Notes:

  • The above is a territory map, not a map of jungle density (which constantly changes). Therefore, the jungle and village squares will very likely be coloured differently in-game than they are here. Squares within the village will be displayed as "Wiksik" on the game map, while jungle squares will be displayed as "Jungle".
  • The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.

A Rough Guide To Wiksik

Traditionally Wiksik has been the most warlike of the three native villages on Shartak. The ordinary Wiksik villagers actively pursue the ancient traditions of head-hunting as a recreational pastime and it is also the birthplace of many of the (in)famous WickSick Headhunters. In the past, Outsiders did not often receive a peaceful welcome in Wiksik and many would consider themselves fortunate to survive 24 hours within the general vicinity of the village. In February 2009, Wiksik saw itself under heavy occupation and violence by the Greater Shartak Unification Coalition, who eventually renamed it into the State of New York, a protectorate of the Greater York Federation. As of April 2009, Wiksik used to be a battleground between GSUC and members of the KOS/NG Alliance. Now a bitter war ensues between the newly formed Kingdom of Wiksik, led by King Anthor, previous leader of the KOS, and the reborn Kingdom of Skulls, led by King Kuru, cannibal half-brother of the original KOS founder and leader, Black Fang.

The Skull Throne

The Skull Throne is a palace, erected during the reign of the Kingdom of Skulls. It is currently occupied by King Anthor and the Kingdom of Wiksik.

The Bath House

Wiksik is the only village to have a public Bath House. Everyone is free to use it at their convenience, just remember to mop up any spare water. And tip the cleaning lady.

Carved on the wall is some writing. It reads “Mind the wet floor!" Steam surrounds you. Someone has left the shower on. There doesn't appear to be anyone around. You feel an overwhelming urge to strip and enjoy the privacy of a long hot shower.”

The Spirit Hut

Protected by The Necromancer's Guild, this hut on the southern edge of Wiksik is a haven for spirits haunting the village. Spirits are encouraged to congregate here and share their knowledge of the afterlife. Spirits should not be exorcised from this hut. It was made official with its own pretty icon by Simon in April 2009. The spirit hut is currently open for business.

Crystal Lake

A short walk NW of Wiksik lies one of Shartak's finest beauty spots, Crystal Lake, rightly famous for the magnificent sunsets that cause its silver waters to sparkle like a jewel. It is recommended that visitors make time to watch the numerous animal herds that frequent the western shores of the Lake at sunrise and sunset. Care should be taken when dealing with the indigenous rhino as they will charge those who venture too close. Outsiders should heed the cautionary legends of the Butcher of Crystal Lake.

Wicksick Island (Babakueria)

A heavily-disputed territory, Wicksick Island (Babakueria) lies due south of Wiksik. It arose from the waters off the shores of Terror Beach in early 2007. It is notable for its multilevel ruined tower, a unique feature on Shartak.

The Kingdom Of Skulls

The Kingdom of Skulls is a name given to the extended territory surrounding Wiksik. It comprises the six provinces of the Bloody Headland, the Burning Fields, the Sybil's Grove, Tarak's Spit, Terror Beach and Wicksick Island. Within the boundaries of the Kingdom it is forbidden for an outsider to attack a native.

The Kingdom Of Wiksik

The Kingdom of Wiksik is currently the royalty of Wiksik, lead by King Anthor. The royal concubine is Stonerkitten and the ambassador is currently poisonous soldier. The Kingdom of Wiksik is currently threatened by the Kingdom of Skulls and King Kuru, challenging for his right to the Skull Throne.


Groups Operating In Wiksik

There are a number of groups active in Wiksik, activity varying from month to month. While in Wiksik you may encounter representatives of the following groups:
