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 [[The WickSick Headhunters|WickSick Headhunters]].  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.  Wiksik has been the site of many wars over the years, and is usually a turbulent place to live or visit.

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 [[Animals|rhino]] as they will charge those who venture too close. Outsiders should heed the cautionary legends of the ''Butcher of Crystal Lake''.

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. 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. Wiksik has been the site of many wars over the years, and is usually a turbulent place to live or visit.

Crater

The Crater is where a meteor struck the Skull Throne of Wiksik, creating a massive hole in the ground and demolishing the throne. One can go down this hole and find a hot springs, and a caved in part of the tunnel system.

Kingdom of Wiksik - Throne Room

Wiksikians built the new throne room for the The Kingdom of Wiksik in May 2010. The new throne room is dedicated to StonerKitten, who will be forever loved and missed. The interior of the throne room is modeled after a diagram of the Court of King Arthur, found in a copy of Le Mort D'Arthur that washed up on the beach near the crab claw swamp.

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.

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.
