Ground

A shadowed eerie biome where the land is filled with deep ravines that produce endless echoes of sounds made hours or years ago. The hollow is an acoustic archive. Ancient battles can still be heard. Some echoes have become self-referential loops.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Echoing Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F06 Cogmist Engineers
Echo Hollow secondary N/A F06 Cogmist Engineers
Great Ravine primary N/A F06 Cogmist Engineers

Settlement pages: Echo Hollow, Echoing Settlement, Great Ravine. Settlement rows on the faction civilization table for this biome also have pages: Echoing Watch, The Echo Laboratory. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F06 Cogmist Engineers Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. All seven NPC rows.

No other faction is recorded on an Echoing Hollow 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 faction table also gives F12 Soulglass Circle a foothold here, so the biome is contested.

Resources

Full table with IDs and node details: B049 Echoing Hollow/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B049 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-049 Acoustic Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-049 Echo Stone PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-049 Sound Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-ECH Echite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-SOU Sound Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-ACO Acoustic Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-ECH Echo Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-SOU Sound Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 049 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 Echoing Hollow:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-VOID-049 Voidbloom Yes
FLORA-AETH-049 Aethermoss Yes
FLORA-HARM-049 Harmonic Crystal Plant No
FLORA-ARCA-049 Arcane Moss No
FLORA-PRIS-049 Prism Fern No
FLORA-COGR-049 Cogrim Orchid No
FLORA-VOID-049 Void Tendril No
FLORA-SURG-049 Surge Bloom 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 Harmonic Crystal Plant, Arcane Moss, Prism Fern, Cogrim Orchid, Void Tendril, and Surge Bloom.

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 Echoing — Echo Core
Layout Anomaly Core Run
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Acousticwatcher — Deep Form
Ground note The Echo 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 Acousticwatcher, Ancient of Biome 049
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Frost
Arena Great Ravine
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Echoing Hollow'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) 124
Arena terrain Echo-amplifying hollow
Arena hazard Echo Chamber Resonance Rupture
Unique material Reality Scale
Ground blurb The Reality Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Echoing Hollow'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 Echoing Hollow would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Echo Wind and Sound 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-049-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-049-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Acoustic Crystal harvest modified.
WX-049-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-049-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-049-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-049-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 14, Ashfall 9, Cold Event 12, Any Weather 13, Rain/Mist 6, Clear Sky 16. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 4, Ashfall 1, Cold Event 3, Any Weather 4, Rain/Mist 1, Clear Sky 2.

Mobs

Five named mobs are recorded. One further row records 65 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 65 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 20 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Acousticwatcher 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-049-01 Acousticscale Swift Scout 87 CR03361 False
MOB-049-02 Echostalker Ambush Predator 114 CR03362 False
MOB-049-03 Acousticfang Elemental Creature 126 CR03363 False
MOB-049-04 Echocoil Scavenger 114 CR03364 False
MOB-049-05 Acousticwatcher Node Guardian 193 CR03365 False

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

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
WE0145 Echo Season Echoing Holl Environmental Event Environmental 60min 8hr FALSE WORLD_STATE 45-90 minutes real-time
WE0146 Sound Bloom Echoing Holl Resource Event Resource 60min 8hr FALSE RANDOM 30 minutes real-time
WE0147 Echo Storm Echoing Holl Major Transformation Event Major Transformation 0min 0hr TRUE RANDOM 3-8 hours real-time

WE0145 notes: Acoustic Crystal nodes restricted, hazard blocks access during the event. Resource bonus on that row is FALSE. Affects territory is FALSE. Spawn override on that row is NODE_GUARDIAN_ELITE. WE0146 notes: Acoustic Crystal nodes surge, triple yield during the event. Resource bonus on that row is TRUE. Affects territory is FALSE. Spawn override on that row is NODE_GUARDIAN_ELITE. WE0147 notes: Acoustic Crystal nodes restricted, hazard blocks access during the event. Resource bonus on that row is FALSE. Affects territory is TRUE. Spawn override on that row is ELITE_SURGE. Biome state change recorded as Echoing Hollow_STATE_ALTERED.

Quests

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

Favor

Echoing Hollow 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: Q0433 → Q0434 → Q0435 → Q0436 → Q0437 → Q0438 → Q0439 → Q0440 → Q0441.
  • Favor is lost: −5 for each quest done for F12 Soulglass Circle 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 Echoing Hollow. 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 B049, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 049 Echoing Hollow, K3V amber light, arcane_anomaly environment, 0.68g low gravity, Cogmist Engineers 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 Echoing Hollow, biome 049, arcane anomaly, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A shadowed eerie biome where the land is filled with deep ravines that produce endless echoes of sounds made hours or years ago. The hollow is an acoustic archive. Ancient battles can still be heard. Some echoes have become self-referential loops. Terrain recorded as echo-amplifying hollow. Reality bends. Geometry is unreliable. Arcane energy surges without warning. Echo Chamber Resonance Rupture is the recorded primary hazard. Acoustic Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: violet, prismatic, silv. The Cogmist Engineers settlement Echoing Settlement is visible, with Echo Hollow and Great Ravine 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, IMG00961 through IMG00980. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Echoing Hollow, arcane anomaly biome, [type], reality distortion, arcane energy surges, amber and void contrast, Echo Chamber Resonance Rupture environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
