Ground

Where magnetic tides reclaim shattered iron relics of forgotten wars. The shoreline clangs with moving metal fragments drawn by tidal magnetism. Flora here incorporates iron filings into its cellular structure for structural support.

Factions present

Faction	Where recorded
F07 Ironveil Compact	Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. All seven NPC rows.

No other faction is recorded on an Irontide Reaches 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.

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B015 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID	Name	Type	Rarity
SIG-015	Tidal Iron Shard	SIGNATURE	Rare–Legendary
PRI-015	Iron Tide Ore	PRIMARY	Uncommon–Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 015 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 Irontide Reaches:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-IRID-015	Irideshrub	Yes
FLORA-TIDE-015	Tidekelp	Yes
FLORA-IRON-015	Irontide Kelp	No
FLORA-GLIM-015	Glimmer Algae	No
FLORA-SHOR-015	Shore Moss	No
FLORA-SHAR-015	Shard Weed	No — Protected
FLORA-STOR-015	Storm Flower	No
FLORA-SALT-015	Salt Vine	No

Two named flora rows are marked harvestable. That does not match the harvestable index count of 4. Both figures are left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Irontide Kelp, Glimmer Algae, Shore Moss, Shard Weed, Storm Flower, and Salt Vine. The harvestable cell says No on Irontide Kelp, Glimmer Algae, Shore Moss, Storm Flower, and Salt Vine and No — Protected on Shard Weed. Both wordings are left as recorded.

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

Deep zone

Ground note	The Tidal Vault 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	Crystaldune, Ancient of Biome 015
Difficulty	T3_Heroic
Recommended party	4
Damage type	Fire
Arena	Iron Relic Shore
Arena description	The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Irontide Reaches's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by coastal marine 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)	84
Arena terrain	Storm-surge coastline
Arena hazard	Irontide Current Drag
Unique material	Briny Scale
Ground blurb	The Briny Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Irontide Reaches's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by coastal marine conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Irontide Reaches would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Magnetic Storm, Iron Rain, and Salt. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-015-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-015-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Tidal Iron Shard harvest modified.
WX-015-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-015-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-015-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-015-CLEAR	Clear Sky	CLEAR	Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 9, Ashfall 11, Cold Event 15, Any Weather 11, Rain/Mist 8, Clear Sky 16. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 1, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 5, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 4.

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 12 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 five positive nodes and a guardian present on the three 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.

Favor

Irontide Reaches 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: Q0127 → Q0128 → Q0129 → Q0130 → Q0131 → Q0132 → Q0133 → Q0134 → Q0135.
• No faction contests this biome, so favor here is never lost.
• Skipping quests gives no favor.

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 B015, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 015 Irontide Reaches, K3V amber light, coastal_marine 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 Irontide Reaches, biome 015, coastal marine, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. Where magnetic tides reclaim shattered iron relics of forgotten wars. The shoreline clangs with moving metal fragments drawn by tidal magnetism. Flora here incorporates iron filings into its cellular structure for structural support. Terrain recorded as storm-surge coastline, iron-current zone. Tidal rhythms define life here. Salt spray, current patterns, and bioluminescent shorelines. Irontide Current Drag is the recorded primary hazard. Tidal Iron Shard is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: Grey-green storm water, iridescent K3V surface reflection, salt-white rock. The Ironveil Compact settlement Irontide Harbour is visible, with Iron Relic Shore and Magnetic Shelf 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, IMG00281 through IMG00300. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Irontide Reaches, coastal marine biome, [type], tidal spray, iridescent shoreline, amber K3V reflection on water, Irontide Current Drag environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
