Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F08 Frosthold Vigil Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.
F09 Cinderwarden All seven NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F09 Cinderwarden (7 NPC rows). An NPC can belong to any faction and live or work in a settlement controlled by another faction.

Resources

  • Cold Iron (Shrou) (GATHERABLE, Rare)
  • Ice Shard (Shrou) (GATHERABLE, Rare)
  • Permafrost Clay (Shrou) (GATHERABLE, Epic)
  • Refined Frost Crystal (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Refined Murkvine Bark (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Refined Tundra Salt (GATHERABLE, Rare)
  • Refined Windscoured Flint (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Shroud Frost Crystal (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Shroud Icewort Fiber (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Shroud Murkvine Bark (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Snowbloom Extract (Shrou) (GATHERABLE, Common)


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B030 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-030 Cloud Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-030 Shroud Stone PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-030 Mist Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-ICE Ice Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-SHR Shroudite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-CLO Cloud Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-SHR Shroud Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-CLO Cloud Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 030 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 Shrouded Peaks:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-FROS-030 Frostgrass Yes
FLORA-SNOW-030 Snowbloom Yes
FLORA-ICE--030 Ice-Fern No
FLORA-MURK-030 Murk Lichen No
FLORA-FROS-030 Frost Moss No
FLORA-PERM-030 Permafrost Spike No
FLORA-ICE -030 Ice Cap Flower No
FLORA-WINT-030 Winter Grass 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 Ice-Fern, Murk Lichen, Frost Moss, Permafrost Spike, Ice Cap Flower, and Winter Grass.

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 Shrouded — Shroud Base
Layout Ice Shelf Network
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72

Boss

Field Value
Boss Peakstalker, Ancient of Biome 030
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Nature
Arena {'location': 'Cloud Shelf', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Shrouded Peaks'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': 92, 'special_terrain': 'Zero-visibility sub-polar peaks', 'hazard_active': 'Visibility Zero'}
Ground blurb The Bleak Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Shrouded Peaks'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 Shrouded Peaks would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Cloud Wind and Shroud Storm. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-030-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-030-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Cloud Crystal harvest modified.
WX-030-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-030-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-030-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-030-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 18, Ashfall 10, Cold Event 11, Any Weather 15, Rain/Mist 9, Clear Sky 7. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 2, Any Weather 1, Rain/Mist 2, 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 15 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero.

NODE_030_N05 Shrouded Void Node 5 NEGATIVE Located within the node guardian's primary patrol circuit centre. The primary hazard (Visibility Zero) 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 eight 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 five 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.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B030, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 030 Shrouded Peaks, 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 Shrouded Peaks, biome 030, subpolar cold, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. Towering snow-covered peaks permanently shrouded in an eternal cloud layer that blocks all sunlight. Navigation is by echolocation and touch alone. The shroud has its own micro-weather system completely isolated from the planet surface. Terrain recorded as zero-visibility sub-polar peaks. Ice-edged highlands and wind-carved stone. The amber sun gives little warmth here. Visibility Zero is the recorded primary hazard. Cloud Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: Blue-grey murk ice, pale tundra, amber K3V long-shadow cast. The Frosthold Vigil settlement Shrouded Settlement is visible, with Cloud Shelf and Shroud 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, IMG00581 through IMG00600. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Shrouded Peaks, subpolar cold biome, [type], amber tundra, ice-edged stone, cold wind haze, Visibility Zero environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
