Ground

A sinking bogland where glacial runoff collects in acidic pools and frost-laced marshes. Ice-crusted reeds rattle in the cold wind. Predators lurk below the semi-frozen surface. The ground shifts beneath every step.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Murkfrost Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F08 Frosthold Vigil
Frost Pool Network primary N/A F08 Frosthold Vigil
Sinking Hollow secondary N/A F08 Frosthold Vigil

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F08 Frosthold Vigil Starting control. Home faction on the biome record. Every recorded settlement and every recorded NPC in Murkfrost Mire.

No other faction is recorded on a Murkfrost Mire 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

  • Ancient Frost Crystal (GATHERABLE, Legendary)
  • Cold Iron (Murkf) (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Ice Shard (Murkf) (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Murkfr Frost Crystal (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Murkfr Icewort Fiber (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Murkfr Murkvine Bark (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Permafrost Clay (Murkf) (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B006 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-006 Glacial Amber SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-006 Murkfrost Crystal PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-006 Bogwood Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-BOG Bog Iron Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-FRO Frost Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-ICE Ice Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-GLA Glacial Amber Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-FRO Frostcrystal Rare Mineral Rare

Glacial Amber is recorded twice, once as SIG-006 and once as MIN-RARE-GLA. Both rows are left as recorded.

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 006 only: flora 4, ore 3, trees 3, total 10. That index does not name the rows, so those three counts are not assigned to names here.

Named flora recorded for Murkfrost Mire:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-FROS-006 Frostgrass Yes
FLORA-SNOW-006 Snowbloom Yes
FLORA-ICE--006 Ice-Fern No
FLORA-MURK-006 Murk Lichen No
FLORA-FROS-006 Frost Moss No
FLORA-PERM-006 Permafrost Spike No
FLORA-ICE -006 Ice Cap Flower No
FLORA-WINT-006 Winter Grass No

Two flora rows are marked harvestable. The harvestable index count is 4. Those figures are left as recorded and are not reconciled here. Two flora rows share the id FLORA-FROS-006. That duplicate is left as recorded. Ice-Fern is recorded as FLORA-ICE--006. Ice Cap Flower is recorded as FLORA-ICE -006, including the space. Both ids are left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Ice-Fern, Murk Lichen, Frost Moss, Permafrost Spike, Ice Cap Flower, and Winter Grass. The harvestable cell on those six says No, not No — Protected. The description cell on Frost Moss says it is collected for cold-resistance clothing crafts. The description cell on Permafrost Spike says the spike structure is harvestable as a construction material. The harvestable cell on both says No. 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 Murkfrost — Murk Ice Hollow
Layout Frozen Highland Descent
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Murkfrost Ancient — Deep Form

Boss

Field Value
Boss Murkfrost Ancient, Ancient of Biome 006
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Physical
Arena {'location': 'Frost Pool Network', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Murkfrost Mire's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by subpolar cold 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': 108, 'special_terrain': 'Murky sub-arctic mire', 'hazard_active': 'Murk Ice Crystallization'}
Ground blurb The Bleak Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Murkfrost Mire's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by subpolar cold conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Murkfrost Mire would be if the biome could choose to fight.

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. The master names are recorded with the truncated token "Murkfrost Mi".

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.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B006, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 006 Murkfrost Mire, K3V amber light, subpolar_cold environment, 0.68g low gravity, Frosthold Vigil 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 Murkfrost Mire, biome 006, subpolar cold, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A sinking bogland where glacial runoff collects in acidic pools and frost-laced marshes. Ice-crusted reeds rattle in the cold wind. Predators lurk below the semi-frozen surface. The ground shifts beneath every step. Murk Ice Crystallization is the recorded primary hazard. Glacial Amber is the signature resource. The Frosthold Vigil settlement Murkfrost Settlement is visible on the mire, with Frost Pool Network and Sinking 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, IMG00101 through IMG00120. Each uses this recorded stem, with the scene phrase in place of the type token: AAA game concept art, Murkfrost Mire, subpolar cold biome, [type], amber tundra, ice-edged stone, cold wind haze, Murk Ice Crystallization environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
