B001 Ashplain Expanse
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| BiomeID | 001 |
| Biome name | Ashplain Expanse |
| Climate | SUBTROPICAL_ARID |
| Difficulty | 3 |
| Starting control | F01 Ashen League |
| Primary hazard | Suffocating Ashfall |
| Signature resource | Cinderbloom Crystal |
| MysteryZone | False |
| Continent | CONT_ASHARA |
| Region | Ashara — Ashcrown Southern Lowlands |
| Elevation_m | 180 |

Ground
A vast scorched wasteland swept by ember winds where ash settles like grey snow. Skeletal trees claw at a perpetually smog-choked sky. Temperatures spike violently with each ashfall, and the ground cracks under thermal pressure.
Settlements
| Name | Type | Population | Controlling faction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ashara's Maw | Capital City | 45000 | F01 Ashen League |
| Scorch Root Vale | primary | N/A | F01 Ashen League |
| Searforge Ruins | secondary | N/A | F01 Ashen League |
Settlement pages: Ashara's Maw, Scorch Root Vale, Searforge Ruins. All settlements: Settlements.
Factions present
| Faction | Where recorded |
|---|---|
| F01 Ashen League | Starting control. Home faction on the biome record. Every recorded settlement and every faction NPC recorded in Ashplain Expanse. Asher NPC0777 has no faction. |
No other faction is recorded on an Ashplain Expanse 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: B001 Ashplain Expanse/Resources.
- Ancient Ashgrit (GATHERABLE, Legendary)
- Ashpla Ashgrit (GATHERABLE, Common)
- Ashpla Sandite Crystal (GATHERABLE, Rare)
- Ashpla Thorncore (GATHERABLE, Common)
- Dune Salt (Ashpl) (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
- Dustbloom (Ashpl) (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
- Refined Ashfall Sediment (GATHERABLE, Common)
- Refined Ashgrit (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
- Refined Sandite Crystal (GATHERABLE, Common)
- Refined Scorched Bone (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
- Scorchite (Ashpl) (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
- Sunbaked Clay (Ashpl) (GATHERABLE, Common)
Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals
These rows are recorded on the B001 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.
| ID | Name | Type | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIG-001 | Cinderbloom Crystal | SIGNATURE | Rare–Legendary |
| PRI-001 | Glasssteel Shard | PRIMARY | Uncommon–Rare |
| SEC-001 | Ashfang Bark | SECONDARY | Common–Uncommon |
| MIN-COM-IRO | Ironite | Common Mineral | Common |
| MIN-COM-CHA | Charcoal Slate | Common Mineral | Common |
| MIN-RARE-EMB | Embervein Ore | Rare Mineral | Rare |
| MIN-RARE-GLA | Glassteel Vein | Rare Mineral | Rare |
Harvest
The harvestable index records counts for biome 001 only: flora 4, ore 3, trees 3, total 10. That index does not name the rows, so those three counts are not assigned to names here.
Named flora recorded for Ashplain Expanse:
| ID | Name | Harvestable |
|---|---|---|
| FLORA-ASHS-001 | Ashshrub | Yes |
| FLORA-ASHW-001 | Ashwillow | Yes |
| FLORA-CIND-001 | Cindergrass | Yes |
| FLORA-SAND-001 | Sandbloom | Yes |
| FLORA-CIND-001 | Cinderbloom Crystal Plant | Yes |
| FLORA-THOR-001 | Thornscale Bush | No |
| FLORA-SCOR-001 | Scorchglass Weed | No — Protected |
| FLORA-DUST-001 | Dust-Root Binder | No — Protected |
Five flora rows are marked harvestable. That does not match the harvestable index count of 4. Both figures are left as recorded.
Not recorded: a named tree list, and a named ore list that matches the index counts of 3 and 3. Species and mob rows are not added on this page.
Deep zone
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Deep zone | Deep Ashplain — Ash Wound |

Boss

|---|---|
| Boss | Grimscorch, Ancient of Biome 001 |
| Difficulty | T3_Heroic |

| Arena description | The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Ashplain Expanse's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by subtropical arid 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 |

| Ground blurb | The Scorch Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Ashplain Expanse's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by subtropical arid conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Ashplain Expanse would be if the biome could choose to fight. |

- Chain order: Q0001 → Q0002 → Q0003 → Q0004 → Q0005 → Q0006 → Q0007 → Q0008 → Q0009.
- No faction contests this biome, so favor here is never lost.
- Skipping quests gives no favor.

Image prompt
Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B001, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.
Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 001 Ashplain Expanse, K3V amber light, subtropical_arid environment, 0.68g low gravity, Ashen League 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 Ashplain Expanse, biome 001, subtropical arid, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A vast scorched wasteland swept by ember winds where ash settles like grey snow. Skeletal trees claw at a perpetually smog-choked sky. Temperatures spike with each ashfall and the ground cracks under thermal pressure. Suffocating Ashfall fills the air with grit. Rare Cinderbloom Crystal stands as the signature resource, a crystalline plant-mineral. The Ashen League settlement Ashara's Maw is visible on the flat ash plain, with Scorch Root Vale and Searforge Ruins 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, IMG00001 through IMG00020.
