Ground

A rugged mountainous biome where the winds howl through cliff passages and wraith-like creatures made of condensed mist patrol the heights. The cliffs are repositories of ancient spirit energy that solidifies in cold air.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Spirit Hollow secondary N/A F06 Cogmist Engineers
Wraith Cliff Passages primary N/A F06 Cogmist Engineers
Wraithcliff Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F06 Cogmist Engineers

Settlement pages: Spirit Hollow, Wraith Cliff Passages, Wraithcliff Settlement. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F06 Cogmist Engineers Starting control. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. All seven NPC rows.
F08 Frosthold Vigil Contested. The faction table gives it a foothold here.

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 F08 Frosthold Vigil a foothold here, so the biome is contested.

Resources

Full table with IDs and node details: B060 Wraithcliff/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B060 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-060 Spirit Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-060 Wraith Stone PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-060 Mist Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-SPI Spirite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-WRA Wraith Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-MIS Mist Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-WRA Wraith Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-SPI Spirit Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 060 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 Wraithcliff Highlands:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-FROS-060 Frostgrass Yes
FLORA-SNOW-060 Snowbloom Yes
FLORA-ICE--060 Ice-Fern No
FLORA-MURK-060 Murk Lichen No
FLORA-FROS-060 Frost Moss No
FLORA-PERM-060 Permafrost Spike No
FLORA-ICE -060 Ice Cap Flower No
FLORA-WINT-060 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.

Damage type Physical
Arena Wraith Cliff Passages
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Wraithcliff Highlands'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) 84
Arena terrain Spirit possession risk highlands
Arena hazard Spirit Possession
Unique material Bleak Scale
Ground blurb The Bleak Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Wraithcliff Highlands'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 Wraithcliff Highlands would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Wraith Wind, Spirit Rain, and Mist. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-060-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-060-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Spirit Crystal harvest modified.
WX-060-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-060-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-060-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-060-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 10, Ashfall 10, Cold Event 10, Any Weather 14, Rain/Mist 14, Clear Sky 12. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 0, Any Weather 5, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 1.

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 14 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Highlandwatcher 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 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.

Quests

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

Favor

Wraithcliff Highlands 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: Q0532 → Q0533 → Q0534 → Q0535 → Q0536 → Q0537 → Q0538 → Q0539 → Q0540.
  • Favor is lost: −5 for each quest done for F08 Frosthold Vigil outside this biome. That faction contests this biome. Quests in this biome never cost favor here.
  • Skipping quests gives no favor.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B060, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 060 Wraithcliff Highlands, K3V amber light, subpolar_cold 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 Wraithcliff Highlands, biome 060, subpolar cold, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A rugged mountainous biome where the winds howl through cliff passages and wraith-like creatures made of condensed mist patrol the heights. The cliffs are repositories of ancient spirit energy that solidifies in cold air. Terrain recorded as spirit possession risk highlands. Ice-edged highlands and wind-carved stone. The amber sun gives little warmth here. Spirit Possession is the recorded primary hazard. Spirit Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: steel blue, dark pin. The Cogmist Engineers settlement Wraithcliff Settlement is visible, with Spirit Hollow and Wraith Cliff Passages 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, IMG01181 through IMG01200. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Wraithcliff Highlands, subpolar cold biome, [type], amber tundra, ice-edged stone, cold wind haze, Spirit Possession environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
