Ground

A humid verdant trap of flora that thrives on both sunlight and prey. Roots pulse beneath the ground, vines reach unbidden and the fog carries the scent of confusion. The vale is a single interconnected organism spread across kilometers of terrain.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Root Pulse Network primary N/A F11 Verdant Deep Covenant
Vine Trap Hollow secondary N/A F11 Verdant Deep Covenant
Thorncradle Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F11 Verdant Deep Covenant

Settlement pages: Root Pulse Network, Thorncradle Settlement, Vine Trap Hollow. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F11 Verdant Deep Covenant Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.
F10 Nightroot Conclave All seven NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F10 Nightroot Conclave (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.

Resources

Full table with IDs and node details: B094 Thorncradle Vale/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B094 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-094 Predator Flora Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-094 Thorn Vale Resin PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-094 Vine Amber SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-VIN Vineite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-THO Thorn Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-VAL Vale Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-VAL Vale Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-VIN Vine Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 094 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 Thorncradle Vale:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-HOLL-094 Hollowbark Yes
FLORA-TWIL-094 Twilightmoss Yes
FLORA-AMBE-094 Amber Canopy Oak No
FLORA-CRIM-094 Crimson Pollen Flower No
FLORA-FORE-094 Forest Fern No
FLORA-HOLL-094 Hollowgleam Tree No
FLORA-PHER-094 Pheromone Vine No
FLORA-WILD-094 Wild Mushroom Colony No

Two 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 Amber Canopy Oak, Crimson Pollen Flower, Forest Fern, Hollowgleam Tree, Pheromone Vine, and Wild Mushroom Colony.

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 Thorncradle — Vale Hollow
Layout Hollow Tree Network
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Thorncradlecoil — Deep Form
Ground note The Vale Hollow 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 Thorncradlecoil, Ancient of Biome 094
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Nature
Arena Root Pulse Network
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Thorncradle Vale's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by temperate forest 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
Arena terrain Predatory flora vale
Arena hazard Flora Predation
Unique material Dusk Scale
Ground blurb The Dusk Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Thorncradle Vale's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by temperate forest conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Thorncradle Vale would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Vine Rain and Predator Mist. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-094-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-094-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Predator Flora Crystal harvest modified.
WX-094-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-094-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-094-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-094-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 13, Ashfall 10, Cold Event 11, Any Weather 12, Rain/Mist 14, Clear Sky 10. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 1, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 1, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 2.

Mobs

Three named mobs are recorded. One further row records 67 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 67 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 15 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero.

ID Name Archetype HP Creature ID Node guardian
MOB-094-01 Thorncradlehorn Large Herbivore 137 CR06511 False
MOB-094-02 Thorncradstalker Ambush Predator 93 CR06512 False
MOB-094-03 Thorncradlecoil Scavenger 83 CR06513 False

Nodes

Ten network nodes are recorded. Six are positive and four are negative. The node profile records dominant POSITIVE, density moderate, base respawn 30 minutes, and modifier 0.85x.

NODE_094_N02 Thorncradle Void Node 2 NEGATIVE Located at the most hazardous point of the primary hazard zone. The primary hazard (Flora Predation) is most intense within 20m of this node. Yes — unresolved token {sig_res} within 40m Present
NODE_094_N03 Thorncradle Void Node 3 NEGATIVE Located beneath the primary ambush predator territory centre. The primary hazard (Flora Predation) 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 ten nodes. Those strings are not rows in the named mob list above. The biome file, used in this table, records no guardian on the six positive nodes and a guardian present on the four 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.

  • No faction contests this biome, so favor here is never lost.
  • Skipping quests gives no favor.

Both wordings are left as recorded.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B094, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 094 Thorncradle Vale, K3V amber light, temperate_forest environment, 0.68g low gravity, Verdant Deep Covenant 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 Thorncradle Vale, biome 094, temperate forest, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A humid verdant trap of flora that thrives on both sunlight and prey. Roots pulse beneath the ground, vines reach unbidden and the fog carries the scent of confusion. The vale is a single interconnected organism spread across kilometers of terrain. Terrain recorded as predatory flora vale. Four seasons transform this land. Spring growth, summer canopy, autumn decay, winter silence. Flora Predation is the recorded primary hazard. Predator Flora Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: Seasonal amber-green summer, crimson-gold autumn, grey-white winter. The Verdant Deep Covenant settlement Thorncradle Settlement is visible, with Root Pulse Network and Vine Trap 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, IMG01861 through IMG01880. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Thorncradle Vale, temperate forest biome, [type], amber-lit woodland, seasonal foliage, dappled light, Flora Predation environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
