Ground

A diseased basin of fumes where a collapsed ancient node leaks corrupting energy through glacial cracks. The ice here is black-veined and the mist causes rapid cellular decay in unprotected travelers. Blight-adapted fauna roam in clusters.

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B016 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 016 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 Blightmist Crater:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-ICEW-016	Icewort	Yes
FLORA-GLAC-016	Glacialbloom	Yes
FLORA-ICE -016	Ice Crystal Moss	No
FLORA-BLIG-016	Blight Lichen	No
FLORA-GLAC-016	Glacial Spore	No
FLORA-FROS-016	Frost Crystal Plant	No
FLORA-CAVE-016	Cave Liverwort	No
FLORA-ICE -016	Ice Algae	Yes

Three named flora rows are marked harvestable. That does not match the harvestable index count of 4. Duplicate flora ids are left as separate recorded rows. Both figures are left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Ice Crystal Moss, Blight Lichen, Glacial Spore, Frost Crystal Plant, and Cave Liverwort.

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

Damage type	Physical
Arena	{'location': 'Black Vein Fields', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Blightmist Crater's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by polar glacial 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': 108, 'special_terrain': 'Blight-corrupted glacier crater', 'hazard_active': 'Blight Corruption'}
Ground blurb	The Arctic Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Blightmist Crater's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by polar glacial conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Blightmist Crater would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Blight Mist, Corruption Rain, and Void. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-016-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-016-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Void Mist Resin harvest modified.
WX-016-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-016-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-016-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-016-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 13, Cold Event 14, Any Weather 10, Rain/Mist 13, Clear Sky 11. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 1, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 3, Any Weather 1, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 1.

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 10 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Gloomclaw 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 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 two 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 B016, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 016 Blightmist Crater, K3V amber light, polar_glacial environment, 0.68g low gravity, Frosthold Vigil 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 Blightmist Crater, biome 016, polar glacial, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A diseased basin of fumes where a collapsed ancient node leaks corrupting energy through glacial cracks. The ice here is black-veined and the mist causes rapid cellular decay in unprotected travelers. Blight-adapted fauna roam in clusters. Terrain recorded as blight-corrupted glacier crater. Deep ice, ancient and slow-moving. Creatures here evolved over millions of years for the cold. Blight Corruption is the recorded primary hazard. Void Mist Resin is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: ice-blue,. The Frosthold Vigil settlement Blightmist Settlement is visible, with Black Vein Fields and Blight 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, IMG00301 through IMG00320. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Blightmist Crater, polar glacial biome, [type], ancient ice, void darkness, amber star distant, Blight Corruption environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
