Deep beneath scorched terrain a network of interlocking hollow tunnels forms a labyrinth of cinder and ember. The twining passages are formed by ancient lava tubes that cooled and collapsed partially. Ember beetles the size of horses patrol these tunnels.

Factions present

Faction	Where recorded
F09 Cinderwarden	Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.
F02 Verdania Collective	All seven NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F02 Verdania Collective (7 NPC rows). An NPC can belong to any faction and live or work in a settlement controlled by another faction.

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.

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 079 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 Cindertwine Hollows:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-ASHB-079	Ashbloom	No
FLORA-EMBE-079	Ember Bloom	Yes
FLORA-MAGM-079	Magmaweed	Yes
FLORA-TUNN-079	Tunnel Fern	Yes
FLORA-HEAT-079	Heat-Spine Shrub	No
FLORA-EMBE-079	Ember Reed	Yes
FLORA-VOLC-079	Volcash Fern	No
FLORA-CIND-079	Cinder Bark Tree	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 Ashbloom, Heat-Spine Shrub, Volcash Fern, and Cinder Bark Tree.

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 Cindertwine — Twine Core
Layout	Caldera Core Run
Max players	6
Lockout hours	72
Boss name	Emberhorn — Deep Form
Ground note	The Twine Core 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	Emberhorn, Ancient of Biome 079
Difficulty	T3_Heroic
Recommended party	4
Damage type	Fire
Arena	Cinder Tunnel Maze
Arena description	The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Cindertwine Hollows's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by volcanic igneous 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)	116
Arena terrain	Underground lava tunnels
Arena hazard	Tunnel Collapse
Unique material	Magma Scale
Ground blurb	The Magma Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Cindertwine Hollows's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by volcanic igneous conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Cindertwine Hollows would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Tunnel Wind and Cinder Storm. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-079-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-079-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Ember Tunnel Crystal harvest modified.
WX-079-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-079-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-079-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-079-CLEAR	Clear Sky	CLEAR	Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 16, Ashfall 8, Cold Event 10, Any Weather 17, Rain/Mist 6, Clear Sky 13. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 2, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 1, Clear Sky 2.

Mobs

Seven named mobs are recorded. One further row records 63 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 63 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 16 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Hollowwatcher has archetype Node Guardian but the node-guardian cell reads False. Both are left as recorded.

The node-network file records a guardian name string on each of these nine 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 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.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B079, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 079 Cindertwine Hollows, K3V amber light, volcanic_igneous environment, 0.68g low gravity, Cinderwarden 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 Cindertwine Hollows, biome 079, volcanic igneous, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. Deep beneath scorched terrain a network of interlocking hollow tunnels forms a labyrinth of cinder and ember. The twining passages are formed by ancient lava tubes that cooled and collapsed partially. Ember beetles the size of horses patrol these tunnels. Terrain recorded as underground lava tunnels. A land of fire and ash. Magma veins run beneath the surface. The K3V star paints the constant smoke amber. Tunnel Collapse is the recorded primary hazard. Ember Tunnel Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: obsidian black, embe. The Cinderwarden settlement Cindertwine Settlement is visible, with Cinder Tunnel Maze and Ember 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, IMG01561 through IMG01580. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Cindertwine Hollows, volcanic igneous biome, [type], amber volcanic glow, ash particles, ember light, Tunnel Collapse environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
