Ground

A vast desert biome where the sun blazes high casting the land in deep crimson through iron oxide dust suspended in the atmosphere. The mirages here are not optical illusions but partial manifestations of alternate desert timelines.

Settlements

Crimson Settlement	Faction Outpost	1500	F13 Marrowheat Dominion
Iron Hollow	secondary	N/A	F13 Marrowheat Dominion
Temporal Mirage Fields	primary	N/A	F13 Marrowheat Dominion

Factions present

Faction	Where recorded
F13 Marrowheat Dominion	Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. Seven NPC rows (NPC0749 to NPC0755).
F03 Skyreach Covenant	Seven of the fourteen NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F03 Skyreach Covenant (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 B062 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID	Name	Type	Rarity
SIG-062	Temporal Amber	SIGNATURE	Rare–Legendary
PRI-062	Mirage Crystal	PRIMARY	Uncommon–Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 062 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 Crimson Mirage:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-ASHS-062	Ashshrub	Yes
FLORA-CRIM-062	Crimson Bloom	Yes
FLORA-DESE-062	Desert Fern	Yes
FLORA-SAND-062	Sandbloom	Yes
FLORA-CIND-062	Cinderbloom Crystal Plant	Yes
FLORA-THOR-062	Thornscale Bush	No
FLORA-SCOR-062	Scorchglass Weed	No — Protected
FLORA-DUST-062	Dust-Root Binder	No — Protected

Five 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, and Dust-Root Binder. The harvestable cell says No on Thornscale Bush 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.

Deep zone

Field	Value
Deep zone	Deep Crimson — Mirage Underlayer
Layout	Sand Vault Network
Max players	6
Lockout hours	72
Boss name	Deserthorn — Deep Form
Ground note	The Mirage Underlayer 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	Deserthorn, Ancient of Biome 062
Difficulty	T3_Heroic
Recommended party	4
Damage type	Void
Arena	{'location': 'Temporal Mirage Fields', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Crimson Mirage'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': 'Heat shimmer arid plain with temporal anomalies', 'hazard_active': 'Temporal Displacement'}
Ground blurb	The Scorch Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Crimson Mirage'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 Crimson Mirage would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

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

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-062-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-062-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Temporal Amber harvest modified.
WX-062-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-062-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-062-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-062-CLEAR	Clear Sky	CLEAR	Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 17, Ashfall 9, Cold Event 10, Any Weather 14, Rain/Mist 14, Clear Sky 6. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 0, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 3, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 0.

Mobs

Six named mobs are recorded. One further row records 64 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 64 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 13 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Miragewatcher has archetype Node Guardian but the node-guardian cell reads False. Both are left as recorded.

ID	Name	Archetype	HP	Creature ID	Node guardian
MOB-062-01	Miragescale	Swift Scout	59	CR04271	False
MOB-062-02	Desertmane	Pack Predator	82	CR04272	False

MOB-062-06	Miragewatcher	Node Guardian	133	CR04276	False

Nodes

Nine network nodes are recorded. Four are positive and five are negative. The node profile records dominant NEGATIVE, density moderate, base respawn 76 minutes, and modifier 0.85x.

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 B062, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 062 Crimson Mirage, 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 Crimson Mirage, biome 062, subtropical arid, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A vast desert biome where the sun blazes high casting the land in deep crimson through iron oxide dust suspended in the atmosphere. The mirages here are not optical illusions but partial manifestations of alternate desert timelines. Terrain recorded as heat shimmer arid plain with temporal anomalies. Scorched earth and ashfall. Wind carries grit that strips skin. Rare blooms emerge after ashfalls. Temporal Displacement is the recorded primary hazard. Temporal Amber is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: Pale ash-white, ochre rock, scorchglass amber, void-dark node sites. The Marrowheat Dominion settlement Crimson Settlement is visible, with Iron Hollow and Temporal Mirage Fields 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, IMG01221 through IMG01240. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Crimson Mirage, subtropical arid biome, [type], scorched amber plains, ashfall dust, K3V sun, Temporal Displacement environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
