Ground

A twisted overgrown canyonland where thorns feast on ruins and coil around all signs of life. The canyon walls are entirely consumed by bramble structures that grow and retract according to unseen triggers. Ancient stonework bleeds through the vines.

Settlements

Name	Type	Population	Controlling faction

Settlement pages: Bramble Canyon Maze, Bramblecoil Settlement, Ruin Hollow. Settlement rows on the faction civilization table for this biome also have pages: Emberdrift Post. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction	Where recorded
F13 Marrowheat Dominion	Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.
F05 Riftwalker Brotherhood	All seven NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F05 Riftwalker Brotherhood (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. The faction table also gives F01 Ashen League a foothold here, so the biome is contested.

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B017 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID	Name	Type	Rarity

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 017 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 Bramblecoil Wastes:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-SAND-017	Sandbloom	Yes
FLORA-ASHS-017	Ashshrub	Yes
FLORA-CIND-017	Cinderbloom Crystal Plant	Yes
FLORA-THOR-017	Thornscale Bush	No
FLORA-SCOR-017	Scorchglass Weed	No — Protected
FLORA-DUST-017	Dust-Root Binder	No — Protected
FLORA-ARID-017	Arid Bloom	No
FLORA-ASHF-017	Ashfang Tree	No

Three 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 Thornscale Bush, Scorchglass Weed, Dust-Root Binder, Arid Bloom, and Ashfang Tree. The harvestable cell says No on Thornscale Bush, Arid Bloom, and Ashfang Tree and No — Protected on Scorchglass Weed and Dust-Root Binder. 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.

Arena	{'location': 'Bramble Canyon Maze', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Bramblecoil Wastes'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': 76, 'special_terrain': 'Thorn-covered arid wastes', 'hazard_active': 'Thorn Entanglement'}
Ground blurb	The Scorch Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Bramblecoil Wastes'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 Bramblecoil Wastes would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Thorn Gale, Bramble Storm, and Dry. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-017-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-017-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Coil Crystal harvest modified.
WX-017-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-017-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-017-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-017-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 6, Cold Event 14, Any Weather 15, Rain/Mist 10, Clear Sky 12. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 3, Rain/Mist 1, Clear Sky 3.

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 11 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 four 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.

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 B017, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 017 Bramblecoil Wastes, K3V amber light, subtropical_arid environment, 0.68g low gravity, Marrowheat Dominion 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 Bramblecoil Wastes, biome 017, subtropical arid, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A twisted overgrown canyonland where thorns feast on ruins and coil around all signs of life. The canyon walls are entirely consumed by bramble structures that grow and retract according to unseen triggers. Ancient stonework bleeds through the vines. Terrain recorded as thorn-covered arid wastes. Scorched earth and ashfall. Wind carries grit that strips skin. Rare blooms emerge after ashfalls. Thorn Entanglement is the recorded primary hazard. Coil Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: ochre, burnt sienna, as. The Marrowheat Dominion settlement Bramblecoil Settlement is visible, with Bramble Canyon Maze and Ruin 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, IMG00321 through IMG00340. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Bramblecoil Wastes, subtropical arid biome, [type], scorched amber plains, ashfall dust, K3V sun, Thorn Entanglement environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
