History / Story:
- As one journeys through the caves of the mountains north and east of Midgaard, it turns increasingly colder. Eventually, one finds oneself in the frozen wastes of the realm known as Arctica. Ruled only by snowbeasts and other tundra-dwelling creatures, it is a trackless wilderness of treacherous paths and frozen caves. Travelers whisper in hushed tones of two dragons rumored to inhabit the caves of the frozen
realms...
Mobs of Note:
- Xenia (Silver Dragon Pendant, melted shards, silver chain), White Dragon (cobalt ring), Giant Snowman (ice tiara), Purple Dragon (important key), Elsa ()
General Zone Strategy:
- This area is a vast jumble of oddity: you'll meet killer Penguins, resist touching the delicate controls that run the MUD, avoid Jack Frost and his hair-trigger frostiness, and punt loads of tundra fauna.
- The White Dragon fidos. All the dragons have ranged breath attacks. Check out the Purple Dragon in the Purple Dragon's Lair, past the Computer Room.
- Elsa, the Ice Queen starring in Disney's Animated Feature, Frozen, is hiding in the ICEolation Chamber. Seek Elsa there, but leave a summoner in the "Do Not Enter... Death Trap!" room. The ICEolation chamber is an !exit !magic room. Elsa will randomly spawn a Giant Snowman bodyguard when attacked.
- Her younger sister, Anna, roams the frozen forests, warning of her sister's dangerous vocal talents!
- Olaf, the little snowman dude, drops all his decorations on death, and -- I kid you not -- watch as Sven the Reindeer eats his carrot nose!
- OK, maybe I was just dreaming.
