Ground

A battle-scarred mesa scorched by centuries of volcanic activity and ancient conflict. Hardened lava walls form natural bastions. The ash layers here contain weapons and armor from forgotten wars fused into the rock by heat.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Cinderdrift Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F01 Ashen League
Ancient Bastion Wall primary N/A F01 Ashen League
War Hollow secondary N/A F01 Ashen League

Settlement pages: Ancient Bastion Wall, Cinderdrift Settlement, War Hollow. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F01 Ashen League 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 F09 Cinderwarden a foothold here, so the biome is contested.

Resources

Full table with IDs and node details: B084 Cinderdrift Bastion/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B084 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-084 War Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-084 Bastion Ore PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-084 Ash Weapon Fragment SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-BAS Bastionite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-WAR War Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-ASH Ash Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-WAR War Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-ASH Ash Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 084 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 Cinderdrift Bastion:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-ASHB-084 Ashbloom No
FLORA-MAGM-084 Magmaweed Yes
FLORA-HEAT-084 Heat-Spine Shrub No
FLORA-EMBE-084 Ember Reed Yes
FLORA-VOLC-084 Volcash Fern No
FLORA-CIND-084 Cinder Bark Tree No
FLORA-THER-084 Thermal Spore Cap No
FLORA-OBSI-084 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 Cinderdrift — Bastion Core
Layout Magma Vault Network
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Warhorn — Deep Form
Ground note The Bastion 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 Warhorn, Ancient of Biome 084
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Arcane
Arena Ancient Bastion Wall
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Cinderdrift Bastion'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) 116
Arena terrain Constant ash drift plains
Arena hazard Ash Fall
Unique material Magma Scale
Ground blurb The Magma Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Cinderdrift Bastion'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 Cinderdrift Bastion would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Ash Wind, Cinder 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-084-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-084-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. War Crystal harvest modified.
WX-084-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-084-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-084-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-084-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 11, Ashfall 11, Cold Event 11, Any Weather 14, Rain/Mist 8, Clear Sky 15. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 3, Ashfall 0, Cold Event 4, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 1, Clear Sky 4.

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 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.

Quests

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

Favor

Cinderdrift Bastion 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: Q0748 → Q0749 → Q0750 → Q0751 → Q0752 → Q0753 → Q0754 → Q0755 → Q0756.
  • Favor is lost: −5 for each quest done for F09 Cinderwarden outside this biome. That faction contests this biome. Quests in this biome never cost favor here.
  • Skipping quests gives no favor.

NPCs

Seven NPCs are recorded with location Cinderdrift Bastion. Sex, age, items held, kinship, and the quests-given cell are blank on those rows. Quest giver ids above come from the quest table, not from the quests-given cell.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B084, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 084 Cinderdrift Bastion, K3V amber light, volcanic_igneous environment, 0.68g low gravity, Ashen League 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 Cinderdrift Bastion, biome 084, volcanic igneous, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A battle-scarred mesa scorched by centuries of volcanic activity and ancient conflict. Hardened lava walls form natural bastions. The ash layers here contain weapons and armor from forgotten wars fused into the rock by heat. Terrain recorded as constant ash drift plains. A land of fire and ash. Magma veins run beneath the surface. The K3V star paints the constant smoke amber. Ash Fall is the recorded primary hazard. War Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: obsidian black, embe. The Ashen League settlement Cinderdrift Settlement is visible, with Ancient Bastion Wall and War 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, IMG01661 through IMG01680. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Cinderdrift Bastion, volcanic igneous biome, [type], amber volcanic glow, ash particles, ember light, Ash Fall environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
