frost Thorn Fields, Frostthorn Settlement, Steam Vent Hollow. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
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 Frostthorn Caldera 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

Full table with IDs and node details: B021 Frostthorn Caldera/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B021 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-021 Thermal Amber SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-021 Frost Thorn Crystal PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-021 Caldera Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-ICE Ice Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-FRO Frostite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-THE Thermal Stone Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-FRO Frost Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-CAL Caldera Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 021 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 Frostthorn Caldera:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-ICEW-021 Icewort Yes
FLORA-GLAC-021 Glacialbloom Yes
FLORA-ICE -021 Ice Crystal Moss No
FLORA-BLIG-021 Blight Lichen No
FLORA-GLAC-021 Glacial Spore No
FLORA-FROS-021 Frost Crystal Plant No
FLORA-CAVE-021 Cave Liverwort No
FLORA-ICE -021 Ice Algae Yes

Three named flora rows are 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 Ice Crystal Moss, Blight Lichen, Glacial Spore, Frost Crystal Plant, and Cave Liverwort.

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

Deep zone

Field Value
Deep zone Deep Frostthorn — Caldera Ice Base
Layout Ice Cave Run
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Icefang — Deep Form
Ground note The Caldera Ice Base has never been accessible to surface explorers. The Deep Zone system reveals what the biome contains at its most dangerous depth.

Boss

Field Value
Boss Icefang, Ancient of Biome 021
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Physical
Arena Frost Thorn Fields
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Frostthorn Caldera's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by polar glacial conditions — no neutral ground exists. In 0.68g, player jump arcs extend 47% further than Earth-equivalent, and boss knockback sends players 35% further than expected.
Arena size (m) 124
Arena terrain Thermal shock caldera
Arena hazard Thermal Shock
Unique material Arctic Scale
Ground blurb The Arctic Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Frostthorn Caldera'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 Frostthorn Caldera would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

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

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-021-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-021-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Thermal Amber harvest modified.
WX-021-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-021-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-021-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-021-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 11, Ashfall 11, Cold Event 11, Any Weather 12, Rain/Mist 7, Clear Sky 18. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 2, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 3, 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 15 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero.

ID Name Archetype HP Creature ID Node guardian
MOB-021-01 Frosthorn Large Herbivore 111 CR01401 False
MOB-021-02 Glacialmane Swift Scout 63 CR01402 False
MOB-021-03 Iceclaw Pack Predator 76 CR01403 False
MOB-021-04 Frostscale Ambush Predator 70 CR01404 False
MOB-021-05 Glacialstalker Elemental Creature 80 CR01405 False
MOB-021-06 Icefang Ancient Walker 157 CR01406 False
MOB-021-07 Frostwatcher Scavenger 81 CR01407 False
MOB-021-08 Glacialcoil Node Guardian 122 CR01408 True

Nodes

Eight network nodes are recorded. Two are positive and six are negative. The node profile records dominant NEGATIVE, density low, base respawn 420 minutes, and modifier 1.75x.

ID Name Type Location Signature resource growth Guardian
NODE_021_P01 Frostthorn Primary Anchor POSITIVE Located at the summit of the primary terrain feature, where K3V light exposure is maximum. Within the Frost Thorn Fields zone. No None
NODE_021_P02 Frostthorn Light Node 2 POSITIVE Located within the main resource cluster, feeding crystal growth. Within the Steam Vent Hollow zone. No None
NODE_021_N01 Frostthorn Void Node 1 NEGATIVE Located in the deepest depression of the biome's terrain, where void energy pools. The primary hazard (Thermal Shock) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present
NODE_021_N02 Frostthorn Void Node 2 NEGATIVE Located at the most hazardous point of the primary hazard zone. The primary hazard (Thermal Shock) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present
NODE_021_N03 Frostthorn Void Node 3 NEGATIVE Located beneath the primary ambush predator territory centre. The primary hazard (Thermal Shock) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present
NODE_021_N04 Frostthorn Void Node 4 NEGATIVE Located at the outer boundary of the biome, where it transitions to adjacent terrain. The primary hazard (Thermal Shock) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present
NODE_021_N05 Frostthorn Void Node 5 NEGATIVE Located within the node guardian's primary patrol circuit centre. The primary hazard (Thermal Shock) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present
NODE_021_N06 Frostthorn Void Node 6 NEGATIVE Located at the lowest point of any geological feature — voids sink. The primary hazard (Thermal Shock) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present

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.

ID Biome-pack name Master name Type Duration cell Cooldown cell Broadcast Trigger Notes duration

WE0319 Thermal Rupture Frostthorn C Major Transformation Event Major Transformation 0min 0hr TRUE WORLD_STATE 3-8 hours real-time

WE0317 notes: Thermal Amber nodes restricted, hazard blocks access during the event. Resource bonus on that row is FALSE. Affects territory is FALSE. Spawn override on that row is ANCIENT_WALKER. WE0318 notes: Thermal Amber nodes surge, triple yield during the event. Resource bonus on that row is TRUE. Affects territory is FALSE. Spawn override on that row is ANCIENT_WALKER. WE0319 notes: Thermal Amber nodes restricted, hazard blocks access during the event. Resource bonus on that row is FALSE. Affects territory is TRUE. Spawn override on that row is NODE_GUARDIAN_ELITE. Biome state change recorded as Frostthorn Caldera_STATE_ALTERED.

Quests

Nine quests are recorded for this biome. Listed as id, title, layer, and giver id only. No quest prose is added here.

Favor

Frostthorn Caldera has its own favor track. It is separate from faction reputation and does not change the ending.

  • Biome-line quests: 9. Each one gives +10 favor.
  • Finish all 9 to become Favored here (+20 bonus). Highest favor: 110.
  • Chain order: Q0181 → Q0182 → Q0183 → Q0184 → Q0185 → Q0186 → Q0187 → Q0188 → Q0189.
  • No faction contests this biome, so favor here is never lost.
  • Skipping quests gives no favor.

NPCs

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B021, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 021 Frostthorn Caldera, 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 Frostthorn Caldera, biome 021, polar glacial, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A glacial sink of frozen thorns and thermal ruptures where fire sleeps beneath frost. The caldera floor alternates between freezing marsh and sudden steam vents. Creatures have evolved thermal regulation bypasses and live at the transition zones. Terrain recorded as thermal shock caldera. Deep ice, ancient and slow-moving. Creatures here evolved over millions of years for the cold. Thermal Shock is the recorded primary hazard. Thermal Amber is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: ice-blue, white, pale. The Frosthold Vigil settlement Frostthorn Settlement is visible, with Frost Thorn Fields and Steam Vent Hollow 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, IMG00401 through IMG00420. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Frostthorn Caldera, polar glacial biome, [type], ancient ice, void darkness, amber star distant, Thermal Shock environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
