Ground

A crucible-born caldera beneath the world's mantle where stone screams under thermal pressure. The hollow was formed when a planetary core event pushed superheated material through a weak crustal point. The walls still glow. The floor is barely solid.

Factions present

Faction	Where recorded
F09 Cinderwarden	Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.
F07 Ironveil Compact	All seven NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F07 Ironveil Compact (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.

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B100 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID	Name	Type	Rarity

PRI-100	Mantle Core Ore	PRIMARY	Uncommon–Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 100 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 Cruciborne Hollow:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-ASHB-100	Ashbloom	No
FLORA-MAGM-100	Magmaweed	Yes
FLORA-HEAT-100	Heat-Spine Shrub	No
FLORA-EMBE-100	Ember Reed	Yes
FLORA-VOLC-100	Volcash Fern	No
FLORA-CIND-100	Cinder Bark Tree	No
FLORA-THER-100	Thermal Spore Cap	No
FLORA-OBSI-100	Obsidian Creeper	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 Ashbloom, Heat-Spine Shrub, Volcash Fern, Cinder Bark Tree, Thermal Spore Cap, and Obsidian Creeper.

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

Damage type	Arcane
Arena	{'location': 'Mantle Shelf', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Cruciborne Hollow'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': 100, 'special_terrain': 'Near-mantle exposure zone', 'hazard_active': 'Mantle Burns'}
Ground blurb	The Magma Beast the Ancient is the apex expression of Cruciborne Hollow'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 Cruciborne Hollow would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Mantle Wind and Core 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-100-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-100-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Planetary Crystal harvest modified.
WX-100-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-100-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-100-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-100-CLEAR	Clear Sky	CLEAR	Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 13, Ashfall 12, Cold Event 18, Any Weather 7, Rain/Mist 15, Clear Sky 5. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 1, Ashfall 5, Cold Event 0, Any Weather 1, Rain/Mist 6, Clear Sky 1.

Mobs

Five named mobs are recorded. One further row records 65 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 65 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 9 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 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.

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 B100, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 100 Cruciborne Hollow, 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 Cruciborne Hollow, biome 100, volcanic igneous, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A crucible-born caldera beneath the world's mantle where stone screams under thermal pressure. The hollow was formed when a planetary core event pushed superheated material through a weak crustal point. The walls still glow. The floor is barely solid. Terrain recorded as near-mantle exposure zone. A land of fire and ash. Magma veins run beneath the surface. The K3V star paints the constant smoke amber. Mantle Burns is the recorded primary hazard. Planetary Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: obsidian black, ember. The Cinderwarden settlement Cruciborne Settlement is visible, with Crucible Hollow and Mantle 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, IMG01981 through IMG02000. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Cruciborne Hollow, volcanic igneous biome, [type], amber volcanic glow, ash particles, ember light, Mantle Burns environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
