Description:[]

Northwest of the great city Skara Brae and into the mountains, one comes upon the frozen tundra known simply as the Arctic Empire. In the taiga lands before the full tundra plain, a group of Eskimos have established a tenuous lifestyle. Surviving by trapping and hunting, they trade their goods with the inhabitants of Skara Brae and defend themselves from the giants and barbarian raiders that wander the trackless wastes. Legends tell of a mighty giant king deep in a cave, and a powerful mage in a mountain fortress...

Story/History:[]

This area is accessible via paths northwest of Skara Brae. A low-mid level maze zone with a fair number of rooms, low-level aggro wandering mobs and a smattering of low-mid level equipment.

This zone contains several thematically linked areas: The Eskimo Village , the Giant Kingdom , the Wizard's Fortress , the Barbarian Village .

General Zone Strategy:[]

You may want to bring a tracker as the Arctic Wastes are a maze of frozen dead ends.

The Wizard at the northernmost edge of the zone is in an !magic room. Beware his pet, the Remorahz!

There is a DT in this zone (Bouncing in the Air) up from the Trampoline.
