WOG-A-003994 preserved native original — WOG-A-003994 / WOG-A-007990
A stepped ochre-stone temple rises between four broadleaf trees, with a central dark doorway, carved blocks, ivy, side stairways and a blue-green foreground channel spilling over the front lip. The roof stump, tree crowns, stairs and finite rocky perimeter remain complete and crisp. Thin warm fringe/speckles are visible around some fine foliage and boundary details; do not infer a defect solely from hidden low-alpha colour.
Define a finite forest-ruin compound and a truthful source/outlet for its painted channel before placement. Qualify tree/temple size, ground seam, overhang and light/dark alpha at real Region/Hex scales; no playable entrance, ritual or water-service action is inferred.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003995 preserved native original — WOG-A-003995 / WOG-A-007991
A tall square-topped shrine with a carved stone face stands behind two entrance columns. Large rooted trees and vines occupy the left wall; a broad paved front court meets a separate two-level blue-green cascade on the right. Moss, cracks, fallen carved stone and small plants retain sharp native detail; the full silhouette has margin.
Resolve the temple-versus-exploration landmark role, courtyard footprint and independent right-side water contact. Review the fine branch/root fringe against real terrain without flattening the original. Keep face carvings and dark entrances as artwork, not additional player mechanics.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003996 preserved native original — WOG-A-003996 / WOG-A-007992
A pyramid-topped sanctuary with four freestanding columns frames a dark central entrance. A stair and arched stone bridge project toward the lower left, while a stream wraps the rocky base and drops at the right and foreground. A fallen cylindrical column, lily pads and left canopy are intact.
Qualify the compound bridge/ruin footprint against actual crossing and water geography, including the front outlet and relief height. Do not place the painted stream on dry terrain or infer walkable connectivity from the bridge image. Preserve the original native masonry and foliage.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003997 preserved native original — WOG-A-003997 / WOG-A-007993
The tall portrait depicts two stacked carved-mask doorways with a continuous stair approach, long hanging vines, rear broadleaf crowns and a small right-front pool fed by a waterfall. The complete top, side columns and rocky oval base fit inside the native 1024 by 1536 canvas. Stone courses, roots and moss remain detailed.
Specify a tall finite forest landmark with sufficient canopy/roof overhang and phone framing, then qualify its entrance scale, stair contact and small pond/cascade. Dark doorway interiors are not automatically alpha residue and must not be erased without a visible defect.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003998 preserved native original — WOG-A-003998 / WOG-A-007994
An offset rear tower with a circular crown opening and sun-face medallion overlooks a large round floor carving and stepped courtyard. A massive rooted tree anchors the upper right, with slender left obelisks and a three-column right arcade over a descending stream. Ivy, water, stairs and irregular outer stones remain sharp and complete.
Separate the proposed ruin/monument role from the painted circular symbol and bowl props, with no implied rituals or technology rewards. Qualify the wide court, tall tree occlusion, arcade contact and two water exits in truthful forest geography before any admission.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004099 preserved native original — WOG-A-004099 / WOG-A-007995
A torn purple skull standard rises beside a broken rear arch and standing column fragments. Scattered helmets, planted swords, bones, broken wagon timbers and three detached wheels sit on a finite mossy-grass base. The spear finials, ragged cloth, rubble and thin weapon silhouettes are complete and detailed; no ghost is depicted.
Resolve a finite abandoned-battlefield ruin role and intentional depiction of remains before world placement. Qualify weapon/cart/column scale, ground seam and tattered-cloth alpha against light and dark terrain. Painted equipment grants no salvage, combat, loot or haunting mechanic.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004100 preserved native original — WOG-A-004100 / WOG-A-007996
A large left arch with a blue-gold tattered banner frames a paved diagonal lane. Two wrecked wooden carts, a right bare tree with a perched black bird, foreground blue shield and helmets, arrows and a small red pennant remain distinct. Red-brown ground staining is part of the depicted scene and must not be treated automatically as unwanted red RGB.
Define the ruined-route or battlefield landmark contract and retain intentional shield/flag/stain colour. Test the raven/branch fine edges and full cart/road footprint at canonical size; do not infer a traversable road or collectible arms from the picture.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004101 preserved native original — WOG-A-004101 / WOG-A-007997
Three ragged blue-grey flags rise above rear broken arches and a right stair platform. A dirt track passes wrecked carts, wheels, shields, weapons and skeletal remains before a greenish reed-edged foreground pool. Rubble, thorn branches and water stones preserve native texture and the full outer shape has margin.
Qualify both the battlefield site footprint and the painted shallow-water contact in a truthful wet location. Review fine thorn/banner alpha and actor-equipment scale; the dark pool and bones do not establish undead, hazard, loot or water-system behavior.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004102 preserved native original — WOG-A-004102 / WOG-A-007998
The tall portrait has a skull banner above a raised ruined arch, a separate left arch and bare tree, a bowl-topped central column, broken cart on the right and two lower skull standards. Helmets, a gold-rimmed shield, spear points, stone paving and yellow-green vegetation are sharp within the complete 1024 by 1536 silhouette.
Define this as a finite memorial/battlefield/ruin compound before choosing world behavior. Check tall flag and tree overhang, phone framing, pillar/weapon size and terrain contact. The bowl, skull emblems and equipment remain decorative without additional rituals, loot or combat affordances.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004103 preserved native original — WOG-A-004103 / WOG-A-007999
A broad paved ruin encloses a round skull floor medallion between two rear arches. A toppled carved figure occupies the upper right; bare trees, broken columns, blue and red tattered flags, shields, weapons and a wrecked foreground cart fill the irregular stone-and-grass perimeter. The statue, finials and branch tips remain complete.
Specify the compound footprint and iconographic battlefield/memorial role, preserving intentional red/blue cloth and the carved skull. Qualify statue scale, path/ground seams, thin branch/flag alpha and visual clutter at actual regional and phone sizes; no active haunting or exploration reward is inferred.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004204 preserved native original — WOG-A-004204 / WOG-A-008000
A gold armillary instrument stands beneath a high semicircular stone arch above a second arched room. A small brass telescope projects from a lower plinth beside a right stair; conifers, ivy, a leaning inscribed slab and a shallow round foreground stone ring complete the finite grass-and-rock scene. Rings, masonry, stairs and silhouette remain crisp.
Define the lost-observatory ruin contract independently from any active research building. Qualify instrument scale, tall arch overhang, phone framing and finite floor contact. Carved marks, the telescope and gold mechanism do not add technology, navigation or exploration rewards.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004205 preserved native original — WOG-A-004205 / WOG-A-008001
A round tower with a broken blue-green metal dome shelters a large gold telescope. Its lower door opens onto a circular star-patterned terrace with two gold finials, a broad stair and a broken right colonnade. A fallen column, grass court and rear-right conifer remain complete; fine warm fringe is visible around parts of the dome and branches.
Qualify the circular terrace and dome silhouette at canonical landmark scale and inspect edge alpha over actual terrain. Preserve the telescope and deliberate dome patina; do not infer a new research service or repair state from this ornamental ruined scene.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004207 preserved native original — WOG-A-004207 / WOG-A-008003
A tall partly collapsed blue-green dome and rear stone wall overlook a gold armillary on a circular platform. Left columns, right ivy, flanking conifers, a central stair and two fallen front column pieces remain sharp within the complete portrait canvas. The rear middle arch/window contains irregular grey/magenta-looking material that needs targeted light/dark inspection before any edit.
Define the finite observatory role and tall scene frame, then inspect that exact opening to distinguish background residue from intended masonry and shadow. Preserve all original detail and avoid broad red/grey removal. Canonical foundation contact, instrument scale, state, normal context and full cost/lifecycle remain pending.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004208 preserved native original — WOG-A-004208 / WOG-A-008004
A large gold ring instrument crowns a round stepped terrace beneath a broken high arch. Several free arches and column remnants occupy the lower platforms among small conifers; a blue-and-gold star floor medallion lies at the front. Ivy, stone courses, thin gold rings and the complete rocky perimeter retain native detail.
Qualify the multi-level ruin footprint and tall ring/arch overhang beside actual trees and regional landmarks. The floor symbol and instrument do not establish world-map navigation or technology behavior. Resolve thin-ring readability, terrain seam and phone framing before admission.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004644 preserved native original — WOG-A-004644 / WOG-A-008005
A large carved rear arch rises over turquoise shallows containing a half-submerged sculpted head, stair run and fallen fluted columns. An engraved leaning slab, red coral branches and orange starfish occupy the rocky rim. Underwater paving, white waterlines and carved stone remain detailed; the full finite perimeter is retained, with fine fringe/speckles needing terrain-background review.
Qualify a truthful shallow marine/shore ruin role, water height and rim contact rather than placing the painted water on dry ground. Preserve intentional coral/starfish colour. Depth, projection, scale, tidal/state consistency and normal context remain open; no diving, salvage or exploration reward is implied.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004645 preserved native original — WOG-A-004645 / WOG-A-008006
A pediment with a round opening crowns the rear-left doorway and stepped landing above clear blue-green water. Broken pillars lean into a submerged paved court; a circular stone opening, shells, orange starfish and red coral sit at the right and front rim. Moss, stone cuts, seaweed and water refraction remain sharp and complete.
Resolve the marine-shallow site, entrance and submerged-court footprint with correct water/shore contact and scale. The circular rim is not automatically a usable well or entrance. Check fine warm edge fringe over actual water/land without stripping intentional shells or coral.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004646 preserved native original — WOG-A-004646 / WOG-A-008007
A mask-topped doorway and rear stone wall overlook a broad transparent-looking turquoise basin with standing and toppled columns, visible paving and scattered submerged blocks. A dry paved access tongue projects from the lower left while coral-like plants border the side rocks. The layered depth cues and irregular perimeter remain complete.
Qualify the exact dry access and shallow-water topology as a finite compound, including water level, column depth and coherent marine vegetation. Do not infer walkability from submerged paving or gameplay treasure from the doorway. Preserve the painterly stone and water detail.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004647 preserved native original — WOG-A-004647 / WOG-A-008008
The 1023 by 1537 portrait has a tall two-door ruin above an arched bridge, an upper basin spilling at the right into a long lower pool, and a mossy half-submerged face on the front-right bank. Conifers, ivy, stepped masonry and fallen columns remain crisp and fully inside the original canvas.
Retain the exact unusual native dimensions; they are not themselves an error requiring padding or resampling. This cool vegetated cascade scene needs its own freshwater/relief contract rather than inheriting the marine role of other Sunken Ruins. Qualify both water levels, bridge contact, lower outlet, footprint and phone framing.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-004648 preserved native original — WOG-A-004648 / WOG-A-008009
A large rear arch and smaller side openings enclose a raised semicircular stair and water-filled platform. Fluted columns, fallen drums, low walls and submerged paving continue into the foreground pool, with reeds and lily pads around the rocky boundary. Stone relief and blue-green water remain detailed, and the full silhouette is preserved.
Define a shallow freshwater or marsh-ruin contract appropriate to the painted reeds/lily pads instead of assigning every Sunken Ruins variant the same biome. Qualify pond depth, platform/column contact, safe ground seam and actual Region/Hex scale/state; the imagery grants no new travel or exploration action.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003624 preserved native original — WOG-A-003624 / WOG-A-008010
A snow-covered timber hall and small work hut stand beside a separate left watchtower, with blue roofs, flags and hanging snowflake emblems. A central fire with a tripod pot, fish rack, crates, barrels and railings lead to a short foreground pier and rowboat among floating ice. Snow edges, timber braces, trees and the complete shoreline remain detailed.
Define the finite arctic shoreline settlement/outpost role and consistent dock/water contact, roof/canopy scale and snow state. The painted fish, boat, fire and supplies do not independently create food production, navigation, inventory or military capability. Preserve the complete original.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003625 preserved native original — WOG-A-003625 / WOG-A-008011
A warm-windowed hall and rear stone-based watchtower stand inside partial pointed fencing. A conical hide-covered hut, two racks, central fire and many crates occupy the snowy court; a long right-front jetty has a rowboat and a small cream-sailed boat beside an ice channel. All roof tips, poles, boats and ice-bound margins remain intact.
Qualify the multi-building coastal footprint, pier and two-boat scale, shoreline direction, snow/ice continuity and phone framing. Faction-coloured flags, cargo crates and visible sails are decorative unless backed by an existing implementation contract; no new transport or trade rules are inferred.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003626 preserved native original — WOG-A-003626 / WOG-A-008012
A compact central blue-roofed hall and several cabins sit under a broad rear snow-covered rocky rise. A left laddered watchtower, branching paths, hanging brown hides, stacked goods and a small front dock/rowboat fill the layered compound. Snowy conifers, rock strata and thin flagpoles are crisp within the complete finite perimeter.
Resolve this relief-heavy outpost as its own canonical terrain/shore contract rather than flattening it onto ordinary ground. Distinguish the depicted hide rack from food output, and qualify actor/building scale, hill contact, dock geometry and snow-state consistency.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003627 preserved native original — WOG-A-003627 / WOG-A-008013
The tall portrait combines a rear frozen blue cascade, very high timber lookout, central hall and right work hut with a hide tent, fish rack and foreground cooking fire. A left lifting crane suspends a basket above the water near a short pier and rowboat. Ice, rope, braces, roof edges and the complete rocky base retain detail.
Preserve its existing canonical-role/contact/draw-size follow-up. Qualify the frozen relief, crane reach, dock/boat contact, tall lookout overhang and phone framing at a truthful arctic coast. Painted crane cargo, fish and fire do not by themselves grant hauling, production or military behavior.
Atlas reference record

WOG-A-003628 preserved native original — WOG-A-003628 / WOG-A-008014
A larger multi-level snowy settlement has a hilltop watchtower reached by a long stair, a raised main hall, lower cabins/tents and partial pointed fencing. Racks, barrels, a pier/rowboat, many small conifers and two pale chimney plumes remain readable. Dark violet/navy patches persist in the original lower-right water; native roof, snow and terrain detail should be retained.
Carry forward the existing linked boundary/replacement and canonical-context work; do not reset it to an initial review or overwrite the original. Qualify the full cliff/shore footprint, water palette and contacts, smoke opacity, settlement scale and phone readability against the current preferred linked output before any admission. Existing partial candidate WOG-A-008365, SHA-256 8093d59b6f0fe836cc0e84feb2c36e59e2e6ed3c481192249692fc9af1167087, was freshly viewed and remains unapproved/non-active; retain its earlier bounded repair and pending whole-boundary gate.
