The opening storyline of Arknights: Endfield takes place on the hostile planet Terra-Talos II. The story explores themes of exploration, survival, and the pursuit of progress in a world full of dangers. Terra-Talos II is teeming with dangerous creatures (Aggeloi) and a strange, destructive force (Blight), which threaten attempts to colonize the planet. The events unfold on Terra-Talos II, a planet full of dangers and secrets. Much of the planet remains unexplored, hiding many secrets in its ancient ruins. Terra-Talos II is also home to a dangerous habitat and an anomaly known as "Catastrophe." Natural disasters also plague the planet, leaving behind a valuable mineral called Originium. This material infects people with the progressive disease "Oripathia," but can also enhance the ability to use "Art" (magic). Infected people become outcasts and are persecuted. In response, some of them form the Reunion movement, a militant group that fights against the despotic governments of Terra.

Talos II is a natural satellite of a gas giant named Talos. 152 years ago, pioneers from Terra reopened the Aethergate and set foot on this moon for the first time. Talos II's atmosphere is nitrogen-rich, with enough oxygen to support life and greenhouse gases to retain heat. However, the alien sun and the massive gas giant towering in the sky constantly remind the pioneers that their current location is countless light-years from their distant homes. Fortunately, extensive mountain ranges, a diversified river network, and rich vegetation have fostered a relatively stable biosphere. After the destruction of the Aethergate, humans survived on Talos II for over a hundred years. Its natural resources were a vital source of sustenance for the local population. Over many generations, the Terrans and their isolated descendants built and expanded various outposts and cities across this new world, establishing footholds for future civilizations. Astronomical observations indicate that an unknown number of natural satellites orbit the gas giant, but only one is habitable. Given Talos II's unique location in this star system, as well as the presence of the Ethergate, we have reason to believe that this habitable environment was not a random gift from the universe. Talos hosts a hostile environment, natural disasters, and mysterious beings that drove humanity back, trapping the survivors in the "Belt of Civilization."

Valley IV: A frontier production region selected by the UWST organization. Located on the outskirts of the Belt of Civilization. After the end of the Aggeloi War, the region attracted the attention of the UWST due to its rich mineral reserves.

Wuling: Associated with the Hongshan Academy of Sciences (HAS), this is the region where HAS is implementing initiatives to combat the blight, a dangerous phenomenon associated with the etheric rift.

Valley IV: This region includes several zones and the first enemy types. Some locations include: The Hub – Endfield Industries' headquarters in Valley IV. It contains the main AIC zone, the power plant, and the base itself. Valley Pass – Includes locations such as Valley Transfer, Arsenal, Temporary Shelter, Valley Fort, and Abandoned Trail. Aburrey Quarry – A manufacturing base in Valley IV, featuring tower cranes. Power Plateau – An area containing the Bonekrusher military camp, the Aether testing site, the Originium power plant, and a communications station. Origin Lodespring – An area rich in mineral resources, featuring anchors that emit shockwaves. Power Plateau – An area containing the Bonekrusher military camp, the Aether testing site, the Originium power plant, and a communications station.

Originium is an energy-rich crystalline mineral first brought to Talos II by humans. Originium exists in several different forms and is humanity's most important natural energy source and industrial material. Due to its exceptional energy density, it can be burned directly to generate energy for immediate use, or subject to various refining processes for specialized applications. When originium expends its enormous internal energy, it leaves no traces behind, unlike conventional combustibles. Instead, it gradually disintegrates into a fine dust—a phenomenon known as "originium activation." While this activated state poses a risk of oripathy spreading, these dangers are effectively contained within the controlled environments of Talos II. The energy released by originium can be converted through various means into thermal energy and any other known form of energy. This unique property, known as "originium adaptability," has ensured its indispensable role in human economic systems. On Talos II, Originium remains the primary energy source and a key material for industrial production and art.

This translucent black crystal, a common mineral on Terra, contains immense energy and is the primary cause of catastrophes. It is widely used in the arts as a primary material and catalyst for all forms of art and artefacts. Without Originium, the effectiveness of art would undoubtedly decline dramatically. As technology advances, more and more countries are beginning to use it as an energy source.

Anchors are mysterious creatures used as catalysts for the creation of Aggels. They appear as monolithic, gray, diamond-shaped stone structures scattered across Talos II. Orange halos float around them, and a red core resides in the center. If a living creature is infected with Originium, its cells are replaced by crystals. After falling, anchors begin to attract materials to themselves, creating aggels. To destroy an Anchor, its core, located at the bottom corner, must be destroyed (Anchors typically crash into the ground, and their cores can be located very deep). Some Anchors also have defenses:

Fragile Branches: Their barrier disappears after a single deflected strike and then slowly regenerates. They can be identified by golden cracks.

--

Originium Branches: Create barriers that completely block shockwaves. The same branch can be used multiple times. Branch Slugs appear in difficult areas—mobile creatures that automatically create a protective zone when exposed to an anchor's force. To stay safe, you must follow them closely.
