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 headhunting as a recreational pastime and it is also the birthplace of many of the (in)famous Wicksick Headhunters. Outsiders do 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.
The Skull Throne
The Skull Throne is the palace from which the Kingdom Of Skulls is administered. Peaceful outsiders, esepcially those formally representing their clans, are always welcome at the Skull Throne. Visitors are cautioned that the people of the Kingdom have a low tolerance for arrogant or violent outsiders.
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.
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.
Babakueria (Wicksick Island)
A heavily-disputed territory, Babakueria lies due S 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 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.
Groups Operating In Wiksik
There are a number of groups active in Wikisk:
- The WickSick Headhunters
- The Wiksik Tribe
- The Necromancer's Guild
- Kingdom Of Skulls
- Durham Utility
- Exotic Sports Hunting Club
- Healers of Shartak
- Native Resistance Front
