Ground

A volatile biome where constant storms and violent winds tear through a deep geological rift. The rift acts as a wind tunnel amplifying storms to catastrophic levels. Only specifically adapted creatures can survive the baseline wind speeds here.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Tempest Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED)
Rift Wind Tunnel primary N/A Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED)
Storm Hollow secondary N/A Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED)

Settlement pages: Rift Wind Tunnel, Storm Hollow, Tempest Settlement. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F05 Riftwalker Brotherhood Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row, shown there as vanished. All eight NPC rows.

No other faction is recorded on a Tempest Rift 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.

The stored faction key "Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED)" is kept as written in the tables above. The VANISHED label refers to the 18 original researchers of the Brotherhood, who departed about 200 years ago. Outsiders call the 18 the Vanished. Current members of the Brotherhood call them the Ascended. Both are true depending on who is speaking. The 7 Brotherhood NPC rows recorded here are current members, still present on the planet. NPC0726 is a historical departed row, one of the 18.

Resources

Full table with IDs and node details: B073 Tempest Rift/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B073 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-073 Storm Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-073 Fissure Crystal PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-073 Refract Stone SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-TEC Tectonic Shard Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-VOI Void Crystal Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-RIF Rift Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-TEM Tempest Voidshard Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-BRO Brotherhood Resonite Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 073 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 Tempest Rift:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-CRYS-073 Crystalweed Yes
FLORA-TECT-073 Tectonmoss Yes
FLORA-TEMP-073 Tempest Fern Yes
FLORA-CRYS-073 Crystal Weed No — Protected
FLORA-TECT-073 Tectomoss No
FLORA-RIFT-073 Rift Spore No
FLORA-SPIN-073 Spine Grass No
FLORA-FISS-073 Fissure Bloom No

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 Crystal Weed, Tectomoss, Rift Spore, Spine Grass, and Fissure Bloom. The harvestable cell says No — Protected on Crystal Weed and No on Tectomoss, Rift Spore, Spine Grass, and Fissure Bloom. 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 Tempest — Tempest Core
Layout Void Fissure Network
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Riftwatcher — Deep Form
Ground note The Tempest Core 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 Riftwatcher, Ancient of Biome 073
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Sonic
Arena Rift Wind Tunnel
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Tempest Rift's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by rift tectonic 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) 124
Arena terrain Tectonic wind shear canyon
Arena hazard Wind Shear Injuries
Unique material Fault Scale
Ground blurb The Fault Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Tempest Rift's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by rift tectonic conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Tempest Rift would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Catastrophic Wind and Tempest Rain. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-073-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-073-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Storm Crystal harvest modified.
WX-073-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-073-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-073-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-073-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 10, Ashfall 9, Cold Event 12, Any Weather 15, Rain/Mist 10, Clear Sky 14. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 3, Ashfall 1, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 0, Clear Sky 5.

Mobs

Four named mobs are recorded. One further row records 66 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 66 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 8 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Riftwatcher 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-073-01 Tempesthorn Large Herbivore 138 CR05041 False
MOB-073-02 Tempeststalker Ambush Predator 104 CR05042 False
MOB-073-03 Tempestcoil Scavenger 97 CR05043 False
MOB-073-04 Riftwatcher Node Guardian 176 CR05044 False

Nodes

Eleven network nodes are recorded. Four are positive and seven are negative. The node profile records dominant NEGATIVE, density very_high, base respawn 52 minutes, and modifier 1.75x.

NODE_073_N07 Tempest Void Node 7 NEGATIVE Located where the primary hazard is most intense — negative nodes amplify hazards. The primary hazard (Wind Shear Injuries) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present

The node-network file records a guardian name string on each of these eleven 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 seven 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
WE0217 Storm Season Tempest Rift Environmental Event Environmental 30min 8hr FALSE TIME_CYCLE 45-90 minutes real-time

Quests

Nine quests are recorded for this biome. Listed as id, title, layer, and giver id only. No quest prose is added here.

Favor

Tempest Rift has its own favor track. It is separate from faction reputation and does not change the ending.

  • Biome-line quests: 9. Each one gives +10 favor.
  • Finish all 9 to become Favored here (+20 bonus). Highest favor: 110.
  • Chain order: Q0649 → Q0650 → Q0651 → Q0652 → Q0653 → Q0654 → Q0655 → Q0656 → Q0657.
  • No faction contests this biome, so favor here is never lost.
  • Skipping quests gives no favor.

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 B073, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 073 Tempest Rift, K3V amber light, rift_tectonic environment, 0.68g low gravity, Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED) 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 Tempest Rift, biome 073, rift tectonic, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A volatile biome where constant storms and violent winds tear through a deep geological rift. The rift acts as a wind tunnel amplifying storms to catastrophic levels. Only specifically adapted creatures can survive the baseline wind speeds here. Terrain recorded as tectonic wind shear canyon. Unstable ground. Crystal formations erupt and collapse. The fissures pulse with residual tectonic energy. Wind Shear Injuries is the recorded primary hazard. Storm Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: fractured. The Riftwalker Brotherhood settlement Tempest Settlement is visible, with Rift Wind Tunnel and Storm 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, IMG01441 through IMG01460. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Tempest Rift, rift tectonic biome, [type], crystal formations, tectonic rifts, amber energy pulses, Wind Shear Injuries environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
