Pre-arrival survey · hexploration atlas
4 candidate sites identified across the surveyed region of Green Reach II. Land covers 47% of the map. Best scoring: Quarry Terrace at 80/100. Pick a site to open its hex map — 12,097 hexes, roughly 32 km across, dark until you walk it. Revised upward after landing: the mats are the base of a food web, not the whole of it. Macrofauna are present and were missed because they are fossorial, sessile, or active only in the cold hours — the first pass imaged them as terrain, and in a sense it was right. Assume anything on this map that has not moved yet is still capable of it. Preliminary assays suggest some native protein is digestible — pending a proper panel.
Each candidate is assessed over its own survey radius on the factors a settlement lives or dies on. Water carries the most weight, then level buildable ground, then soil, climate, and whether there is any high ground to hold. The score is the weighted total.

AGE stat blocks, table-ready. Defense and Speed are 10 + Dexterity; Toughness is Constitution + armor; Fortune is the survival resource, not hit points.
