Caldera Sanctum Sacred Fortress-City 12000 F09 Cinderwarden
Ember Coil Maze primary N/A F09 Cinderwarden
Magma Shelf secondary N/A F09 Cinderwarden

Factions present

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

No other faction is recorded on an Embercoil Barrens 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: B009 Embercoil Barrens/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B009 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-009 Lava Coil Core SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-009 Embervein Ore PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-009 Scorched Scale SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-IGN Ignite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-SCO Scorchedite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-EMB Ember Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-EMB Embervein Shard Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-MAG Magma Crystal Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 009 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 Embercoil Barrens:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-ASHB-009 Ashbloom No
FLORA-MAGM-009 Magmaweed Yes
FLORA-HEAT-009 Heat-Spine Shrub No
FLORA-EMBE-009 Ember Reed Yes
FLORA-VOLC-009 Volcash Fern No
FLORA-CIND-009 Cinder Bark Tree No
FLORA-THER-009 Thermal Spore Cap No
FLORA-OBSI-009 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.

Deep zone

Field Value
Deep zone Deep Embercoil — Caldera Heart
Layout Lava Chamber Descent
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72

Ground note The Caldera Heart 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 Embercrown Ancient, Ancient of Biome 009
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Void
Arena Ember Coil Maze
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Embercoil Barrens'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) 92
Arena terrain Volcanic slopes and lava fields
Arena hazard Flash Fire Ignition
Unique material Magma Scale
Ground blurb The Magma Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Embercoil Barrens'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 Embercoil Barrens would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Ember Wind, Ash Storm, and Heat. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-009-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-009-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Lava Coil Core harvest modified.
WX-009-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-009-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-009-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-009-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 6, Ashfall 7, Cold Event 11, Any Weather 16, Rain/Mist 14, Clear Sky 16. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 4, Ashfall 4, Cold Event 4, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 5, Clear Sky 3.

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 14 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Embercoil 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-009-01 Cindermaw Swift Scout 93 CR00561 False
MOB-009-02 Scorchhorn Pack Predator 111 CR00562 False

MOB-009-07 Embercoil Node Guardian 200 CR00567 False

Nodes

Nine network nodes are recorded. Three are positive and six are negative. The node profile records dominant NEGATIVE, density high, base respawn 52 minutes, and modifier 1.15x.

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.

ID Biome-pack name Master name Type Duration cell Cooldown cell Broadcast Trigger Notes duration

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B009, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 009 Embercoil Barrens, 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 Embercoil Barrens, biome 009, volcanic igneous, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A volcanic wasteland veined with molten rivers and populated by heat-born serpents and scorched relics. Coils of hardened lava form natural walls and tunnels. The air shimmers at ground level and flash fires ignite without warning. Terrain recorded as volcanic slopes and lava fields. A land of fire and ash. Magma veins run beneath the surface. The K3V star paints the constant smoke amber. Flash Fire Ignition is the recorded primary hazard. Lava Coil Core is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: obsidian black, ember. The Cinderwarden settlement Caldera Sanctum is visible, with Ember Coil Maze and Magma 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, IMG00161 through IMG00180. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Embercoil Barrens, volcanic igneous biome, [type], amber volcanic glow, ash particles, ember light, Flash Fire Ignition environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
