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. The faction table also gives [[F08 Frosthold Vigil]] a foothold here, so the biome is contested.

=== Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals ===
 
These rows are recorded on the B071 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

=== Harvest ===
 
The harvestable index records counts for biome 071 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 Stormshroud Highlands:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! ID !! Name !! Harvestable
|-
| FLORA-FROS-071 || Frostgrass || Yes
|-
| FLORA-SNOW-071 || Snowbloom || Yes
|-
| FLORA-ICE--071 || Ice-Fern || No
|-
| FLORA-MURK-071 || Murk Lichen || No
|-
| FLORA-FROS-071 || Frost Moss || No
|-
| FLORA-PERM-071 || Permafrost Spike || No
|-
| FLORA-ICE -071 || Ice Cap Flower || No
|-
| FLORA-WINT-071 || Winter Grass || No
|}
 
Two 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-Fern, Murk Lichen, Frost Moss, Permafrost Spike, Ice Cap Flower, and Winter Grass.
 
Not recorded: a named tree list, and a named ore list that matches the index counts of 3 and 3.

== Weather ==
The atmosphere row records weather patterns Highland Storm and Cloud Rain. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.
{| class="wikitable"
! ID !! Name !! Code !! Recorded effect
|-
| WX-071-STORM || Storm || STORM || Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
|-
| WX-071-ASH || Ashfall || ASH || Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Highland Amber harvest modified.
|-
| WX-071-SNOW || Cold Event || SNOW || Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
|-
| WX-071-ANY || Any Weather || ANY || Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
|-
| WX-071-RAIN || Rain/Mist || RAIN || Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
|-
| WX-071-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 12, Cold Event 19, Any Weather 8, Rain/Mist 14, Clear Sky 6. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 1, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 4, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 1, Clear Sky 1.
== Mobs ==
Four named mobs are recorded. One further row records 66 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 66 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 11 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero.
{| class="wikitable"

| MOB-071-04 || Stormshroudcoil || Scavenger || 87 || CR04904 || False
|}
== Nodes ==
Eight network nodes are recorded. Three are positive and five are negative. The node profile records dominant NEGATIVE, density moderate, base respawn 174 minutes, and modifier 1.45x.
{| class="wikitable"
! ID !! Name !! Type !! Location !! Signature resource growth !! Guardian
|-

|-
| NODE_071_N02 || Stormshroud Void Node 2 || NEGATIVE || Located at the most hazardous point of the primary hazard zone. The primary hazard (Lightning Strike) is most intense within 20m of this node. || Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m || Present
|-
| NODE_071_N03 || Stormshroud Void Node 3 || NEGATIVE || Located beneath the primary ambush predator territory centre. The primary hazard (Lightning Strike) 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 three positive nodes and a guardian present on the five 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.
{| class="wikitable"

== Favor ==
 
Stormshroud Highlands has its own [[Biome Favor|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: [[Q0631 The Stormshroud Toll|Q0631]] → [[Q0632 Stormshroud Watch|Q0632]] → [[Q0633 Stormshroud Vault Count|Q0633]] → [[Q0634 The Ice-Well Fracture — Stormshroud Highlands|Q0634]] → [[Q0635 Highland Amber for the Verdant Deep Covenant|Q0635]] → [[Q0636 Strike Season — Stormshroud Highlands|Q0636]] → [[Q0637 What the Stormshroud Vault Hums|Q0637]] → [[Q0638 After the Ice-Well Draw — Stormshroud Highlands|Q0638]] → [[Q0639 Verdant Deep Covenant on the Stormshroud Line|Q0639]].
* Favor is lost: −5 for each quest done for [[F08 Frosthold Vigil]] outside this biome. That faction contests this biome. Quests in this biome never cost favor here.
* Skipping quests gives no favor.

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B071, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.
 
Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 071 Stormshroud Highlands, K3V amber light, subpolar_cold environment, 0.68g low gravity, Ironveil Compact 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 Stormshroud Highlands, biome 071, subpolar cold, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A mountainous biome where thick clouds perpetually swirl at mid-elevation creating an eternal rainstorm on the lower slopes and clear arctic conditions above. Creatures have evolved to migrate vertically between the two zones seasonally. Terrain recorded as constant lightning storm shroud. Ice-edged highlands and wind-carved stone. The amber sun gives little warmth here. Lightning Strike is the recorded primary hazard. Highland Amber is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: steel blue, dark pin. The Ironveil Compact settlement Stormshroud Settlement is visible, with Cloud Hollow and Rainline 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, IMG01401 through IMG01420. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Stormshroud Highlands, subpolar cold biome, [type], amber tundra, ice-edged stone, cold wind haze, Lightning Strike environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.

Ground

A mountainous biome where thick clouds perpetually swirl at mid-elevation creating an eternal rainstorm on the lower slopes and clear arctic conditions above. Creatures have evolved to migrate vertically between the two zones seasonally.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Stormshroud Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F07 Ironveil Compact
Cloud Hollow secondary N/A F07 Ironveil Compact
Rainline primary N/A F07 Ironveil Compact

Settlement pages: Cloud Hollow, Rainline, Stormshroud Settlement. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F07 Ironveil Compact Starting control. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. All seven NPC rows.
F08 Frosthold Vigil Contested. The faction table gives it a foothold here.

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. The faction table also gives F08 Frosthold Vigil a foothold here, so the biome is contested.

Resources

Full table with IDs and node details: B071 Stormshroud/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B071 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-071 Highland Amber SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-071 Stormshroud Crystal PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-071 Cloud Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-STO Stormite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-HIG Highland Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-CLO Cloud Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-STO Storm Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-HIG Highland Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 071 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 Stormshroud Highlands:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-FROS-071 Frostgrass Yes
FLORA-SNOW-071 Snowbloom Yes
FLORA-ICE--071 Ice-Fern No
FLORA-MURK-071 Murk Lichen No
FLORA-FROS-071 Frost Moss No
FLORA-PERM-071 Permafrost Spike No
FLORA-ICE -071 Ice Cap Flower No
FLORA-WINT-071 Winter Grass No

Two 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-Fern, Murk Lichen, Frost Moss, Permafrost Spike, Ice Cap Flower, and Winter Grass.

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

Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Stormshroud Highlands's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by subpolar cold 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) 108
Arena terrain Constant lightning storm shroud
Arena hazard Lightning Strike
Unique material Bleak Scale
Ground blurb The Bleak Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Stormshroud Highlands's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by subpolar cold conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Stormshroud Highlands would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Highland Storm and Cloud Rain. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect

WX-071-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Highland Amber harvest modified.
WX-071-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-071-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-071-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.

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 three positive nodes and a guardian present on the five 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.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B071, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 071 Stormshroud Highlands, K3V amber light, subpolar_cold environment, 0.68g low gravity, Ironveil Compact 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 Stormshroud Highlands, biome 071, subpolar cold, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A mountainous biome where thick clouds perpetually swirl at mid-elevation creating an eternal rainstorm on the lower slopes and clear arctic conditions above. Creatures have evolved to migrate vertically between the two zones seasonally. Terrain recorded as constant lightning storm shroud. Ice-edged highlands and wind-carved stone. The amber sun gives little warmth here. Lightning Strike is the recorded primary hazard. Highland Amber is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: steel blue, dark pin. The Ironveil Compact settlement Stormshroud Settlement is visible, with Cloud Hollow and Rainline 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, IMG01401 through IMG01420. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Stormshroud Highlands, subpolar cold biome, [type], amber tundra, ice-edged stone, cold wind haze, Lightning Strike environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
