Ground

A volatile biome where fierce storms rage incessantly across a fractured landscape. The storms are not meteorological but magical in origin. Ancient storm-callers once lived here and their uncontrolled energy still cycles endlessly through the region.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Eye of the Tempest primary N/A F12 Soulglass Circle
Storm Hollow secondary N/A F12 Soulglass Circle
Veil Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F12 Soulglass Circle

Settlement pages: Eye of the Tempest, Storm Hollow, Veil Settlement. Settlement rows on the faction civilization table for this biome also have pages: Tempest Monitor. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F12 Soulglass Circle Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. Seven NPC rows (NPC0770 to NPC0776).
F08 Frosthold Vigil Seven of the fourteen NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F08 Frosthold Vigil (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 F06 Cogmist Engineers a foothold here, so the biome is contested.

Resources

Full table with IDs and node details: B059 Veil of Tempests/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B059 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-059 Arcane Storm Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-059 Tempest Stone PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-059 Storm Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-STO Stormite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-ARC Arcane Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-TEM Tempest Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-STO Storm Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-ARC Arcane Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 059 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 Veil of Tempests:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-AETH-059 Aethermoss Yes
FLORA-STOR-059 Storm Fern Yes
FLORA-TEMP-059 Tempest Bloom Yes
FLORA-VOID-059 Voidbloom Yes
FLORA-HARM-059 Harmonic Crystal Plant No
FLORA-ARCA-059 Arcane Moss No
FLORA-PRIS-059 Prism Fern No
FLORA-COGR-059 Cogrim Orchid No

Four named flora rows are marked harvestable. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Harmonic Crystal Plant, Arcane Moss, Prism Fern, and Cogrim Orchid.

Not recorded: a named tree list, and a named ore list that matches the index counts of 3 and 3.

Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Veil of Tempests's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by arcane anomaly 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 Arcane lightning veil zone
Arena hazard Arcane Lightning Strike
Unique material Reality Scale
Ground blurb The Reality Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Veil of Tempests's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by arcane anomaly conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Veil of Tempests would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Arcane Storm 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-059-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-059-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Arcane Storm Crystal harvest modified.
WX-059-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-059-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-059-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-059-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 15, Cold Event 11, Any Weather 16, Rain/Mist 10, Clear Sky 7. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 3, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 2.

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 16 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Tempestwatcher has archetype Node Guardian but the node-guardian cell reads False. Both are left as recorded.

The node-network file records a guardian name string on each of these sixteen nodes. Those strings are not rows in the named mob list above. The biome file, used in this table, records no guardian on the eight positive nodes and a guardian present on the eight negative nodes. Both records are left as recorded.

World events

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B059, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 059 Veil of Tempests, K3V amber light, arcane_anomaly environment, 0.68g low gravity, Soulglass Circle 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 Veil of Tempests, biome 059, arcane anomaly, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A volatile biome where fierce storms rage incessantly across a fractured landscape. The storms are not meteorological but magical in origin. Ancient storm-callers once lived here and their uncontrolled energy still cycles endlessly through the region. Terrain recorded as arcane lightning veil zone. Reality bends. Geometry is unreliable. Arcane energy surges without warning. Arcane Lightning Strike is the recorded primary hazard. Arcane Storm Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: violet, prismatic, sil. The Soulglass Circle settlement Veil Settlement is visible, with Eye of the Tempest 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, IMG01161 through IMG01180. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Veil of Tempests, arcane anomaly biome, [type], reality distortion, arcane energy surges, amber and void contrast, Arcane Lightning Strike environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
